[04/16] [Resonant Blue] Morning Musume 36th Single *Download P.1

[yumestarlet]

Risa, Eri, and Ai were all amazing.

I'm not amazingly enthusiastic about it because of one simple thing-- how long are they going to pretend that Junjun and Linlin aren't there?! Linlin has amazing vocals, and if they gave Junjun a chance, I think she could've shined in this PV because I think she has the capability to pull of the sexy mood they're going for in this PV AMAZINGLY well. Ai is also clearly capable of that (and she pulls it off perfectly), but god, what I wouldn't give to not just have Junjun being some blurry figure all the way in the back.

As for Risa, she's always one of the best performers in the group. I love all the heart she puts into her dancing. She looks really great. And Eri just keeps improving time after time, she's amazing to watch!

I generally liked the choreography, but, uh... I just had to laugh at Koharu at ~1:41 and on. She looks great, but I just can't take her seriously in a PV like this.

[yokoso]

Watched it... what a disappointement. The dances are really sexy, but the whole PV is just dance moves! And Koharu really stands out, and not in a good way. Girl, this ain't one of your Kirari releases, stop grinning like an idiot.

Thank you.

I do enjoy Koharu.. but she totally isn't cutting it here.  That grin seems completely out of place.  That and (no fault of her own) something about her outfit annoys the snot outta me.

Bleh, don't get your hopes up. Here's a preview of what the alternate version will look like :

As you can see, Sayu gets a lot more screen time.

Seriously, though, this will be the new single for their Taiwan debut tour and they don't even show the pandas!!!
WTF is UFA waiting for ? 

[DJ Maimai]

Song was great, costumes were great, dance was ok.
This can't seriously be the PV, it has to be the dance shot.
I won't loose faith in Tsunku just yet, I don't think he'd release something this half-assed as the actual PV.

WHERE'S JUNJUN?

[Sukoshi]

Don't like the pv...cause it's hard to see all the girls....good thing there's another version to come.

^Thank goodness. But I did like this version though, it was ok.  I didn' t real like Koha's outfit in this.  So that was Ai's voice around the 1:19 mark(Thinking about the youtube radio rip)  : I loved it. I actually thought the voice right after hers was Eri's and not Koha's.  I love Eri's look around the 2:12 mark.  I would cap it but it wouldn't look good enough.  Oh, and LiniLin's twist at the end 

[cool_kickin_dude]

Love the song! love how Sayu's says "save me!" have to admit, now I'll have to buy the single

[Linus]

LOL THE Manpower!!! flashback. Amateur editing on a dance shoot video.

Energetic choreography, I really like it. White shirts for the people that sings, great, they need to be recognized among the Thriller dark. Nice looks from everyone. I wish Reina would straight her hair and have it like when she joined; the curls vanish her coolness, in my opinion.

Reina-Ai tandem is ok with me, as far as it goes with this song. XXI Century's Daite! had to have leads accordingly to the difficulty of the composition. I'm glad Tsunku understood Koharu is good in her Kirari character, but not too much in her Morning Musume role, and gave her only a few lines. I'd be the happiest men in the world if those lines would have gone to Eri, by the way, having Jun and Lin doing the parts Risa and Eri currently do.

i just watch the video over and over....

First off, yes the pv does need alot of work.  If those who doesn't know who MoMusu is and watch this pv, they would think that that it is a 2, maybe 3 girls group (Ai, Reina and maybe Koharu) while the rest are backup dancer, really good and sexy/cute dancers, i might add. 
-When will UFA starts get it through their idiotic brains that they need to also promote the other five non-lead singers and start giving them more lines every next singles?  don't they know that if or when those three members will graduate and leave the group (hopefully pursuing a H!P career) things will get worse? for the future, they really should promote and start one or more of the other 5 members in the lead so as the give them experience as leads and also for a chance to let fans and others getting used to them asap.  The girls have great potential and lots of love from fans, but seeing them turn out like this hurt us and the girls themselves. 
Also, think how the girl feel?  Maybe since they aren't as promoted as the other girl, they think that they'll never have the lead and won't try their best or felt lonely and saddened that it'll affect their work and performance.  I might be over thinking it, but please see my point.  If they felt they'll never have a chance, then they probably won't bother, but if they would start giving more lines among all the members or give them important roles, they'll see a glimpse of hope and really try their best and improve. 
As much as i love Ai-chan and Reina (koha.... eh.....), i want to see the other girls shine and utilize the potential and beyond. 
I blame UFA for their stupid management methods.  IMO, Hello! Project have a lot of great potential and really are awesome, it's just they are managed by idiots who only thinks of the profits of now and not the future.  they don't give the girls alot of chance and opportunity and almost overwhelms the fans with a few selected ones that it almost to the point of annoying (not the girls fault, though, mostly UFA)

With that said, i think the dance is cool,  all of them are really incredible, gorgeous and sexy and beautiful.  and great dancers.  i love MoMusu more and more.  the outfits are... how should i say it?....  dark, hip, sexy, sassy?
funny how both Reina and Ai have the same outfits on, though....
I really hope that the other version would be alot better. 
after watching the subtitled PV, i think i understand the title and the song alot more and why tsunku did it the way he did....

fyi,  being the idiot that i am, i totally didn't get it through my mind that the limited A and B editions are, in fact, "LIMITED," as in "only for a limited time... and i was planning on buying it on the day of it release or after.... BAKA!
soo.... limited A is sold out on CDjapan, so i only got the Limited B.... knows where limited A is still available? that will still charts....? 
I really love this song, and i'll support Momusu for life, i don't mind buying all three editions.... plus Single V.

I STILL love this song

[chokkan 2]

i'll support Momusu for life, i don't mind buying all three editions.... plus Single V.

but the S&H is killing me, so I have to get my CDs @ Yesasia ..........

I think it's ok since I always go crazy when I'm in Japan LOL

btw, according to Yesasia, the DVDs of LE A & LE B are different

[sousora]

My watching of this video has become a little obsessive... it's that damn good... I'm a little worried. Really.

[hao9384]

i watched it a few mins ago <_< just woke up xD Clothes, Choreography and Song are Great, but the PV is crap ^^ It looks like it's a 3 Member Girl Group... cute background dancers... lol, i hope the other pv version is better, if not, i'm going to kill tsunku and ufa

*In Cliche TV annoucer like voice*
Are you having problems watching the RB PV over and over again?
Has trying to figure out if the Camera is blurring the girls in the back or if its just the quality?
Have you been watching it so much you know the dance already?

If thats the case you might be one of several people with Resonant Blue Promotional Virus, a rare instance where the PV is so interesting in some way (whether it is good or bad is dependant on the person) that you can't look away. The solution? Wheen yourself off to just the song then get away from it and go for another PV...lol
*/end cliche voice*

I've been watching it over and over now... and reading the threads around the net about it, and really I've come to this kind of state where I'm fine with it and its enjoyable in some narrowed down level. I still have a problem with the spazmatic camera sometimes...shifting between 3 scenes really fast can be a little hard to bear for me... but other than that I kind of just see it as entertaining. I do miss the moving camera type PV which would allow us to see some focus on the girls in the back while its panning on, for example, Risa's "Baby baby" lines would be cool if it did a pan across her back to the front which would get whoever is behind her at the time, but knowing that they went with the stationary camera direction it seems fine.

I also marvel at the people who make the PV  and their love of reflective surfaces...lol I don't know why.

Dang someplace already sold out of one of the versions? I need to preorder one but I can't decide which with them both being DVD types...

The thing is in the end I think, I didn't really care much about the PV... I mean I knew I liked the song well enough (pending the lyrics as I usually do), but I really want to hear it in concert or at a live performance more than anything else.

[Brat-san]

I am dissapointed in the lack of 8th Gen, and the majority of 6th gen, but I can honestly say, Koharu has me in love with her.

[SomethingWild]

Not impressed with the video. Black clothes on a black background is.. a blurr of blackishness. Could be the quality as mentioned earlier, but still.. 

Some of them look really good and mature, which is nice.

[genericpaperdoll]

I still love the song and I love the dance, so for that, PV wins. But since Ai and the 8th gen are all I really care about in MM now, the complete invisibility of Aika, Jun & Lin made the PV completely disappointing for me...

[jompuan]

[shadowstar]

Think about it, would you rather have a good video but a crappy song? I'd rather have the reverse, thanks, which is 'Resonant Blue' in this case  If the video was pretty good but I hated the song, I'd eventually not want to watch the video that much just because I wouldn't want to really hear the song...

I love it. I'll keep saying it again and again, 'Resonant Blue', video and song = AWESOME! 

[ferrar1]

song was great, very new, very fresh. I already can't get the chorus out of my head after 2-3 times.

PV was bad, it was more of 5 momusu + 4 back dancers, no good. So frustrated at UFA, ****.
