[09/24] Morning Musume 37th single "Pepper Keibu" (Pink Lady cover) *PV P.7

[wakaba_doll]

At first I was kind of wtf? but after hearing the original & GO!GO!7188's version (which IS all kinds of awesome), I am excited for this. Not to mention those outfits win.

Morning Musume are on an Aku Yu high Including a tribute album in November... At first I didn't know whether to be stoked about it or not but after thinking about it, I can't wait to see what they did with it all.

I wish Tsunku/UFA have a good, ingenious plan behind all of this. 
and hope for a better line distributions with this single.  I wonder what tsunku/UFA was thinking, though, u know... guess we normal beings can't comprehend what goes on in that man's mind.

Ai-chan would most likely get a lead, u know, and Risa, too. Since both of them sang it together on that TV special.   I hope I get to hear more of Eririn, and a equal line distribution among the members if that's likely. 
IMO, I dunno koharu is in anyway, anyhow, fit for this single. but she'd make a good eye candy as a dancer and possibly back-up vocals.  COME ON, THE OTHER GIRLS NEEDS TO SHINE, TOO! U KNOW! doesn't have to be solos line, maybe duets, but more lines and more vocals from the members.  maybe, i dunno, but I think linlin voice would probably fits the song.

[Sukoshi]

UGh! cover a side and b side?!  I want something new....

[KrO.Chan~]

I'll like than Gaki have more lines in this single, cause her voice is so pretty *-*, and she sounds so good in all kind of songs
the b-side is called "Romance"

A cover this time, huh O_o well since I don't even know the original so for me this is a new song anyways, lol =p

I just hope they rearrange it to make it interesting enough, If it has been covered a lot by other artist they'll need something extra special to draw attention.

Morning Musume to cover "Pepper Keibu" and other Yu Aku songs

It has been officially announced that Morning Musume's next single will be a cover of the Pink Lady hit "Pepper Keibu." The decision stemmed from Ai Takahashi and Risa Niigaki's appearance in NTV's biographical drama special "Hit Maker: Yu Aku Monogatari," in which they played the popular '70s duo.

The "Pepper Keibu" cover goes on sale September 24. The new version is said to be more danceable than the original, and the music video will feature all nine Morning Musume members dancing in Pink Lady outfits. The coupling song for "Pepper Keibu" will be a cover of another song written by Yu Aku - Hiromi Iwasaki's 1975 hit "Romance."

Then on November 26, the group will release a Yu Aku tribute album called "COVER YOU," supervised by Hiroshi Itsuki, who joined Up-Front Agency earlier this year. The album includes a cover of "Izakaya," originally a duet between Itsuki and Nana Kinomi, but this time Itsuki will be paired up with Ai Takahashi instead.

Coverz

[aKaoNi]

^ Coverz for the cover!

[ferrar1]

wow reina is the odd one out

[PerfectxPurple08]

Those covers are hot!!! 100%

[lollipopgirl]

Wow, I couldn't even recognise TakaGaki for a while and it took me forever to see Eri
I will be extremely shocked if this isn't a Reina lead considering she is basically the focus for all of them
I do love all the covers though, just wish LE-A's was actually the B version but whatever
Sayu

[AmberSan]

The order of the covers btw:
Limited A->Limited B->Normal ...

[SomethingWild]

Yay for Reina lead. probably.

Sayu looks great in the covers. Kamei and Linlin look so much a like because of their hair 

[kingthaking81]

the girls look awesome, but the star lay-out concept is taken too literaly . the pairings are ok on 1 cover , but not on every one of them....the center one should be all of them standing in one row. sigh, the graphic designer in me is speaking once more.
can't wait for the single and cover album, tho!!

[Ahiko]

Wow Eri Looks the BEST! Love tht Hairstyle! Covers are awesome, but why is Raina in the middle i hope it meanot that she will have the biggest Lead!

[shadowstar]

I don't know about anyone else, but I think the covers are great!

[mode107]

The covers look nice. I didn't rocognize Risa a first

[wakaba_doll]

The covers are love.    Though where are the skanky blue-green outfits from the newspaper article? Those silver ones kind of remind me of 'Mikan' PV outfits...

[PerfectxPurple08]

Risa, Eri, and Jun Jun looks different in the covers.
