I asked a japanese friend what the japanese fans think of the show, and he says that he and the people he knows like it because it gives them a chance to see more natural behavior in the girls, and also they get information about places in town they didn't know about before. I don't know, maybe we look for entertainment and japanese fans look for a more down to earth image? Of course my friend can only speak for himself and the people he knows, but it makes me think about why we like or dislike this show :)

Hm..I don't mind the going around outside and learning about places...it's just in the old H!Ms they did it in a more entertaining way...it's like the exact same concept but with a different outcome..as for Japanese fans I'm sure a lot of them also preferred the old format since hm@ ratings aren't nearly as good as h!m ratings but who knows...

there are certain parts of each episode that I do enjoy...I just wish they would spice it up a little bit so the girls can have more fun.

I can see why japanese viewers would like the show for the "city guide" value and I like watching the girls interacting with other people as well (this is the very reason I still watch the show) but then 50% of the time they're hidden behind on screen messages and information panels, duh!
Another thing I like about the show is the music! Makes me want to put together a CD  ;D

Yossie looked alot more bored and absent minded then ever before.

You have to also take into account how the girls themselves see the show. I got this from the latest Kindai magazine interview, they ask about the new format, and Yossi says (sorry if there's some mistakes, translated with a translation software and a dictionary):
"The idea of Morning Musume  to jump on the street like that has not been done before. We meet the people on the street, and can feel things up close. It is interesting really."

well, it is interesting to see them walking around and interacting with people on the streets, i like the outdoors and seeing the sights and exploring things.  But the thing is their "orders" from their King is kinda lame.  find something better, more activities.
Also have more than one activities in one show. I know it's great seeing them all together, but sometimes split them up to have them do more.  When they're all together, they may seem to be having fun, but one won't have time to spend some time together with another one.
If they start splitting up, 2 or 3 in a group, they can do more missions in one show and also see how that specific group interact together as individuals.
Sometimes pair up the members that doesn't seem to have much interaction with each other when all of them are together. see how they act when they're together.
Or ask the fans who they want to see in a specific group. and take suggestions from fans about what they should do on the show(but i guess that's how it is already with fans can chat with them on HM@sns kingdom or whatever, do they actually take suggestions?).
Also, if when possible, since not all of them are from Tokyo, so it's nice to see them exploring the city, but how about going to different cities and do some sightseeing while they do their missions. maybe their hometowns or whatever.  I mean it's nice to see tokyo(since i've never been there), but i would also love to see some other places. In tokyo, maybe i want to see Akihabara, Shibuya, Harajuku and anywhere else. although i would understand if it's a security issue since all those places are jam packed with people. it might put the girls in danger, and we wouldn't want to see that. 

these are just some suggestions i want to put out.  i know there definitely some better suggestions out there. btw, i still want to ask, with the Haromoni@ and the thing where fans can chat with the members and probably the writers or producers, do they take suggestions from fans about how to improve the show and where do they want to see the girls next or what kind of missions can they do?  i have absolutely no idea, maybe i read somewhere before but i completely forgot now, so that's why i'm asking.

Everyweek is more and more enjoyable for me.  Boring start was alright when it's improving all the time. I pretty much enjoyed Koharu and Aika part.  Plus, it is more fun to have any kind of game or competition involved, but there must be food reward for the girls to add to the fun. ;)

One part soko ga shiritai one part hello morning, mix and fill into a 30 minute time slot.

I like the show for what it is and while I do miss good old hello morning parts (GEKIJOU! GAMES! the News or CM spots!) I gotta admit this is still appealing. I do think they have to stop picking on eri eventually though, I know she's funny but really eri needs to fight back more than just once... make sayu do something, or have reina take aika along...lol.

I like the koharu and aika thing still... it seemed fun to me.

I hope yossie gets something for her grad!

and I hope baby king gets better jobs for them....lol, or a better format... I mean its ok but how long can they keep having people forget things...lol.

i just watch the early episodes of HM@ with the subs provided by MM-BBS(thanks for the subs), and i heard they said Akachin, just wondering is Akachin supposed to be Mitsui Aika, or someone else? also Kameari is supposed to be Kamei Eri's new nickname now?

ooohhhh..... dude i feel so stupid.  haha...  but u know i thought it also meant red since i thought aka means red, like akagumi. 

btw, about the kameari thing,  i think it's a place isn't it?  i might be wrong there and i think i'm also wrong about it being Kamei Eri's nickname, but hey i thought it's just another way to say her name, u know.

You were close with the red but red is actually Akai in Japanese.  Kameari is the train station they went to.

Actually you are both right! The Aka in Akachan is red, and Aka is a way of saying red (a nominalization as it were) at times, Akai being the adjective form... it was surprising to me when I first learned that baby is basically red affectionate calling...lol

Still its all fun...lol

So sayu does better among birdbrains than with children...

Hey I nominate sayu to be the one who can be like...uh...those cliche princesses that have animals come to them when they sing...lol, I mean just look at the results...lol

while I am randomly nominating things, how bout we congratulate aika on her cuteness in haromoni by making the panda one of the zodiac!...lol.. or reina too...lol, gekijou reina panda! panda panda!

I liked todays episode, it was pretty fun... I must say. I find it kinda fun that they make like they have magical videogame storage powers... where the item of the day and the like just appear out of no where... it makes it cute... like reina with that microphone...lol.
Eri's funny cause she couldn't remember enough of what the explanation for chi was so she just asked everyone to come..lol, I'm guessing her being the cute messenger asking person is gonna be a pattern... even the text on the screen pointed out it was her again...lol

A nice episode indeed.  Haromoni@ is always improving and getting more and more interesting everyweek, mainly because there are things that I've never seen before or don't know about. :D
