[02/10] Morning Musume 42th Single [Onna ga Medatte naze Ikenai]

[Slack]

Talk was about what I expected, but I was happy to see Junjun and Linlin stick up for themselves a bit.  Like the last screen before the perf said, they are the MVPs of the current group.

And yes, OMG ITS ORANGE.
Probably more distracting than that giant octopus from the Sexy Boy perf a few years ago.

Another PV versions are on youtube:

Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai (Close-up Ver.):


Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai (Dance-shot Ver.):


Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai (Make-up Ver.):


The make-up version is the best. Sayu, Gaki, Ai and LinLin are just awesome

[Estrea]

I agree that the make-up version is the best. Gaki looks great. o_o Ai is smiling at all the wrong times. I wonder what's making her so amused. Can't wait to see the making of. Hehe.

Nice camera angles for the dance shot, though blinding spotlights kinda kill it. Lol.

The make up version is interesting ...!! like while they singing and someone smears lipstick by accident - at least it's fresh?

can't wait to see the making, i'd be laughing my ass off.

here's the single:

Am i the only one that feels a Neptunes kinda vibe with the B-Side Nakidasu kamo shirenaiyo? Were they sampled or smth?

[jafeijai]

^ I know what you mean; I was rather surprised when the intro started. I was thinking maybe you had snuck in a song and just renamed it.

[Saburo]

Leeched the file, arigato Comrade.

Will give it a chance later when I get home...

Just watched them all. I think I like the close-up version the best, followed very closely by the make-up version. Not a fan of the dance (or the huge red boots).
The reason I like the close-up best is because they look hot. I know that when you put on make-up, you're generally looking in the mirror but for a PV, it's weird. But it was interesting so I didn't hate it. But the dance...oh the dance...no. I'm just not feeling it. And I LOVE the little white boots they wear in the promotion pics. Though they would be suicidal to dance in, so I do understand why those huge red ones are used in the PV.
I guess I'll be buying this soon.

It's official: the single has placed #5 on Oricon for its debut week, starting strong but selling just a few hundred units short of "Kimagure Princess". The competition was a lot tougher this time, though...KAT-TUN's appearance on the chart reminded me of Larry Bird at the 3 point contest, just stepping into the locker room and asking "who's playing for second place?" They just made everyone look bad.

At the very least, the string of top 5 finishes for MM still continues, and with all the promotion going on it'll be interesting to see how long this one lasts on the charts.

I don't know about Neptunes...I did mention before how I was expecting to hear JR Rotem's trademark intro, though. But maybe the Neptunes should produce the next single! One man can dream...

[tat2330]

it's common for JE groups to debut at #1, well the difference is huge between kat-tun and no.2

PR on Sanma no Manma:





Jun/Lin dominating the talk.  And remember, "uma" = "MAAA"

[JFC]

^
You see that Utaban staff? Now THAT is how you do an interesting interview that draws your guests out of their proverbial shells.

[Scramasax]

^ agreed.  Too bad it doesn't seem like he has many musical guests or it would be great for them to go back on that show again.  I'm surprised he didn't give more attention to Aichan.  I figure he would have been more used to her.

[JFC]

Dammit, I keep watching the "Uma wa? Uma wa? MAAAAAA!" parts over and over again.
