[10/10] Morning Musume 51st single [Wakuteka Take a Chance]

[Rina the Robot]

Quick, let's start taking bets on whether Reina and Masaki will have a song together

I'm a prophet totally ahead of my time 

Can't wait to hear the Ishida-Fukuchan song!

I have mixed feelings about those outfits. It's like I like them and don't like them at the same time. Maybe when the music video comes out I'll have a more solid take on them.

For the most part I don't mind the outfits (though the amount of padding is pretty silly), but those shoes...! I mean, look at Ayumi's feet on the Limited D cover -- they look like stumps!

[riOtkittin]

The shoes are really odd, and I do feel sorry for Eripon and her hairstyling. It looks ... plain bad.

(I wish the had more "normal" clothes and not wierd tsunku-costumes, I know its kind of the momosu look with the somewhat crazy costumes, but once in a while it would be nice with them in less crazy costumes.
Like the costumes for Maji desu ka ska, those were nice. But that's just an sidenote. )

[elgie]

Tannnnngo! I like it.
The Ishida - Mizuki song is cute and they both sound quite good. The covers are the big turn off in this case, most of them are hideously photoshopped.

Shin'en dake wa tsuranu kitose!

[shirenuファクトリー]

OH ERIPON I LAUGHED OUT LOUD. I LOVE YOU GIRL.

Nothing more than dance+closeups aka usual H!P pv, but kinda already expected judging by the type of song WTaC is

Also, Masaki unexpectedly gets as much screentime as Reina & Riho, second only to Sayu? More than Haruka even...that's unusual

[J-Triumf]

Whoa, so flashy and glitzy with all the light streaks and flame effects...and yet it's still the "temporary" version??? Well, considering Daishi is absent from the dance scenes due to her injury, I wonder if this means they'll have her moving and grooving at full speed in the "final" version and official dance shot (it'd be a shame if she weren't, considering she's one of the better dancers in the group).

I think I like it more than the "One Two Three" video so far. The effects can still be distracting at times but fit better with the set and color schemes...plus no threat of Haruna beating up the curtains this time.

[shirenuファクトリー]

lol at Masakiss in the still for the MV So cute... (Btw, she stands out quite a bit in this MV)

The MV's got some cool things going I still think some of the effects are quite cheap looking, but I just don't pay attention to them.

It's funny with the fiery silhouettes, you can definitely tell a woman (Sayumi) from a kid (Riho)...

They chose some awkward bits of the choreography to feature in this video though... Or maybe they just are awkward because they are awkward dancers still, especially with Daishi missing from the dance shot.

I was thinking Kudo's not getting that much screentime, but towards the end (4:06ish) there's that bit where she glances off camera for a bit and then looks back... It was one of the most memorable shots to me after my first view, so good job >_<

Ah need to watch this again later...

[oaxiac]

Yesshhh! Masaki's expressions are the best!

I think at the time of filming Kudo & Ishida are still nursing their foot injuries

Gyyaaaah!
Love the PV-version. Everybody looks good, and eripon looks like she can't hold her face straight in the shots. Like she's gonnna burst out in laughter any second. Maybe because of her hair. =D
Everybody looks so good in this. I love Reinas haircut and Masakis little mischeouvous smile. The effects was a bitt annoying, but the PV looks cool and not that cheaply. The parts with the lighttable and the standing lights is faboulous. This PV stands out for the right reasons. It's a pity they didn't use the kind of lighteffects on the single covers because that would have been sooo cool.
I love this new Morning Musume <3<3<3<3<3

[TommyVD]

Utterly stunning



Love it.

No, it isn't... she's the exact type of girl to become popular in the future: high-pitched, spazz-headed and with a lot of learning potential.

Love the PV, temporary though it is. The light table is genius! The fire part clashes with the general appearance but on the other hand is a good contrast when the guitars enter. It would be a nice effect if they get to blend it better with the rest of the footage.
And, I love that they incorporated the sidestep dance shot in the bridge. It's my absolute favorite part of the choreography

Now they only need add extra angles in the dance shot footage and the PV will be perfect (This is temporary and they shot a new version and with Ayumi and Haruka recovered I suppose they just redid that part, so one can only hope )
