I wouldn't really want any of those covers.... ^^;;;;

Honestly I won't be surprised if this single sells like crap...

i agree with shirenu.

the covers aren't so good, probably one of their worst (if not, the worst) covers for a single...it looks like they didn't spend much on them and decided to spend most of the money on the PV. i mean, i'm glad that it seemed like they had a bigger budget for the new PV, but it still didn't make me go "wow!" or anything.

their shoes for their costumes made me shudder...some of them have sexy garters on though, probably the only best thing about their costumes.

I haven't been jazzed by a single since "Iroppoi." One more strike...

Same here. Morover, their rank at Oricon's Ninki survey is their higher number since Iroppoi. Good feeling

Covers are probably the less important part. Furthermore, if CD sells would be attached to covers, AFOD would be still on shelves with lots of dust and The Stress would have the same luck. All that counts for Ambitious~ covers is that they are in bright yellow, which draws your attention by meters away even if you don't have any idea of what is it. I would not make a big deal of them.

I've been listening and while the song's okay, I REALLY REALLY REALLY detest the yellow outfits. The PV is a pain to watch coz the outfits are SOOOOO *excusemeforbeinghonest* UGLY!! >_<

Me ga itai... :kcrazy:

I actually like the yellow outfits.

The shoes they use on the single cover and stuff sucks ass though. But the shoes they wear on the PV and live perfs are pretty hot. >_>

there was a person that went to the popjam dx recording..and they said they'll be wearing silver outfits.

can't wait!

anyways,

I've been listening to ambitious alot lately, it took me a while to realize this, but this song has probably one of the best arrangements I've heard from a H!P song in a long time. It's very unique from almost anything released in H!P and hasn't been getting the credit I think it deserves, even from me. It's very full and isn't just a silly loop played over and over again. I thought that the verses were sorta empty at first, but there are some really nice little things added in them that you won't really hear unless you play really close attention to it. The vocals accompany the music perfectly. This is probably their best song since irojire and it sounds like there was alot of time and thought spent on it. I sorta wish that they would've done the same for the PV. :/

The c/w track isn't bad, it's really anything I could expect. It's cute though.

Morning Musume's AMBITIOUS~ debuts at Daily #3!

Ninky polls also guessed a Weekly #3 (and also the highest sells since IJ), and unless Mai-K gives us a surprise, I say we'll be Weekly 3 indeed. As we could expect, Ayu's #1 and TOKYO's #2.

01. Ayumi Hamasaki
02. TOKIO
03. Morning Musume
04. PIERROT
05. Mai-K
06. Yui for Kaoru Amane
07. LEAD
08. TVXQ
09. (??)
10. Hitomi Shimatani

good achievement considering the competition.
BTW, what's on the extra DVD from the first press? something about live performances or something?

That's cheap, cutting out the interlude just like that.
