Support them because "Morning Curry" is an awesome song!

And if people will buy the single, then more people will hear the b-side. Haha

It won't matter if they don't make #1 on Sunday. They've already won the weekly #1 spot. Go Momusu~!

They did it! 6 consecutive days at number 1!

The weekly number 1 spot is now certain. Now, the only unkown is the amount sold.

"Aruiteru" a message to bullied school children in Japan?

An article on the Barks website talks about bullying (ijime) and Aruiteru. Link is here.

I would be very interested in a translation of this article. The machine translation gives some clues as what is about, but it is not very readable.

School children being bullied is a big problem in Japan. See for example this article on guardian.co.uk.

^ Ill translate only from 4th paragraph because the 1st few paragraphs is just introduction on MM. The last paragraph are just some promotional lines. Note that the translation may not be 100% true to the original article, because this is how i interpreted the article.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

But at the same time, can't this song [Moving on] be a message for primary/secondary/college students who tries to run away from problems by comitting suicide?

Living on in this world is indeed difficult and tough, therefore people choose to give up on living and stop moving on. In many schools, you'll hear lots of cases of teenagers who choose to commit suicide due to horrendous/serious bullying from people around them.

*lyrics*
After hearing this particular line of lyrics from MM's latest single, it gives you the message that "Even in any desperate situations, tomorrow, the next day or in the future, you may meet a friend who will accompany you through bad times" Although the future is still unforeseen, there will definetely be someone who will accept you as who you are, and there will definetely be a bright future ahead of you. Being born in the same generation with current teenagers who tends to commit suicides over problems, MM on the other hand shows a good example and message through their own way of life and their song [Moving on]

We understand that troubled teenagers also exists in this BARKS' community built for music lovers, thus we would really like these teenagers to be able to listen to MM's new single.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmm all the paragraphs link up nicely to the last paragraph which calls out for people to buy their singles

I think its just a promotional gimmick by BARKS.

On the other hand, this single ranks 2nd in MM's discography for me just behind [I Wish] Because I like such MM songs that carries alot of meaning in their lyrics.

lol, I told everyone that japan is a sucker for lyrics like: "hitori ja nai kara" and thats one of the reasons that Aruiteru is a #1 lol. Good job, Momusu! #1 for 6 days. Hopefully it'll make the biggest sales of 2006 for H!P.

Exactly, it makes me enjoy the songs more knowing what they're about and even more so when they carry alot of meaning in their lyrics, like you say.

This just made me like Aruiteru so much more

I really think that even though Morning Musume's upbeat songs are usually very cool and great because you can actually dance with them, these more calm and meaningful songs are a very good thing every now and then. ^^
