Chisato sounds so AWESOME!!! I was wondering when we'd get to hear her 'diva' voice

And is that seriously Nakajima?? I thought she had a cute duck voice but couldn't sing, but now in JUMP she sounds like... Whoa, what happened?

(In a good way)

Poor Airi really, she was like the 'miracle kid' vocally, but her singing hasn't really developed since Aa! (well, I'm not qualified to tell, but I can't hear a huge difference) so the other kids who were worse at first are kind of passing her when they develop

Not necessarily by becoming better than her, but by being able to improve in the first place, so fans can be like "whoa, she must have been working hard" or something. And yeah Airi can sound whiny, there was a time when I couldn't listen to Ookina ai de a lot because Airi's voice would make my ears hurt (but then I got used to it I guess). But I think her voice would do better in other type of songs. (Maybe lower songs?? Ookina is like mad high, the beginning of the chorus)

Hm, I prefer the preceding ones, this song is too repetitive...
(and what the heel are this flying cups o_o )

I prefer the JUMP to Sakura Chirari, It is more reasonable distribution of the lyrics 。
Said Airi,I think the Company was terribly failure.Airi has the excellent voice,but the Company didn't pay attention to her and develop her With a better way.Even so I still believe Airi is the best

I still prefer "Sakura Chirari", but "JUMP" is still a great song!

Just the fact that it's the b-side makes the whole single pure win for me. I'm glad that the group's first official single turned out to be a really good one.

The video could have been a lot better, but this is C-ute we're talking about, I doubt UFA will start shelling out a lot money for this group just yet. Besides, I think the song saves it from being totally 'bad'.

OMG... Why couldn't this have been the a-side? I love Sakura Chirari and all.. but this song kicks ass... and Chisato man! OMG this girl needs to do more shit with Miki! She got the voice! At their concert, she should sing Romantic Ukare Mode. That would kick ass!

Wow, the leads were actually live for their Oha Star performance. Of course the younger ones weren't again, but still. Live = win

I think Ume, Maimi, Airi, and Kanna were all live... I couldn't telling with anyone else, but during the chorus, I heard A LOT of Kanna

Erika's also dyed her hair, it looks lovely

I mostly just heard a lot of Airi during the chorus, she always tends to drown the others out

^ Erika dyed her hair?? What colour is it now?

sousora · « **Reply #209 on:** February 12, 2007, 02:50:57 PM »

Just a dark brown/reddish colour. Not so drastic, but when she has a close up you can see it. It's more visible in the HQ version of the clip.

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #210 on:** February 12, 2007, 02:59:36 PM »

^ Oohh, that sounds pretty actually

Gotta see this now!

where can i download the live(Ohastar)?

Blu-Cherri · « **Reply #212 on:** February 12, 2007, 03:22:10 PM »

It definately sounded live to me!
I couldn't tell with the younger ones as they sang together, but Airi's mic was louder than everyone else's. Like when she sang with Maimi you could hardly hear Maimi. And at the end when they sang one half then anohter half, Airi's half was louder cuz she was louder...strange.
Still maybe that's why their dance is kinda simple, so that they could sing it live??

Koolmon93 · « **Reply #213 on:** February 12, 2007, 07:56:02 PM »

Ok, only Erika, Maimi, and Airi were live. The rest weren't. How do I know? Well Look at mics! If they have a round thing to the side, then they're real. If not, they're fake mics. And If you look closely, the real mics have a wire that goes down their backs. The fake ones don't.

Ok here's some pics.

These are the only real mics as shown by the round thingys to the side.

Here is the wire thing on the back. (Look at Erika) You can see it on Maimi too in the video.

Real

Fake

^ That's a nice close-up of Erika!

I wonder why only some of the girls sang live... Wouldn't that make it sound weird?

Koolmon93 · « **Reply #215 on:** February 12, 2007, 08:56:36 PM »

Well, it happens a lot in Morning Musume! Look at the Bokura ga Ikiru MY ASIA and Egao YES Nude perfs.

Kyobu · « **Reply #216 on:** February 12, 2007, 09:01:25 PM »

Hah, they could at least give them the same microphones and just turn them off or something

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #217 on:** February 12, 2007, 09:22:28 PM »

That's just so funny to me

LOL Kind of makes me wonder now if the girls who don't get to sing live have their vocals toyed with on the CD's...

Koolmon93 · « **Reply #218 on:** February 12, 2007, 09:33:50 PM »

Well, if you notice the Wonderful Hearts concert, then you'll see what I'm talking about. They give the real mic to the person who's basically doing all the talking/screaming to the crowd. And I think it would be too much of a hassle since they probably don't have enough headsets for everyone. That's why they use the handsets or fake mics to lipsynch. But for some reason, in this particular live, you can hear the CD better than the live vocals.

After all,this is their first Oha Star performance,they still want to perfect.So can understand.
