Thanks for the translation! I wonder where that blog should be able to actually read?
And I'm glad also here in Soompi is some Momusu fans!

Morning Musume has a new single called "Resonant Blue" coming out April 16!!!!!

it's supposed to be a mature and cool new song along the lines of "Egao Yes Nude"

Momusu in a new musical with Takarazuka group, New H!P soloist Mano Erina, new tv show Beri Kyuu and new H!P unit Milky Way!!!

Yay! Lotsa new stuff from Hello! Project!
Im mostly excited about the Cinderella the Musical. Im sure it'll be good since they're working with Takarazuka again. However, Momusu dont have that many strong vocals now that Miki left and they cant use Yossie's boy-ish personality anymore. Im still looking forward to it though!

ah they'll all rise to the occasion we can only hope!

i'm really disappointed by Resonant Blue..with both the song and the PV. could they be any cheaper? personal bias but the PV had way too much koharu..as usual. they didn't give the other members enough shots. Ai chan is the leader so her closeups are understandable and I personally think that Reina is the next one with most star quality so she's ok too. but koharu...why =.= despite bias, bad song and cheap PV it would've still been nice to be able to see the other girls. reading the comments on hello-project.org it looks like a lot of people share the same opinion. this comment is my favourite::



it's like ever since he got married tsunku's efforts and talent have been slowly going down the drain.

actually, there will be 4 versions of the Video. this is just one of them.

to be honest and real, MM has always had an ace trio.

^4 versions? Hopefully the remaining 3 versions would show more of the other members.

I am disappointed with the PV too. I barely saw JunJun, LinLin, & Aika. Felt sorry for Eri since she danced the best in the PV. Only saw Sayu when she said her "Help me!" line. Risa should've gotten more screentime too, she looked pretty and smiling and dancing well along with Eri.
I wont complain about the 3 front members since they seem to already got enough criticism from other fans.

I like the song, it's really catchy and definitely a step-up from Mikan. However, I've noticed that since Yossie's graduation and Miki's resignation, the unequal distribution of song lines had been more obvious. I know Momusu's always been like this, strong vocals get to sing more, but atleast I was able to hear 1 or 2 lines from the others. But in the new Momusu, it's more evident. Im expecting higher sales for Resonant Blue though. I hope Momusu can regain their glory this year

One week from today.

I don't know why there is so much negative press about RB? I mean the song is awesome, I have it on repeat ever since I heard it. The dancing's great (OMG GakiKame ) and well, the aces all look hawt.

My only complaint is that the PV's too dark so I can't see most of the girls clearly

Oh, and Sayu did great in her only close-up.

Really, there are 4 versions? Wow, I can't wait to see them. I had hoped for individual PVs of all the girls with 2 DVD Limted Edition singles. But I guess a good live perf would make up for it.

Music Station, invite MM already They deserve it!

Limited A comes with "Another Version" and Limited B comes with "Lesson Studio Version"
So I'm guessing there are only 2 versions of the PV.
Original that has been released and the another version that comes with the Ltd.A.
Video that comes with Ltd.B is probably just footage of them practicing the dance/song.

Hmm, is it just me or is JunJun losing weight? Yay. xp

I'm a bit disappointed with the PV too. All the members were dancing really well and looking all cheery, but it was so clear that the focus was supposed to be on Koharu, Reina, and Ai with their white shirts. lol

Wonderful Hearts 2008 performance - "Everyday Everywhere" - Ai & Reina

RB covers

i ordered the regular and limited A

so excited

New GAKIKAME Art. This is the best episode yet! Both the girls were ultra cute in it
http://youtube.com/watch?v=FurGBUSqo8M

Outtakes, needless to say, it was hilarious and cute
http://youtube.com/watch?v=T4CrVhqBDn0

Someone should get them to act in a drama already. I would kill to see a movie or drama starring one/ a few of the MM girls. I'm positive they can do well in in.

On a side note, is anyone going for that Taiwan concert in May?

MMMM Art this week with Risa and Eri was hilarious

and wow! Koharu can speak soooo fast

in other news, Yoko of Kanjani8 always karaoke to Morning Musume's LOVE MACHINE song. and Takahiro from EXILE karaoke's to Renai Revolution 21 with the handmotions. LOL.

wow, these girls never cease to amaze me
im over them
but reina and koharu still so pretty D:

edit:
thnx for the pics btw :]

it has just been announced that:

Morning Musume will have a Tour in Korea on June 1, 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.mydaily.co.kr/news/read.html?ne...1147&ext=na

how about them coming to seattle??

they look so cute in those lolita outfits! eri watch out .... junjun is rising up the ranks to becoming my favorite member lol

JunJun, Reina, Eri & Sayumi looked the best in lolita! XD

MORNING MUSUME 10TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT TOUR IN KOREA



info from hello-online.org

it'd be cute if snsd were guest performers!

i was wondering but when is MAKO CHAN coming back to H!P

she left for like 7 months!?!?!

i wonder what she well do when she comes back

but i think they might put her in Ongaku Gatas>cause of Yossie san

she's been gone for about a year and 7 months. LOL. it's not quite certain when she's coming back. but there have been pictures of her in New Zealand so she's doing fine and looks great too!

and rest assured, she's still on the H!P website. This year, Maki Goto (into the company that owns Hello!Project), Miki Fujimoto (into H!P), and Ai Kago (to show business) have all made comebacks so far this year. i won't be surprised if Makoto will be coming back soon too!

I also think she should come back to Ongaku Gatas too.

yeah i miss hear dearly i have to say my fav generation so far has to be the 15 members gen.


people should post mako chans photo in new zealand ^______________^

it's about time someone started another one hahahahaha
aika is really cute
and
sayumi is adorable



but seriously i don't really like their newest pv
i wish that they'll give lines to the other members too
sometime i get tired of hearing reina's and ai's voice
but don't bash on me
oh and hope they come out with another pv version of that song
the song is nice but i don't like the pv
too dark i can't see who's who
only risa, koharu, aika, ai, eri, and reina

there's an alternate version of the PV coming out around the 16th of April.

i hope they continue to give more lines to the other members too. but i guess since it's only one single they were just experimenting. the other members have many lines on the b-side, so i guess that's good too.





alex68812 my favorite generation of Morning Musume is the current generation. I LOVE 9nin Musume and i really have liked their style over the past year. They're my favorite lineup since 15/14nin.

news said kago ai lives in new york now ^___^





*plus Mako Chan in New Zealand






^^^she looks so smexy with long hair now^^^




COME BACK MAKO CHAN WE MISS YOU!!!!

LINK TO MORNING MUSUME'S RESONANT BLUE (ANOTHER VERSION) PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFAwgXhGU2k

i like the newest pv the studio version and the other pv
hahahaha
koharu looks pretty being interview
her with her hair down and her hair curled
PRETTY ^^
and looking at those lolita pictures of momusu
i think reina looks the best in it ^^

oh by the way
isn't mari and kei still in HP???

^ Yep, Mari and Kei are still in H!P. In fact they perform during the Elder Club concerts.

I love the another version. Next is the studio version. Mainly cuz Gaki-san looked great in them

Besides MM's concert in Taiwan, they have another in Korea on June 1st and Shanghai June 28th. Does anyone know how the sales in Korea are? I hope they do better there than in Taiwan where it's really disappointing.

Some pics where you just go "Wow...." without being able to say anything.

MM Talk for Resonant Blue on Music Fighter!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tndj-1x1s64
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AezBLWWGf1k

It was hilarious and Sayumi stole the show. A great watch even if you can't understand Japanese.

After seeing the Music Fighter appearance, my official current Momusu members are Niigaki & JunJun!

Sayu owned the Music Fighter appearance haha

Hey Rikku, maybe you can update the first post with their RB photos?
Mikan is long gone >_<


Here are some PB scans from the already released PBs for this year. (click for larger images)
Aichan's will be released next month and assuming other members' there after.

GAKI (cr:gordie)


KAME (cr:Pharadox/Vegalor7)


REI (cr:Miichan and Fumichan)


I'm not a big fan of their bikini pics, so I decided to only post one from each.

Haromoni@

^ You totally posted the best 3 PBs from the year But they were also the best PBs from each of the girls. HAPPY GIRL was awesome. ERI and Return are a must have for any fan since they were both great compilation PBs.

Some Uta Doki episodes

Watch out for Eri doing random cute things while Gaki-san is singing. The ending was the best bit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FAXgIrHw7o

Eri and Risa talk (subbed). These 2 share great chemistry together
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyir-bXdx08

Ai-chan singing. You can only expect the best singing from Lii-dar

Tonight is MM's concert in Korea!!! Is anyone going? Have loads of fun and tell us all about it after you are done fangirling / fanboying

I went to the Taiwan concert and it was amazing! I would have gone for the Korea one if I knew how to speak Korean. Does anyone know how to buy the fan made glowsticks and towels of the girls? They all look beautiful, I really want them too. Korean fans are very creative and artistic

20 min GakiKame Uta Doki talk. This is worth seeing as the girls were really funny and cute

http://www.veoh.com/videos/v6981073RsYaghJ...3331&rank=9

wow..wish the'll make great concert in korea
i haven't seen momusu for a while..
their new photobook are awesome..

Some Aichan pb scans (2008.05.23)


HM@ 06/01/08

hey! i'm a new fan, and just wanted to say they're great =P i never knew they had so many members and that their debut was over 10 years ago...

there's a video on them in korean news
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAQSuULHiu0
not sure but i think they were comparing stars. i hear a few members of so nyuh shi dae were at the concert on june 1st?

EDIT: i just found this video on youtube, i know it's old but omg! mari was slapped! that totally surprised me =(
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN0YUYU-NUM...feature=related

MAKO CHAN CAME BACK TO H!P
i'm so happy she cameback on June 6 2008
i'm so happy after 2 something years shes back
with long hair and she lost a lot of weight

^ comeback on haromoni

edit:
lol in her comeback she said she wants to work harder and beat
satado mai<3
i'm happy for her.

also since Ongaku Gatas lost 2 member
i hope tsunka adds her to ongaku gatas
and let them release a single by
mid-end or june<3333333

Im so glad she came back too!!! Now 5th gen is complete!!
Isnt she a member of Metro Rabbits HP already? Unless she joins Gatas Brilhantes too, then I guess Tsunku can put her in Ongaku Gatas.

I'm so glad mako came back
the only words she said one H@ was "im so sorry" xD


anyways i was wondering
is there a berryz or c-ute or just general H!P thread in this forum

= =

A morning musume thread? I have to post here! And I will bring Reina with me.

so hard to find haromoni eps! does anyone use Hello!Tracker? cause so many things uploaded makes it so hard to find..
i wonder if anyone does any subs on them too? i recently saw the 5th generation versus the 6th generation battle episode and it was funny without subs =P

has anyone seen last week's haromoni@? for the previews for this week, JunJun was crying! i'm about to watch this week's haromoni@ and find out... i hope it wasn't anything between the members..

and the poster for musume's musical CINDERELLA! was posted in the Hello!Online site.
lol Gaki&Takahashi as cinderella and the prince
