Ranking post o/ This is a ranking based on the songs, and not anything else because not all of them have Music videos, but I will still talk about the songs videos if they had them =D EDIT: I forgot Waratte YOU! It would have been in the top 10. 20. Janus - Boyfriend
A really catchy tune. Beside the flawless Girls Generation, Boyfriend are basically the only group that I still stalk on a daily basis. The MV is kind of cool...but are the crotch grabs necessary? They can even make a fan girl feel awkward LOL. 19. What's Up? Ai wa dou na no yo~ - Morning Musume
I was really sad when they removed Sayu/Fukuchan's bits during the rap parts =( They were my favourite part of the song! 13 Colourful was a great album =) 18. Egao ni Namida - Thank you dear my friends - Niigaki Risa
I think this sort of song really suits Gaki's voice, just as jazz music would. It's the sort of song I sing when I'm walking to school. 17. Wakuteka Take a chance - Morning Musume
(Lol perhaps I edited this screen cap a little too much XD) Earlier in the year I would have put this higher, but I still like it quite a lot. The dance is fun. I liked the first version of the MV better. I somehow prefer the verses to the chorus. 16. One Two Three - Morning Musume
I liked one two three less than most people I'd say, but still quite a lot. I absolutely hate the MV, and the dance shot was enough for me. Eripon still had her colour as purple then *sighs* 15. Mouretsu Uchuu Koukyoukyoku Dainana Gakushou "Mugen no Ai" - Momoiro Clover Z
What a year for Momoclo! I'd say that all of their songs have been a real success, but this is definitely my favourite. This is one of two songs I'd describe as the most 'epic'. I love the way the green screen in the MV is used. 14. Kanojo ni Naritai!! - Hello pro Kenshuusei This song! I sing this so often you don't understand. It's the catchiest song of the year for me, and Aina! Aina! ♥ 13. Aisaretai no ni - Kyuukies I just really like this song. LOL. 12. Spring of life - Perfume
This song stays fresh! I really can't say anymore. It's somehow different to your normal Perfume song, however very much the same. 11. Uza - AKB48
This is the other Epic song o/ It sounds like it would sell well if a western artist had done a version of it. 10. Watashi no Jidai - Morning Musume
A feel good song, although it makes Sayu and Reina sound old when they're really not 9. Loving You Too Much - Berry Koubou
Berryz are such a stable group for me. I like most of their songs quite a lot. (A major exception is 'WANT!') I hope sales go up for them. They will probably disband in the next 3 years, although of course I hope not. 8. Renai Hunter and Pyoco Pyoco Ultra - Morning Musume
RH: I hate the crab dance. The dance shot it self is quite cool, as well as the MV (Aika ♥) except I like the song infinitely more than the MV. I don't think I've watched it in ages until now because I have all of Aika's scenes from GIFs on Tumblr. Haha.
PPU: Gosh, so many people hated the outfits but AS IF Momusu haven't done it before as you can see here, Don't act like Momusu haven't pulled the silly card before! Pyoco Pyoco Ultra - Morning Musume 7. Aishiteraburu
Sorry for so many screen shots, BUT IT'S PERFECT!
I SCREAAAAAAAAAAAAAM This song out. Everyone looks flawless in the MV omg Shiorin, Akane, Anna, Kuumin, W Matsui....BEST MV OF 2012 6. Flower Power
omg. my bby. Also, GUESS WHO SINGS FIRST? It sounds like the say 'Cauliflower' a lot too btw. 5. Love Style - Boyfriend
This is the sort of style and song that suits boyfriend the most, none of this cover their face eyeliner shit. They re cute! <3 Donghyun gets the solo bit in the middle. Just sayin'. 4. Be Genki Naseba Naru - Berryz Koubou
This was such a win of a single! Ignoring Momo's horrendous hair, it's how Idols singles should be, cheap and cute. The dance shot has such a good location =D 3. Aitai Aitai Aitai na - C-ute
Such a fantastic single! I didn't like Kanashiki Heaven as much as most people, but still woah. The dance is sloppy, which is annoyingly distracting, but that doesn't take away its awesomeness. Kimi wa Jitensha is a good song too, and I liked it waaaay more than most slow ballads. I dislike ballads greatly. 2. Paparazzi - SNSD
TIFFANY. Since I like mainstream English pop music, I think that's pretty much the reason I like SNSD. Songs that are easy to dance to ♥
1. The Matenrou show - Morning Musume I can't think of an appropriate image so [Insert Idol of your choice here] =) I can't even talk about why I like this song anymore, I just love it too much for words. The chorus makes me really happy for some reason. No Kikka this year =o I really liked all of her singles, but I mostly think because they were Kikka. Here's hoping she releases another song that I really love in 2013! Wishing you all a good 2013!
I can't believe I'm blogging about this because, I don't even think I bothered to blog about Aika graduation because it was so close to Gaki's...plus I annoyed Twitter enough with Aika Spam at the time.
THE LINE QUEEN OF MORNING MUSUME IS GRADUATING! KYAHHHHHHH! Reina, and Aichan come to mind if you think of who had a lot of lines during their reign, but seriously, Reina hasn't even been leader yet. Scary stuff.
SAYU TIME!
(Isn't it funny how the first picture I see saved on my computer has all of the solo graduations at the front, and group ones together at the back? lol.)
The Loli queen of all things cute and underage Michishigay Sayumi will replace the queen of bows, leather jackets and freaking coolness. Well...she sort of already is leader and Reina hasn't been...but still! Maybe she'll get lines! Not autotuned lines and be in the centre even more! It makes me hope that there will be 2/3 new girls who take the centre along with Riho. Maybe Fukuchan, Eripon and Ayumi =3
Reading back on this, It sounds like I wont miss Reina at all. Wrong! As you can see here, I love Reina deeply and she's my third favourite member atm. Anyway, Reina's still going to be active! Yay!
They look reaaaaally cool, and most people say they want them to be like SCANDAL which I definitely want to see happen. Marina looks like Jessica from the picture, Reina looks cool, Yuko looks just plain awesome, and Marin looks like she'd fit into and any48 group really well =D I have high hopes for sure!
We've still got a while, so lets appreciate Reina in Morning Musume for the next single or two that we have both of them for! <3
Cutting to the point, Tiffany (@Sarutokky), My cousin, and I got to the Hard Rock Cafe at 12.pm =D Tiffany had picked us up from the station. She bought me pain au chocolat which I called a chocolate croissant which my cousin mocked me for ;_; In line, we saw @MiniMico =D
(Lulz Kawaii <3)
Her voice was so cute, so I thought it was funny that she called a security guard man a douche for telling her to put down her umbrella. My for sign Kikka and Momusu <3
"Kikkawa yuu, Konna atashi de yokattara"
"Morning Musume ga daisuki desu! PonPon!"
We were in line for 3 hours, so when a waiter told me that people had been in line since 4.am I was amazed. That would have been ages. There were only about 70 people there when I had got there, but the line greatly increased in the next 3 hours. They must have made like 5000 euros if it was 25 per person. There was singing, dancing, wotachanting etc so much going on.
Good costume efforts! It was awkward asking for a picture because like EVERYONE was french. 90% of people. I kind of thought there would be more non french fans tbh.
SUDDENLY THINGS GOT SERIOUS.
THIS MAN OMG. This bouncer guy gave me the meanest look ever while getting my camera out. They were clearing a space for the girls to arrive. There was also a another scary guy while I was in the queue inside. (The guy next to him that's not bald). He got mad at me for walking forward and then rambled at me in french D=
THE CAR APPEARED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111112345678
SAYUMIIII <3
HARUNA!!!!!!!!
KIKKA SAMA WAS SO CLOSE OMFG THE FEELSSSS ASDHJKL
After so much screaming everyone went inside and lined up, momusu were being played on the monitor and people sang happy birthday to Fukuchan, so the people in the cafe were surprised. We were upstairs on a balcony thing if that makes sense XD It was sang outside a lot too.
We could see the girls suddenly =DDDDD
Handshake event
We went into a room where the handshake event finally began =D This was after we'd bought CDs etc.. and a lot of stuff had happened. There was a box were you could put gifts, so I put my sign in. I had no use for it, so I thought why not!
Jfc I was next to the box while my cousin got this picture before the man said no photos were allowed. Thank god we got it *_____*
Ayumi
Ayumi was reaaaaally robotic when she spoke to me. She had the warmest hands of all of them, and the softest. She didn't really smile but concentrated on saying 'Bonjoooooooouur' to me. I found it really strange to see them wearing make up, like a noticeable amount because they were younger. Anyway, after she said 'Bonjour' I stared at her like 'IS THIS HAPPENING' and it was awkward, but i wouldn't say a terrible experience.
Haruna
Haruna was so nice. Our conversation went like this:
"Honey daisuki desu!"
"Arigatou gozaimasu!"
Then I freaked out again and let go of her hand. It was so amazing how they sort of held your hand really firmly. This went much slower then the Thailand event. It felt like 1000years with them. /crazed fangirl. I had such a problem with this!
Then Haruna did something which meant a lot to me, she took my hand back. I don't care if she did that to everyone but my heart when she did that! Then she said 'Kawaii! Anata wa kawaii desu" And I freaked out.
Mizuki
It was Mizuki's birthday, so obviously the first thing I went to say was 'Otanjoubi omedatou gozaimasu!'. She didn't hear it right ><. They all looked sleepy, especially Sayu, Ayumi and Mizuki. 'Hai Ohayou gozaimasu' she said after a confused moment. It was 4pm XD
I repeated it and she said 'Arigatou, anata wa kawaii!'
Sayumi
Sayumi looked the most flawless ;_; She seemed the most casual to me, and as I'm sure everyone said what I said.
"Kyou mo Kawaii desu"
"Arigatou! Merci! Anata wa kawaii desu!"
"Thank you"
"Ah sou desu, sakyuuuu!" XD
Kikka
I FORGOT ABOUT KIKKA. I thought it was all over so when I saw her my eyes went huge. I saw a box of badges and went to get one when I looked up and she handed i!t to me JFYUDTYGHIGIU THERE IS NO EMOTICON FOR THIS! I just stared at her for a good 3 seconds after getting the badge. I don't think she knew if i knew who she was or if I was just freaking out. Anyhow, she smiled at me and patted me on the shoulder.
"Sou desu...Mata ne!"
Downstairs
I went downstairs and hugged Tiffany and Mico. I can't exactly say what was most amazing about it, but being in that room had just been the best thing ever.
~Mayachan~
(Haruna did wave a little at 0.03 seconds from the balcony <3 <3 <3
It's been two months since I have blogged, which isn't as long as I thought it was, at least Momusu haven't released a new single yet XD News:
*Morning Musume's new single is called 'Wakuteka Take a Chance!' *Morning Musume's 13th Album album has outsold the last four *Manochan is graduating from H!P *Kikka's new MV has been released (But she probably wont sell well at all) *Erechan (My favourite AKB48 Kenkyuusei) has resigned. I've basically poured out all my emotions on these matters into twitter and tumbler already haha. MM's new single looks to be amazing and the album is yummy. Mano and Erechan's news makes me very sad though. So much potential! I can see Mano becoming a fine actress though, and Erechan is about to start high school and since she sadly didn't do well in the Janken, she probably saw no future in AKB for her (BUT I DID). The biggest news is: MORNING MUSUME ARE COMING TO PARIS! Hopefully I can meet some people \o/ Sadly not my twitter mum or dad...but maybe Mico! My lovely 23 year old cousin Mimi is taking me :3 Firstly: It's only Sayu, Reina, Mizuki, Ayumi and Haruna *All my favourites but Haruna* =D It's on the 30th of October in the Hard Rock Cafe, Paris. When the news was announced I as like: Me: "Meh...during school time" *Checks half term dates* Me: "IT'S IN HALF TERM OMG" *Runs to mum and begs* Mum: "Okay I'll take you" Me: "NO THAT'S UNCOOL Mum: "Oh well then no" *Phones cousin and begs* Cousin: LOL I'm a student, I'm poor, no way (Laughing uncontrollably) Me: "I'LL PAY!' Cousin: "Cool" Mum: "Yeah okay" Aichan and Gaki are also going to Paris at a fan meet on the 10th of November! =DD Happy for people who can attend that! =D
I know Aika
graduated a while ago (Although sometimes I forget that Morning Musume is not the
group it once was back in 2007), I just want to say that I hope she does
something soon. Like a stage play or something else *cough* solo single *cough*. Oh and btw I’ve already done a few Aika appreciation posts before and I
think that is enough which is why I didn't blog at the announcement of her graduation as someone asked me XD. I am still a forever Aika fan!
I have
received my copies of ‘One Two Three!’ by the gorgeous Morning Musume And ‘Pera
Pera Perao’ by AKB48’s best sub group ‘Not Yet’. I have listened to all the B-sides but not
for about 2 weeks. I only feel like blogging about 'One Two Three' atm.
One Two Three
I love the
dance shot because Ayumi ROCKS the dance. Queen of the Juukies!
The MV is
meh. Too many sparkles and it just looks kind of cheapish If I’m honest. It’s
not showing something that we haven’t seen before.
In terms of
the song I actually love it. It’s infectious. I think the Reina-Riho lead works
well and the Sayu/Mizuki parts make everything really nice, not to mention that
Eripon gets a ‘Ru’ line which literally made me jump up when I heard it was
her.
Ignoring
all these, the best parts are the incredibly sexy and super cool Reina whisper
parts in the middle. This is why people should stop complaining about who
leads. THEY LEAD BECAUSE THEY’RE AWESOME. Can you imagine where Morning Musume
would be without strong leads such as Nacchi, Miki, Ai, Risa, Reina, Eri and
Riho? No you can't. There would be no Momusu for Momusu would not be popular.
Riho is not the best person to sing the ‘Woahhhhhs!’ bits but hopefully
she will improve. (Hehe, Ri-hope).
This is a
good song and there are some amazing bits. (Side note: Aika, and Gaki I
suppose, would have looked AMAZING in these outfits. ><
The Matenrou Show
I LOVE THIS
SONG.
It sounds a lot like ‘Kono Chikyuu’,
especially the middle parts where Reina sings her solo ‘Aaa, Ai ni oboretai…’
It’s just like when Aichan sang ‘Saa yuke mirai wa…’ in Kono chikyuu. It gives
you the shivers. Honestly, I like this song far more than Kono Chikyuu. There’s
something about it that makes me happy and …makes me want to dance! If Aichan
had been in it I think it would have been perfect.
It’s true
that no one gets solos but Reina and Riho (Sayu gets some double lines) but all
of the group lines are really nicely put together and genuinely just…pretty
sounding. Riho sounded better here than she did in ‘One Two Three’. Reina sounded
pretty much as flawless as always. I can’t wait for her rock band! This is the
kind of music that I love. Will we get an MV? Please lord.
Watashi no Jidai
Again, I’m
sorry if I annoy you by saying this, but Reina’s voice has never sounded better
as Tsunku mentioned earlier this year if I’m right. She can’t graduate yet. Neither can Sayu.
The intro
sounds really Mario cart-ish, or actually the whole instrumental. When I listened to it a few weeks back I
thought it sounded like a boring Anime song but I’ve changed my mind. It’s
totally cute and I’ll make sure to come back and listen to it ^^
There’s not
much else to say except that you can really hear the girls’ charm in this song
somehow. You can feel their character =D
Aisaretai no ni
The first
thing that I noticed was…Kanon opening line! I like it!
The whispers
are really nice too! Perhaps I didn’t listen as thoroughly as I thought I did
Haha. I don’t remember this at all ^^’ I don’t understand how it sounds like
‘Ooki hitomi’ though. It sounds like a mixture of many of the recent B-sides. I
can tell this is a melody that I might forget easily, but then again might find myself humming while walking down the road.
The part in
the middle with the instrumental sounds really familiar, maybe like ‘Namida
Iro’ or something. I’m not sure at the
moment.
(Side
note: Eripon sounded so nice \o/)
Seishun Domanaka!
As soon as
the song started I got the image of little ducks walking through a wood with
umbrellas XD
It’s a cute song as it would be since they are the kouhais of the
group (Edit: not for long. Shit I forgot
about the 11ki audition. We need news of that).
I’m glad I can differentiate the 10ki’s voices
well now. I think it comes easily when you know their speaking voices which is
why I tried hard and watched all of the ‘One Two Three’ TV performances and promotional events that were available. They speak a lot now.
I KEEP MY GIFS IN A FOLDER. ASK ME IF YOU WANT TO BE CREDITED PROPERLY. CREDITS TO ALL GIF CREATORS~ (DREAMY GIRL KAWAII BEING ONE)
My top 3 Morning Musumes of all time are Mitsui Aika, Takahashi Ai and Ikuta Erina. This is my CURRENT ranking. MORNING MUSUME WILL FOREVER BE AWESOME. REMEMBER THAT.
1. Ikuta Erina
Eripon is the cutest member of Morning Musume for me. (Besides Sayu of course...Sayu is inhumanely cute I mean asdfghjkl;) She's hilarious and for any of you who didn't watch Oha-Suta; GO AND DO IT NOW. It's fantastic and all 3 girls had a great friendship which was lovely. Eripon was initially very disliked by me, but now I absolute adore her. I didn't think i'd find any of the newer musumes more interesting than the nine-smile girls but somehow I did. She's a Gaki fan girl which is also cute <3
2. Michishige Sayumi
Sayumin isn't really just cute. She's sexy too! She can also sing well which people don't give her credit for. Atleast she can sing in tune. Many people can't even do that. She also has such an interesting personality if you watch her in various realisty shows such as that one time she was on London hearts. Funniest. thing. ever. Like Eripon, I initially disliked Sayu for her narcissistic character.
3. Tanaka Reina
Reina and Sayu are the last nine smile girls. That is weird enough to type let alone say outloud. Anyway, I think Reina deserves every one of the lines that she gets. Being an idol is more about the lines that you get in songs. I learnt that from Aika :3
4. Ishida Ayumi
I find Ayumin a lot like Eripon but with less personality. I love her expressions while she performs, although many say that they don't like her smile and don't think she's pretty at all. She's H!P shortest member which is also pretty cool =)
5. Fukumura Mizuki
Hide yo' kids and hide yo' wife! Mizuki the H!P wota is coming! Mizuki will one day have an aweosome Aichan-like voice. MARK MY WORDS. She's basically Sasshiko but bustier. Dem Fukuboobs and Fukuthighs are to actually die for.
6. Sayashi Riho
I know what you're thinking Riho. When did you get so high up on my ranking?! Well, if Gaki and Aika were still in MM you'd be 8th, remember that. I Like Riho a lot <3 Ayumi, Riho, Haruna and Mizuki are pretty equal if I think about it. Anyway, Riho is talented and she is doing well to bring Morning Musume back into the public eye.
7. Iikubo Haruna
My love for Harunyan hasn't gone down, my love for others has gone up. I still think she's one of the prettiest members that MoMusu has ever had. Her bashfulness and love for Morning Musumeare adorable and I can see her growing into a fine idol~
8. Suzuki Kanon
So many Aika fans are Kanon fans because she really admires her. I liked her a lot more after finding out that she was an Aika fan <3 She's really funny (not generally my kind of funny, but still at times extremely funny) and I think she has a strong voice. People who call her fat are just annoying. A fat person is FAT. As you can see her, she can show her belly and flaunt it. Show 'em what you got guuuuuurl.
9. Satou Masaki
Aww Masaki. The girl that everyone initially hated for knowing nothing about Morning Musume. She's come a long way. Aren't idols supposed to be anyone? I'm sure her mother's proud. She can sing and dance well =D
10. Kudo Haruka
Although I initially (how many times have I used that word?) found her boring, I find her really entertaining XD Especially when she cries from being scared of ghosts. Her new hair cut looks lovely.
I'm really glad that I like all of the current Morning Musume a lot. Their new single performed live (only one of the A-sides...1.2.3) is amazing!
Aichan has the most angelic and intoxicating voice. It's beautiful.
2. Suzuki Airi
Airi has never ever failed to hit that note. The star of H!P kids.
3. Tanaka Reina
How can you say 'Reina sings too much'. No. Reina should still get lots of lines. She can really sing. That is why she leads. I have said I wished others would get lines like Eripon or Aika, but popularity I guess. Eripon and Aika aren't amazing singers at all really. but I do love their voices and I'll just wait for an album. (Although I can only listen to past albums for Aika's voice).
4. Niigaki Risa
I like Gaki's voice. :)
5. Sugaya Risako
I used to think Risako's voice was really horse and horrible but I actually realised that I only really like the parts in Berryz songs when she hits a really amazing note.
6. LinLin & Iida Kaori
Ah LinLin. She had the Jazz voice going on yo. I don't understand how Tsunku can be looking for an 'Uta hime' ('singing princes') now for the 11th gen when he had one a while ago. Kaorin was similar. I think I heard somewhere that she was the original lead for 'Morning Coffee'. I wouldn't quote me though.
7. Kamei Eri
Sometimes she sounds whiny, especially when she sings high notes but I like her voice a lot.
8. Natsuyaki Miyabi
Miya can sound like Yurina at times. When she doesn't = When she sounds good. I remember when Yurina was my favourite in Berryz. Although, everyone in Berryz and C-ute was once my favourite when i was a crazy new fangirl.
9. Fukumura Mizuki
Mizuki WILL have an Aichan voice. I'm waiting for her to be the star. She sounds just like Aichan did in early singles. I'm so ready for her to shine.
10. Tsugunaga Momoko
Buono! was just a group with good vocals. It's why they should release a new single now!
11. Fujimoto Miki
Her voice was the only interesting this really. besides that wacko husband of her xD
12. Yaguchi Mari
Marripe vocals \o/
13. Sayashi Riho
I do think that It's okay to complain about Riho's centre-push because she's not very vocally talented. Compared to Everyone but Reina and Riho she is though I guess, which is why I stopped cmplaing. I like her a lot, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't like her voice. It's nice when she doesn't sing high notes.
14. Nakajima Saki.
'Kyou wa Zenbu wasureru yo' - Dance de bakoon is one of my favourite lines in any H!P song and is the reason I love Nakky's voice so much <3
15. Fukuda Kanon
Kanyon suddenly got better at singing when Yuuka left :o I don't like Meimi's voice and Takechan and Yuuka are pretty much just as good as Kanyon.
