[Morning Musume] Hello! Project Official Platinum 12 Thread

[~Inori~]

Nanchatte Renai sold 11,271 this week.

Total: 66,244

And the single is at #10 today.

[Mr. Goto]

They only need 1k to beat THE Manpower!!! this is their highest selling single since 2005 Great this single really deserves it.

[RyRyMini]

That C-ute single is OK - I usually don't like their songs. I can't believe Erika didn't get any solo lines! Actually, I can believe it.

[ruixiong89]

Sigh, C-ute just seems to be going downhill with all their lacklustre singles after like Tokkaiko Junjou? I have no idea what tsunku is thinking at all.

Morning Musume on the other hand are really scoring high points! Nanchatte ought to sell even more! I think with their recent music, they're definitely securing more fans than the usual wota.

[cool_kickin_dude]

it would be SO cool if NR broke 70,000..then we can see stuff happening here in the States

[RyRyMini]

I want them to come to the East Coast. Arrgh xD

I think we owe these numbers to the mass promotion this time around. They even went on Music Station =o!!

I think C-ute's good singles started with Edo temari and ended with BYE BYE BYE.

Yay nanchatte! Great news!

[ruixiong89]

^ Edo Temari was actually so-so for me, but BYE BYE BYE was yet another unruly generic pop tune. They've been having a lot of these super generic poppish happy tunes for quite some time, and now with EVERYDAY, I can just say, SIGH.

I actually looked forward to hearing their stuff, but it's just these pop synth tunes again and again and again. I would have liked to hear stuff that's more different and perhaps more mature, I don't think it's doing justice to the girls' talents.

I watched C-ute PV again and I actually liked the song this time it's not as great as Bye Bye Bye! or Tokkaiko Junjou but I still like it!

Covers are OUT!

[cool_kickin_dude]

someone was saying that this is their strongest generation of Morning Musume..I pretty much believe it

[~Inori~]

^I think a newspaper said it. Even though I just got into them I must say I prefer this line up over the past. I hope Ai and/or Risa aren't "graduating" anytime soon.

Also, I heard they didn't change the group since Linlin and Junjun joined so the Japanese public could get use to them. Is that true or is that what some people believe?

[visionfactory]

^ I think that is what people believe

Is better for them to have a permanent line-up.. but I want a new member!! It's so exciting when a new members enters Morning Musume XD

[Mr. Goto]

I would be so pissed if this current line up became permanent lol, I love the current girls but it would be so unfair to the older generations. I mean they were practically forced to graduate which is what lead to Morning's downfall in the first place.

Anyway I just re-discovered ROMAN ~my dear boy~. I never used to like it but it randomly came on shuffle today and I've been listening to it all day.

[RyRyMini]

xD @ the regular edition C-ute cover. Can you tell which one wants to be a model? The covers are nice though.

[paperitahra]

^RyRyMini: Erika Umeda, in the reg. cover she is standing in the upper line at the right. The tall one with brown hair.

And I have to say that I've always loved C-ute (sometimes even over Momusu), but I hate how they give most of the lines to Airi & Maimi. I'm not saying that I wouldn't like them, Airi is actually my favorite H!P girl right after Koharu, but there should be some equality when it comes to their lines. Chisato, Mai & Saki all have beautiful voices, so why not to use them?!

I really like C-ute's new song. The PV is kinda simple though, but really mature looking. They all look stunning!

EDIT. LOL I was wondering how come you didn't know who she was.. I'm sorry, my mistake. Once you pointed out your point I get it. Hah! xD

[RyRyMini]

^I knew it was Erika, I was just pointing out that her pose was over the top xD

[Mr. Goto]

Special member only pvs from the "Event V" of Nanchatte Renai

Nanchatte Renai Event V

[cool_kickin_dude]

NEW SINGLE ANNOUNCED!!

Titles called: Kimagure Princess(out 10/21)

This will have 4 versions, but also TEN different covers!

[milky_way]

They sure are cranking the singles out this year.

[RyRyMini]

At least they're not selling over 10 versions - I believe one of them just has interchangeable covers.

I hope it's not too genki of a song x.x
