[PV SPAM + COMMENTARY] Morning Musume - Kare to Issho ni Omise ga Shitai!

Hi everyone, so I thought I'd do something special today because this song just won't get out of my head. It's a Sayu-centered song called "Kare to Issho ni Omise ga Shitai!" This song is ironically about a boy, even though Sayu is obviously a lesbian. Anyway, not the point! XD This song was on the single with "Kono Chikyuu no Heiwa wo Honki de Negatterun da yo!" which is the more known side of the single. Do I think this is one of their stronger singles? Definitely not, but I'm still reviewing this side, because just like I said, this song just won't get out of my head. Anyway let's STAATO!


Here's the PV (UP-FRONT didn't upload the official one on MoMusu's channel so had to use a subbed one -_-):


~


Ai-chan, your graduation hair really did not flatter you. What a shame.



I think everyone wants to be that lip balm...



Hipster Reina is hipster.



Three Sayu heads! I love you, Sayu, but that's a bit scary!

Gaki-san blowing kisses at me :)

ERIPON BABY!! FINALLY!! MY 9KI OSHI! <3


Mittsi's hair in this is horrid. Dear God, why make a pretty girl look so terrible?


Gaki, on the other hand, looks beautiful in this PV.


Ai-chan is like, "Oh my God, my face is on these huge billboards!"


Suuuuper Gakiii~!


Yes, that's right, Zukki is an angel...so give her more lines!


Reina, lost your hipster glasses I see? Damn it, I liked you better with them...


Just dancing on clouds, NBD. #yolo


Zukki really looked like a baby just a couple years ago!


Three Aika heads this time? This is getting out of hand!


Riho, I hope you know that dog is fake...


Sayu can serve me up some food anytime! ;)


Ai-chan, why so hot? //dies


I just couldn't resist screencapping this Mizupon derp face.


Eripon, whyyy?! Nightmares! //burns eyes


GIANT FLOATING AI HEAD!!! I don't even mind doe~!!

And that's the end! I hope you guys have enjoyed this review and I hope you all have a wonderful Friday! Expect an update on my ºC-ute blog soon! Calli, out~!

Okay, well the top two were expected. RisaRisa third though, is quite interesting. Although now that I think about it, it's true. I'm just quite apprehensive as to how Nakky is above Harunan, that puzzles me. Something that really surprised me was how high up Mori-senpai was...but now that I think about it, I really do like her second in Country Girls. Also, I'm surprised that KanaTomo is so low, because she is my first oshi in Juice=Juice. Airi is above Maimi, which would've been surprising a month ago, but honestly, Maimi's been grating on me, and I'm starting to see Airi's charm. Of course, she'll never overtake Nakky and Chisa, but she seemingly has taken over Maimi. My final point that I wanna make is I'm really quite surprised how high Takechan is on this list, because I really don't like her, but I guess when I think about it, there are members I really do like less than her. Surprisingly, Captain is third to last, but I know why this is: it's been literally nothing about her appeals to me. Nothing is wrong with her to me, but I just don't like her at all. That's what it is. And of course, Momochi is last because she's just so...err...special.
Anyway, comment with your ranks and I will keep you updated on my group ranks soon! Calli, out~!

CALLI'S MORNING MUSUME '15 RANKINGUUUU! (as of January 2015)

Hi everyone, so I stole this idea from Linzy, but I thought it would be nice to rank each of the 5 main groups in Hello! Project in terms of my bias towards them (I'm not counting Country Girls or the new Kenshyuusei group, because we don't know enough about them yet.)
So, I decided to start with the group with the most history, Morning Musume! Now, remember this ranking is of January 2015, so if my ranking changes drastically, I'll make another post about it. Anyway, LET'S STAATOOOO!



13. Makino Maria


Maria is a twelfth gen member, so I know I shouldn't be picking on her so harshly yet, but there's something about this girl I just don't like. I think it's partly her half-Western looks, partly her pre-debut popularity, and partly an inexplicable air I get when I look at her. I honestly don't believe she'll grow on me even after debut, and while I have nothing against the girl herself, she just really doesn't appeal to me. 

12. Sayashi Riho


Even though I may not be a Riho fan, that doesn't stop her from being a lovable piece of poop. Still, that doesn't save her from a shit ranking. I really don't like Riho's apparent cockiness. Apart from that, I think she has a weaker singing voice yet she gets lead vocal parts. Of course, not as weak as Ogata's, but not as strong as Sakura's or Zukki's. Maybe if Riho were a back girl, I would like her more, because honestly, I'd rather her be in that place.

11. Fukumura Mizuki


Now don't get me wrong, I have a soft spot for Fukupon, but she's just so...bland to me. Everything about her is bland to me: her looks, her personality, her singing voice. Even though her singing voice is one of the stronger ones in the group, nothing about Mizuki really stands out to me like it should. This is why she has such a low ranking.

10. Sato Masaki


Yes, I do love Maachan. However, I do not love the act she puts on. She acts cute while putting on an eerily high-pitched singing voice, and I know it's just not her. I'm not sure if it's Tsunku forcing her to do that, or if it's Maachan's personal choice, but I'm just really not a fan of it. She does have a strong and stable voice, though, and I wish her abilities were utilized more in the group.

9. Ogata Haruna


Ogata is a funny girl with a lot of personality. This was proven through her old Twitter account. Yet she also knows how to keep her cool, which I like. I also think she has a mysterious and unique look, and she's just overall likable. The reason she's not higher on this list is simply because there are girls I like better, also she really cannot sing. Maybe her rank will move up when 12th gen debuts.

8. Oda Sakura


Oda is a natural beauty, I think. She also reminds me a lot of myself for some reason, with her reserved and serious nature. Her singing voice carries the group along vocally, in my opinion. Something I really love about her singing voice is that it can either be low and powerful or high and sweet, and they both seem 100% natural. This girl is underappreciated, I think.

7. Suzuki Kanon


This girl is full of personality. She's funny, sweet, caring, and humble. She has amazing and underutilized vocals. I don't think she realizes how truly amazing she is. I think my favorite thing about Zukki, though, is the body positivity she promotes. She makes curvy girls around the world know that they can be beautiful too. The reason she's not higher? Again, I'm just more biased towards other girls.

6. Haga Akane


No doubt the prettiest of the 12th gen members, Haga automatically draws me to her. I like her maturity for her age, for she is only twelve, but acts and looks like a much older girl. At times, her face reminds me of Sayu, and I think that's cute. At first, I was skeptical of Tsunku's reason for choosing her, but now I see that she's a great addition to the group.

5. Ishida Ayumi


Daishi is fabulous, I think. She always radiates a lot in PVs, and although she may not be the most talented in the group, she definitely brings a sass and presence that I really appreciate. I think as she grows older, she just becomes more and more beautiful, and I look forward to seeing what she will do in the future. She is also a great rapper!

4. Ikuta Erina


Eripon is really something special, I think. It's a shame because she's so underappreciated. She's not a great singer, but she has a really interesting face plus she's a decent dancer and rapper. I think Eripon has a really realistic personality, and like Zukki, I think she's relatable. For example, she fangirls over Gaki just like us fans and wotas would fangirl over idols, too. She doesn't seem fake and that's something I really appreciate about her.

3. Nonaka Miki


Miki is just a little ball of cuteness, isn't she? For one, she's a great singer. She's also super irresistible, I just wanna hug her! Also, her English skills are a very nice addition to the group. Something about Miki just pulls me in, and I warmed up to her instantly, unlike the other 12th gen members. I'm so looking forward to her debut in the group!

2. Kudo Haruka


What can I say? Kudo Haruka is just...beautiful. I mean, just look at her! She's really growing into a beautiful young woman. I love her ikemen style so much, and I think it fits her very well! She's extremely charming, and she has a refreshing singing voice. I wish she received more lines, but it seems like that's gonna happen soon!

Aaaand....number one.....

1. Iikubo Haruna


I think if I had one word to describe Harunan, it would be...alluring. That's exactly what she is, attractive in a unique/mysterious way. With her tan skin, naturally lined eyes, and teethy smile, she's a charmer. Also, I love her sense of style and think it's really hot. Her singing voice has got to be my favorite part, though. It's deep and sexy, but can also be cheerful, and it always cheers me up. I love you, Harunan!

Osaka Umainen (updated)

So, I just came up with the most genius idea. A MoMusu '15 unit singing "Osaka Umainen" from the 10 MY ME album. It would have Zukki as Linlin, Eripon as Aika, and Ayumi as Junjun. To further enhance the experience, I'll include an mp3 and color coded lyrics to help you imagine it better and to bask in this awesome idea with me~
