I blame Buono...

For using the whole budget in their "My Boy" PV, resulting in a Momusu video with the girls pretty much just standing in front of white screens... Maybe Morning Musume isn't the big lead group of H!P anymore

But there's something weird about it... Do the girls actually get equal screen-time?? o.o I may be wrong, but it even sounded like most of them got solo lines. Whatever happened to the "90% Ai and Reina and 10% Koharu" concept? This apperent justice, and the fact that Gaki looks totally stunning in her uniform-like outfit, still makes the video interesting. Though it's definitely not one of their best ones.

The new Hello! Project

2009-04-19T17:12:00.002+02:00

It's a new epoke of the H!P history. It may be a bit late to write about the Elder Club Graduation Concert, but it's now up on youtube for everyone to watch. But I won't be writing about the concert itself, or the elder club even. I've just gathered a few thoughts/hopes/ideas that occured to me while watching it, about how the H!P could stay epic even without Yossie, Nacchi and Nakazawa...

1. Aiko is added to Morning Musume as a mascot. Cuteness Overload!
This, however, triggers the maternal instict in the girls, and
2.Ai and Risa decides to graduate from Momusu to start their own families. Ai-chan remains the leader of Hello Project, as she and Gaki form a unit with Reina, which totally rocks (Think of the "Take off is now" Perfomances :P). This leaves room for
3.Kamei to become the new leader of Momosu. (As Reina would be too busy, and Kamei is almost a year older...) But since there's 2 spots open in the group,
4. Maiha Ishimura makes her long awaited come-back, joining Momoko as the 9th generation (^_^)v

5. Risako gets Momoko's lines in Berryz Koubou (Don't hate me for saying this. Risako has a strong voice and puts a lot of energy into her singing)
6.Yurina starts a unit with Erika, as the tall ones in H!P.
7. Chinami wears shorter skirts (come on, like that thought never entered your mind ;))

8. Maimi stops taking all the solo-lines in c-ute, (she's not that good.) leaving some for Erika who's improved a lot lately.
9. Kanna recovers.
10. Mai grows up, learns how to sing, and stops being such a brat.

11. All the girls in Elder Club will have luck to find hapiness in whatever they decide to do next :) We're all gonna miss them, ne?

"My Boy" Full PV!

2009-04-17T19:42:00.006+02:00

I was kinda expekting a more mature PV to go with this song (Think Resonant Blue!). But I guess Buono will be Buono, and that's why we love them (^_^)/

My big grief however, is how the assasi... I'm sorry, "cake stealer"-suits fails to bring out Airin's cuteness (T_T)

She sorta looks like a main character from some american thriller...

Hey, at least there's cake (^_^)

Buono "My Boy" Preview!

2009-04-16T20:00:00.000+02:00

This song is quite unlike their previous singles. It's kinda rock-ish, and their voices sound more mature. Especially Momoko seems to have grown a lot... I just can't give up the thought of how well she might fit in to Morning Musume as the 9th generation. Possibly accompanied by Chisato or Sayaka (^_^)v

The song will be used as the ending theme for Shugo Chara! Doki, an anime I must admit I haven't watched, despite the large number of H!P songs appearing in it (>__<) Maybe some other day...
