Looks like the highly anticipated Jpop girl group, is back!
You know, out of all the Jpop groups I do like, I have never gotten into this group. I've heard of them numerous of times, but when I heard their other single in 2012 ( "Moretsu Uchu Kokyokyoku Dai Nana Gakusho "Mugen no Ai"), I really didn't like them and that electronic style that they were going for (although I do love Morning Musume's "One Two Three" and Perfume). I have also checked out that this group has been through quite a lot of members, since they've debuted and I'm really lost in their names, maybe I'll look further into them after "Push", considering I actually like "Push".
I think the MV is really cute, with those cute noses and that Greek Olympic idea, was quite entertaining. I think it's really nice for groups to do MV's like this because it keeps you entertained and it's not overly in your face or something that won't make you come back and watch it. I heard Sayumi from MM likes this group as well (side-note). Aside from the really cute MV, the song is very nice, I definitely like this style, for any artist in Jpop really. I would love if S/mileage did this type of song. I can see this song doing very well on the charts, well since Momo Z was named the girl group to get a #1 single this year, this song might just do it for them, but let's wait and see (def top 5). All in all, I really fell in love with this song and I'll keep a look out for Momoiro Clover Z! My fav members are Ayaka and Momota (Pink and Red). I would give this song...4.7/5!
I guess I was sort of right by saying, that Kpop this year will be quite sexy~~
This is by far, one of her worse songs! I really hated "Top Girl" and this song, is just as bad, if not worse. It's a little catchy, but no way in hell would I watch this again, nor buy it (no offense G.NA). We all know G.NA is WAY better then this, plus this style doesn't really suit her. G.NA's style was so much better when she debuted and when "Black and White" came out. Other then that, she's kind of gone down a road which will hurt her, rather then making her more popular, as a soloist.
Has anyone ever noticed that G.NA is SO awkward! She always does this eye thing, that she's just staring at nothing and having no emotion, plus not blinking. She's really not meant to be a soloist, well...she should be in a group, but known as the main vocalist because she's really awkward, a little too skinny (makes me feel like her boobs are gonna crush her), and doesn't really know how to portray her emotions, through a song. During a live or even in the MV, I don't get a, "I'm just to hot, for everyone", I get, look at me because I'm skinny and doing provocative movement, with some hot men, that are utterly useless at their job, as firefighters (but funny).
The one with a hat, is the hottest
What a stupid concept and even more, stupid dance. It looks so embarrassing to dance, plus the back-up dancers are like 10x better at it, then her. At least the video gives of some comedic relief, but still pointless. The meaning is really just her stating that she's hot...like it must have been so hard to write this song. Overall, a shitty song and shitty MV. Poor G.NA...what a waste, considering she does have amazing vocals. I would give this song...1.2/5
We all love her and she's such a good leader! I'm not really sure what will AKB48 be like, without her. I know Atsuko leaving might have an impact, but for sure if Takahashi left, I think AKB48 will lose a lot. She really deserves to be #1 in the election, considering she's really the face of AKB48. Nonetheless, I love her and I'm really grateful that she's in AKB48 (plus she's really cute with short hair!)
It's like I said in my previous post...Yuko will be #1...I do see this happening throughout the entire election. I love surprises, and this election is just like last year's, when we all knew that Atsuko would get #1 spot. I'm really hoping that the top 16 get really switched around and Yuki or Mayu gets the #1 spot; that would be VERY exciting and very FRESH!
If I did actually buy "Manatsu no Sounds Good", I would have voted for Kuramochi, instead of my oshimen, Kashiwagi. To bad she's in Next Girls...
I actually really love her and I wish she can be in Senbatsu...she's not even close, at the moment!
All these years that I've been into AKB and their sister groups and I have never chosen my oshimen; it's hard!! I came to an answer, but it's going to be different for each sister group, only because I actually cannot choose just one from all the 300 girls in AKB and the sister groups. So, I'll work my way down from SKE, to NMB, and then AKB (I only chose these 3 because they are going to be in the Senbatsu election (I doubt HKT48 would be in it, but who knows).
SKE48: My oshimen is Matsui Rena!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ever since "Kataomoi Finally" came out, I've been in love with SKE48 and I couldn't stop staring at this beauty, known as, Rena. Her and the other Matsui (Jurina) are really a powerful couple and it took me a long time to finally pick between them, but once I saw, "Kataomoi Finally", I finally came to a decision and I'm quite pleased. I started to watch all the episodes, that I can find, of AKBingo! and Rena always stands out to me; plus she's hilarious! Ms.Spicy girl loves spicy food. Overall I would be very happy for her to be in the senbatsu during the election. Maybe...16...high, but not to high~
My next oshimen is from NMB48! Her name is...Sayaka Yamamoto!
She's so weird...I don't even know how to read her. I really love NMB48 and because she's been the ace, I do feel that I kind of only knew her, but I got to know the other members, through their stages and such, but Sayaka has the "it" factor! Regardless if the song is crappy or just not to par with their other single's, she still knows how to put 110% in her performances. She also has a really nice voice, which is always a plus in such a huge family, like AKB. I guess I'm not to knowledgeable, when it comes to Sayaka, but I know that I really love her and I love watching her perform, so I hope she's in the top 10 for the election!
My last oshimen is the person I want to be #1 in the election!!!!!!!! Her name is...KASHIWAGI YUKI!
HOLY SHIT, did it take me forever to pick my oshimen; it's so fucking hard, especially in AKB48. Have you guys every watched AKBingo?...Of course you have, well then you would know that every girl is amazing and picking one is like impossible, but I'm very happy about AKBingo. This is because it really helps you to see the members, for who they are and at least makes you laugh/cry in like every episode.
Oh...the black-hearted idol...Yuki...I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! You need a solo bitch, I love French Kiss, but I want you to have a solo. Yuki got 3rd last year, so I'm thinking either 2nd or 1st this year for her, that would be cool and if she's 1st, I would be super HAPPY! Yuki doesn't really seem like to type to be ace, but then again, neither did Atsuko, but she did an excellent job at it. I just don't want Yuko to be #1 because that is so obvious, it's not really fair for the other girls and it totally ruins the #1 spot because we know who's going to get it; no surprise.
Back to Yuki! Yuki is funny, dumb, talented, and crazy. Mayu may not like her reactions, but I envy her reactions because they are priceless, especially when she gets outed on something, her eyes go HUGE!
She is perfection, to me, and I'm really happy to call her, my true oshimen!!!
Well, we finally say, "Goodbye"! There is only Tanaka and Sayumi, that I actually know of. The 9th and 10th gen, are really still new, plus now there's going to be an 11th gen, coming. Looks like it's going to be another year of learning names...I'm still learning names from AKB, SKE, NMB, Nogizaka46, and whatever I missed (haha). At least we'll get to see Aika more, considering she's still in Hello! Project; a plus side.
Should I start with Aika or Risa...well Aika's will be faster, so...Aika it is!
Why did it take 5 years to get Aika's hair right? Out of everyone in Morning Musume, she always got the worse hairstyle's...and I mean EVERYONE that was/is in Morning Musume. I am still sad that she doesn't get a solo or anything special, but it isn't like her contract with H!P, is over. I am excited to see what will happen to her after she recovers from her leg officially. I don't think she will become a soloist or anything on that par, mostly because she can't dance as hard as she is use too, but I think she'll become an MC for concerts and maybe go on more variety shows, like Sayumi or Mari. Since Aika did graduate not to long ago, I still haven't "recovered" from the sadness. I know Aika was never popular and I know she never got anything special (like lines in a song), but I really did love her, regardless of her being the youngest or regardless of her lacking in singing talent; she was just beautiful. I always watch old episodes of Haromoni and seeing all of them together, with chemistry, really makes me sad; I really miss my Morning Musume. The Morning Musume I knew was when Koharu, Aika, Takahashi, Jun Jun, Lin Lin, Eri, Sayumi, Tanaka, and Risa, were all together. That was the Morning Musume I knew (around 2007) and I really miss them!!!!!!!!!!!!! All of them are gone...well Sayu and Reina are there, but they weren't really my favs, honestly, but I do love them. Well beautiful Aika, I say, "Goodbye"! Well, until you come back, you little sneaky bitch! LOVE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Risa Niigaki...how will Morning Musume live without this powerhouse!?!?!
I don't care if it's to big!~~~~ -_____-
How do you even say goodbye to her? With Ai, I was surprisingly alright, I lived, but Risa...I couldn't bare it. Plus, having Aika graduate with her just made everything so sad. I always wonder if the Morning Musume girls know that Morning Musume needs a fresh start? Well, they know that AKB48 is the most popular girl group, at the moment, I just wonder if they think they can come back to becoming #1 again? I hope Risa will get a successful job in the entertainment business! Well how could she not, she's fucking great at everything (well...). Risa may have always been behind Takahashi in...everything, but we all knew who that powerhouse was, singing all those powerful notes; they were Risa~ I did love that Risa had a distinct voice, plus she's really talented in singing. I don't even have anything to say...she's gone...there's nothing more to say, really. I'll miss her a lot though, I know that their 50th single will be really awkward to listen/watch, especially without seeing Risa and Aika in the MV. Time sure flies...I do feel that her talent was never appreciated in her years in MM. The only singer who had raw talent, in my opinion. She deserved more and that solo cover album will give us fans something to really appreciate! Bye Bye RISA!!!!!!! DAISUKI!!
GO RISA!!!!!!!!!!!!! My fav solo from her~
Aika's SOLO!!!! SEE!!! She can sing and she has fans!!!
Not really a proper goodbye, but I'm content and I'll live~
I figure I will get all my reviews, out of the way, so I can talk about Aika and Risa's graduation!!
LET'S BEGIN!!
First will be, She'z with, "My Way"
This group is beginning to become quite popular! They have raw talent, that I really appreciate and I like how they present themselves; with confidence. Rookie groups tend to be nervous, but these girls are quite confident, in their talents; reminds me why I like Hello Venus, a lot. Their debut single, "My Way", is really sugoi!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!! Their debut live performance was a little lacking and one made a mistake, but that's alright, we all get nervous on stage~~~~
The song has this 2NE1 feel to it, and this reminds me why I loved 2NE1 at the beginning, they bring something to the table that other groups can't; raw talent that shines through each member. Plus, each member gets a pretty decent amount of time, to sing and shine! I don't have much to say, well, I do. The MV was pretty..."ok". I get that this is their debut single, but companies need to understand that MV's really help make a group more popular, especially in Kpop. So, I encourage their company to do more with the MV, but please keep this type of music, for them; it really suits their unique voices. I would give this song...5/5! (I think that's a first for any rookie group, that I've reviewed!)
Here's the MV! (Comes with ENG subs~)
And if you are from a country, like Canada, then this video will work for you because that video (above) apparently doesn't work in my country...
Next up is Risa's special solo!!! "Egao ni Namida (Thank you! Dear My Friends)"!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW RISA!!!!!! I will miss you, dearly! I couldn't stop crying yesterday, when I watched a YouTube vid of her saying some lines from her graduation speech! It's really hard to move on from the Morning Musume, I grew up with, but this song really helps me, honestly. I think you already know what I would rank this song, although I didn't really like it when I first heard it, but as a nice person, I listened to it 5 times and LOVED it! Even the MV is perfect, with all those cute pictures, that must be so nostalgic for her! Oh my...I remember her in pig tails! Such good memories, guys!! If anything, I'm happy this was her song, but a little sad she didn't get an original song, but I understand that this song means a lot to her; I'm happy. Definitely 5/5! (I'll save the sappy-ness for my goodbye post!)
Here's the MV!
Here's the MV with ENG subs! So you can cry even more (haha)~~~
Last will be, B.A.P with, "Power"!
Not the best picture, but I really like it!
I know this review is late, but I'm behind and I'm trying to catch up, OK! I really liked, "Warrior", but this one, I didn't like as much. I'm pretty simple, with my songs, but this one is so, in you FACE! I'm not a fan of this type of music, like for, "Warrior", I understood that they were different, but it's like this song is, "Warrior", but with more, URRRGGGGG~ "Warrior" was good enough, I didn't need a part 2. I did like the dance, they are quite talented in that aspect, plus their lives are entertaining, to watch. Overall, a pretty bad song choice and distribution (and hairstyle's...), but nice dance/dance break and I give props to the members who have to do that like everyday, until promotions are over. So...1.8/5. I've never thought of listening to it, nor do I want to listen to it, again (5 times was to much~!)
Here's the MV!
Here's the MV with ENG subs! (I never even cared to look up the lyrics...just wasn't interested~)
