Yesterday's episode of Bijou Gaku aired a segment that showed the 9th practicing and recording their lines for Morning Musume's upcoming single Maji Desu ka Ska.
I am extremely happy that everything I hoped for when the 9th gen joined is happening. Morning Musume is finally releasing happy and upbeat music. Morning Musume's so called emo era has finally ended. Which is bittersweet because Koharu was have totally owned at songs like this. :/
First, let me start off by saying how impressed I am with the 9th gen. The girls have only been training for a month, and still sound great. Granted, both Mizuki and Riho have had years of vocal and dance training, so they don't really count too much. And my girl Zukki completely owned it! Despite her being the worst singer in the batch, she actually sounds the best out of the 9th gen. It's her cuteness, charisma, and energy overflowing in the song.
I have to say I am absolutely in love with this song. It's energetic, happy, upbeat, and adorable. This song to me sounds like the album songs from Morning Musume's 9th and 10th albums. Which I am completely thrilled about. I always whined that one of those type of songs should be used as an A-side, and now it is. This song honestly sounds like/has the overall feel of Morning Musume's Koko ni Iruzee, Guru Guru Jump, and Genki Pika Pika, and S/mileage's Otona ni Narutte Muzukashii.
Some fans are saying this song isn't strong enough to be an A-side, but I don't think they can judge that until the full radio rip is out. I mean, the chorus isn't even all of Morning Musume. If you listen closely it's just the 9th gens voices, and I doubt only the 9th gen will sing the chorus of the song. I will completely judge the song when I hear all of the members in the song. I am excited to hear what they'll sound like. I'm hoping Risa brings her cuteness from Athena & Robikerottsu, I hope Sayumi brings her adorableness from Rainbow Pink, and I hope Aika uses her Guardians 4 voice. I've never heard Reina's voice sound remotely cutesy, so I hope she at least tries to sound cute. But I'm dreading Ai-chan's voice. I know she's going to put on that horrible voice she uses when she tries to sound cute. You know the one. The one she uses's when she sings Shainimuni Paradise, and the 2009 version of Suki na Senpai, and when she was in Mini Moni.
The one thing I am worried about it, it seems like these are the only lines the 9th gen get. At first I thought we were only hearing these solo lines and the chorus to tease fans and only give them a snippet of the song. But there's also another possibility that these are their only lines. Because when you are recording a song you only record your lines, bottom line. And you only record the chorus once. Even if the chorus is repeated 8 times, they take your one chorus section and paste it 8 times. Of course unless there are 2 different choruses or the last chorus has a higher ending or something. Then you would only have one copy and pasted chorus. (I wish I knew actual editing terms, because I'm sure it's not copy and paste.) Of course, I could also just be over analyzing this, as I often tend to do.
Here's the Bijou Gaku clip if you want to watch the whole thing.
But if you'd just prefer to hear the song, here's the a clip of just the song.
