[4/16] Morning Musume。'14 56th single - Toki wo Koe Sora wo Koe / Password is 0

[esm]

It's just "Yumemiru Fifteen". No "sai" on the end or anything.

(And it bothers me that lots of people still write it as Yumemiru 15sai. It's Yumemiru 15 (or Fifteen, whichever) dammit!)

but in kanji it has sai, though. lol.

The furigana goes over the entire "15歳".

Question aside, but still related to this and even the single: I'm curious, how do you know when to read "力" as chikara or as a simple ka?

カ(ka) and 力 (chikara) aren't written nor printed exactly the same. Chikara is broader. Look at them together:

カカカ 力力力

Anyway, it's like 0O (zero oh) and lI (lower case L, capital I). Context will make it clear what's what.

Thanks. Couldn't appreciate that very well on first sight in the MV, yet when I searched about it, several sites were stating there was no difference in the writing. Some specified that it may variate because of the font (which was actually not what I ws looking for) but others would say that they'd be written the same because of their same origin. So thanks for clarifying : )

oh. Well damn. I always thought it sounded weird saying "fifteen sai" Well, that answers my question.
Imagine if english had furigana.
It would look like this

My Name is Sayumi
|-----I a m f a b u l o u s -----|

^ The small is read in place of the big.

Imagine if english had that...

Yep. And in the lyrics they even sing "Yume miteru fifteen" when there's 夢見てる　15歳 written, so that's the title.

Im kinda bugged that this is another MM PV where they have Riho as the thumbnail. Like surely after the fourth time it cant be a coincidence...

But its cool how the thumbnail says the title and MM'14.

Nice reading so many english comments...it's got 36, 416 views atm. TokiSora at 472,353 views...will this reach 1 million before release date

^ Some sharing the same sentiments like you.

Wow....Ever since Reina left, Riho took the spotlight. Yeah both are very talented, but all the members should shine, Haruka has a great voice, and many others in the group as well, but Tsunku has never used this to the groups advantage. For a long time, I feel like morning musume was becoming "Reina, Riho, and the backup dancers" or "Ai chan, reina, and the others", but then again thats just my opinion. Tsunku has issues with the definition of a group and a solo act with backup girls.

Im not Riho hating, its literally just an observation.
Wakuteka Take a Chance, Ai no Gundan, Egao no Kimi wa Taiyou Sa, and Password is 0 all have a Riho close-up as the thumbnail.
The other person whos the thumbnail is Sayumi with Wagamama, and What is Love.

Its obviously just to like get a familiar face out there, and because of AKB culture identifying with a center might help casual fans understand the group better. Im ok with Riho being center, she's flawless and her dancing is perfect.

It isn't a coincidence. On Youtube you can choose a personal thumbnail.
