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

[Sohee]

It's really easy to forget, but. Damn. Sayu's been in showbiz for 11 years -- she's a veteran at this thing. If it was Kudou or even Ikuta saying it, I might be a bit more... unsure, but it's Sayu. She knows what she's doing/saying.

[stam4o]

"Such a thing" being... what exactly? Speak up and stand out more to make people remember her? I'd personally love it if she did that as that'd make people remember her more.

Thta of course yes, but I was talking about gimmick and such, she hasn't to be pushed to create a new image of her or it may be a mess-up.

No one ever said that though. There are some members that could need to work on coming up with something for themselves - but that wouldn't necessarily mean a "gimmick" but instead just finding something about themselves that is interesting and push that (ie. dance for Riho, comedy for Kanon, flattering for Haruna - they're all a "part" of who they are, they aren't being not-themselves, they're just pushing a side of themselves a bit more than others.) That would add "individuality" and "originality." Masaki for sure doesn't need that though as she's original as it is. She needs to speak up more and show that off though.

Uhuh, I just misunderstood it all. But then after all, it's not that severe - by what I see/have seen this has been in work for pretty long already and since of course the hability to choose which parts to emphatisize on isn't something immediately to acquire, there's not really lot to worry about, the results will eventually show up.
Right now I just remembered watching early footage of whatever 10ki was into and there's clearly a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge difference with their behavious from then and now.

Awhile ago I said I think it would be good for Kanon to embrace the Chubby Idol thing

It's positive in a condescending way. Like, "You're fat, but that's what in now, so it's cool *Haughty laugh*"

BUT I think Zukki should just try to spin this to her favor and embrace being "The Chunky one (Even if it's temporary)." Get her out in TV shows, being all talky and weird like usually, crack a joke about being able to eat whatever she wants once and a while. Zukki can start a revolution here if spun right, she can make teenage female idol fans feel okay with their own bodies, simply by embracing this. I think if this continues down the right path, you'll see her popularity really rise.

Honestly, in my opinion, Zukki is very, very pretty and I don't think she's that big, but whatever, go with it.

I'm really really glad she's doing that. She gonna blow up in popularity if she keeps this up.

^There is definitely a difference. But, just "taking their time" with everything won't make them survive in the spotlight. They need to be pushed a bit and think more about it if they wanna survive and especially if they wanna become as big as/bigger than the girls during Golden era was. Tsuji and Kago were all out there even after just a year of joining, after all.
Sure, the times are different and things were scripted differently back then and all, but that still shows that even 12/13 year olds back then could do it. Then sure as hell 14 year olds today could if they'd try/be allowed to. Whichever it is.

I wonder about the differences in Password is 0 since we have differences in TokiSora

[Amped]

TokiSora MV comparison

Promotion version and Limited Edition DVD ver.


i see they combined some of the "close-up version" scenes with the Music Video in the DVD version, instead having it as separate content. that is why there is no "close-up" version in this DVD. all in one marketing trick.

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

I could just listen to that instrumental for the intro/outro of password forever... those artificial voices are just so wacky.

btw, now that they are putting a diff version for the MV and Promotional, it gives me more of a reason to WANT to buy a limited D, as opposed to before where it was just either bc of quality of bc "to get rid of the subtitles"... now it's more than just that!
I actually like the idea a lot.

(it's pretty much the same as "alternate version" and "MV" but they just changed the names to make it seem more "official" i guess )

[otaku_blue]

Come on Zukki knew what she was getting into, if Zukki wants to become a "no limits" idol her fans need to be less sensitive.

^ yeah they shouldv'e done what they do in the Platinum Era, have the main PV as the PV and the other as the "another version".
