[10/15] Morning Musume。'14 57th single - TIKI BUN/Shabadabadoo~/Mikaeri Bijin

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

Mikaeri Bijin? I think you mean "Mikaeri Bijuuuun" as sung by the girls.

[avanpiper]

^ I think that's just how they emphasize on the "n" while singing

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

it might be, but it doesn't change the fact that they're saying "Bijyuuuunnn"

[esm]

Japanese is mora-timed, and the "n" (ん) takes up one mora, just like "ka", "ga", etc (what seems like a syllable), so you'll almost hear the "n" having the weight as if it's one syllable in songs (or like a note, basically). Just check with any H!P song. For example, in the first line of TokiSora 'Watashi wa mada ne mikansei' you can hear that the 'n' in 'mikansei' has the weight of one separate note in the melody.

Yeah, "ん" tends to be pronounced in an "un" kind of sound when stressed, so when they sang the "ん", the "u" in the "un" stood out a lot more.

Mikaeri Bijin sounds so amazing from that preview, and the PV for it looks really promising! Already looped and sang along to that one part countless times

Tiki Bun, I already like the song, and I've had their radio rip on constant repeat and I really like the dancing that's been shown so far. I am so amazed by the accuracy and synchronicity the girls have when dancing, especially in those moves that have them separated into two lines and they're not facing each other but when they move they all move together and I think it's just outstanding. I can't wait to see more of the PV and the dancing! The girl's solo shots looks amazing as well.

Shabadabado fits Sayu so well, and is definitely a good song. Now, is it something I'd have on repeat like the other two? At the moment, no, but I am currently under the impression that it'll hit me more once we get PV/full song out. Definitely jazzy though =)

@tsunkuboy: 今日のハロステで10/15発売モーニング娘。’14「TIKI BUN」のMV出す！

As expected.

Too bad I can't keep myself awake by the time the episode is out.

It's pop-enka, lol.
It definitely has the enka feel to it, both in style of singing and melody and not to mention lyrics. But the music is more pop.

Yeah definitely. I think its just mainly the vocal editing and the lack of more traditional japanese instruments, right?
Especially the electric guitar being there. I'm not sure how the full song is gonna turn out though, so I hope its more like Sakura Mankai because the instrumental is still awesome and legendary to this day.

Spoiler: show

Like when I think of enka, enka, or even a modern version of enka, I'm reminded of Misaki Iwasa:

So knowing UF, they're gonna use that stupid white on black font for the lyrics of Mikaeri Bijin, when clearly it will...not work well... They should use something like more in the preview.

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

THEY PUT THE ENTIRE MV INTO THE H!S. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

[forgetmenots]

I was so excited to see the full video!!

And holy crap, Duu is dominating it. So many shots of her in central positions or just zoomed in or focused mostly on her.
