OMG!! The new song is too cool!
Sakura’s skill is astounding considering her age!
The video just shows why she’s the center of Morning Musume.

The way their formation dances are so disciplined reminds me of FC Barcelona.
Riho gives it that finishing touch not unlike Messi himself.

Tsunku’s strategy of using EDM is doing wonders for them.
He’s succeeded in bringing out the absolute best from the current members.

I don’t think they’d feel out of place at all even if they were appearing at Apollo Theater.

It’s my dream to see Morning Musume in concert at Nakano!
I’m now saving money in order to make that dream come true!

As I look at her face that’s round like the full moon, I feel myself start turning into a werewolf…

Think about it: having the walls suddenly collapse around you on a cold, early morning when you’re still sound asleep… that must’ve been a nightmare for them. I’m sure the only reason they were able to start dancing that intensely right after waking up was because they would’ve frozen to death otherwise.

I like looking at the members’ blogs and I’m especially captivated by Sakura’s beauty.
But the weird thing is, if you look at their YouTube videos, they hardly ever show her…
Tsunku really needs to shine the spotlight on that girl more.

Wow! It seems like Erina’s magic can even cross country borders!
She even made someone like me who’s on the opposite side of the planet fall for her.
At the very least for me she’s the world’s number one idol.

The Morning Musume of today has the essence of what makes Japan so great.
Discipline, hard work, agility, quality, and of course kawaii.
What Japanese people prosper at is coming together and working as one to accomplish something.
And that is what Morning Musume itself is all about.

Watching their music videos with the English-translated lyrics, they seem so weird to me. I wonder if it’s just because the translations are unnatural, or if Tsunku’s original lyrics really are that strange…

What I’m really curious about is what’s called Kana-Tomo’s original finish hold, the “deko-pin.”
It must be really dangerous since Karin fears it that much…
Anyway, it feels like pretty soon nobody will be able to ignore Juice=Juice anymore! :D

By the way, I wonder if the girls themselves realize the meanings of the printed English texts on the shirts they wear? They often have phrases on them that just make me lost for words. I wish the staff around them would check them beforehand…

#49 reminded me of Karin’s outfit for “Watashi ga iu mae ni”. XD
Maaan… Have you seen Momoko’s shirt in “Our Songs”? XD
I have yet to figure out what the first line says. Still, “… sure bitch” is… something.
46 made me chuckle.
Number 8. Is Japanese really that short on flowery speech in day to day language?
Wow, this guy captured the essence of stupid (read: almost all) foreign youtube comments marvelously.

THAT I wanna see!
The ‘M’ male characters are mostly in theirs 30s – 40s while the ‘F’ females are in late teen and 20s, why?
But prop to this guy that give the ‘Thai’ character of 24 years of age. Since I’m Thai, I think most of the fans here are in their 20s or early 30s. But we no longer safe the money for these because it has become cheaper to go to Japan since there is no more Visa requirement for Thai Citizen. Easy in, Easy out
18> werewolves. wth, man?
1> i wished oda was centre too… bleh.
I think he was poking fun at foreigners with that though, because a lot of foreigners think Oda is center when she’s not.
not yet :D

lol hilarious. love that guy~ thanks for translating!! :)
hahaha. i remember seeing those comments somewhere
#34 made me LOL though xD
#46 Actually it’s probably because Hello! Project’s translations suck.
Stereotypical but funny as hell… Bravo!!!
surprised that there wasn’t a ‘why do they make fun of Zukki being fat!’ comment aimed at the foreign wotas.
These are so accurate!! lol
I kinda feel afraid to find one of my comments and I don’t know why xD
good thing all comments where positive right?
i don’t wish oda being center, it’s enough that people thinks that she’s the whole person in the damn world that can sing and sings better than anyone else, it’s annoying because i know persons who are better at singing, including myself.
Anyone who compares Riho to Messi needs a lobotomy. Seems no one is greater at stroking Japan’s ego than the Japanese. Though in their defense some of the comments I see boarder on japanophile. Really happy H!P doesn’t seem to have many weeaboo fans.
