In Topic: Inaba Manaka (稲場愛香)

I don't think her singing is worse than rihos. But maybe that's just my point of view since I never liked Rihos voice...neither in Momusu or now. And Manaka improved quiet a bit in Juice=Juice. So I think she has a decent chance. Im curious what concept they choose for her. I feel most upfront solists which have been Idols kinda blend into each other. It would be fun to have someone with a new style. Like back in the days matsuura and goto felt totally different.

Geta is pretty unique which is a clever choice bc it makes her stand out and its easy to remember. I like red as a choice aswell. she seems to be the confident type after all.

I remember how quiet and Ruru was in the beginning when she wasn't performing and look at her now. Haru-san (this nickname is so cute somehow ...) will be fine. :)


In Topic: [07/26] OCHA NORMA - Chotto Joucho Fuantei?...Natsu / Ocha no ma Maharoba Iko...

Chotto Jousho Fuantei? ...Natsu makes me think they wanna go in a NiziU direction with Ocha Norma. (Sounds a bit like "Make you happy")

If thats so they are competing highly! But I think the song itself is nice and doesn't sound like the other groups songs which sounds are kind of mixing in with another.

The vocals are okish. The girls vocal match each other well with not too much difference in quality so it's a nice consistent mix of vocals. 

 

I'm just a bit worried that the company might overwork the group. A 4-side single seems very stressful to me.


In Topic: Morning Musume。25th Anniversary Audition

25 May 2023 - 11:42 PM

I don't expect anything to change aswell. Momusu relied on their main singers for generation now. When I found out about Morning Musume it was 80% Ai and Reina solos with a bit of a bit of Risa and Eri (despite having wonderfully skilled people like LinLin shoved in the back).
Then they had to replace Ai and Riho got pushed (I never liked her singing since it was so shouty but she was popular like no one else) when Reina was about to graduate Sakura joined. In the end it became Riho, Sakura with side support of Ayumi, Mizuki and Masaki.
And so on...this is ofc rough but Momusu had this system for a while now and it seems to work for the management and producers.
I guess Rio is about to become a main singer in the future to replace Mizuki. She is a decent singer with potential aswell as a visual and has entertainer qualities. I'm curious who the other one will be to eventually take Sakuras spot since nobody atm is close to that utahime level of hers or Ais.
