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

[JonCC]

Mikaeri Bijin 's MV is pretty, has a lot of emotion and the girls looks gorgeous, but like I mentioned before: the unison singing+enka influences just kills it for me personally

Shabadabadoo~ more than makes up for it though. Great graduation song, might well be the best yet.

[Menno]

Shabadabadoo made me laugh out loud.

[Daisuki Daiiyo]

Shabadabadoo is so wonderful, it reminds me of early Ayaya PVs. And the song is adorable, I said on twitter that it's kind of like bossa/lounge music meets EDM lol. I really love the lyrics, arrangement, and PV just everthing about Mikaeri Bijin. It's such a wonderful send off song for Sayumi. Her walking past the rays of light from the windows is a really beautiful shot.

[TotallyUncool]

All three songs are great, each in its own way -- this just seems like such a triple-home-run single. And I love everything about Mikaeri Bijin -- it seems like one of those rare songs that's an instant sentimental favorite from the moment that you hear the first notes.

Between the PV itself and the color theory that avanpiper posted, I get the feeling that Mikaeri Bijin isn't just about Sayu (although I don't want to take anything away from how much it is about her) -- she's the last Morning Musume member who was in the group with any of the original members, so in a way, this marks the end of an era as much as Kaori's graduation (and the end of the Hello!Morning/Haromoni era as well).

The end of an era -- but (it goes without saying these days) hardly the end of the new/reborn Morning Musume...

SHABADABADOOO OMG
WHY AREN'T ALL H!P SINGLES LIKE THIS?!?!?!
Also the fucking translation/lyrics kills the PV. That's the ONE pv they DON'T work with.
H!P should adopt a "make all your damn mv's like shabadabadoo and mikaeri bijin" policy.

I totally didn't notice the envelope colors. o.o (and also the outfits for mikaeri are cool imo.)

[Moh]

While I like Shabadabadoo~, I actually like it the least out of the three songs.
Mikaeri Bijin, though... That song is just amazing to me. I'm itching to hear the full version.

[Jessi]

No lie Sayumi's PV is one of my favorites of all H!P

Sayu needs a solo career. Please Sayu! I will be your supporter

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

It's amazing how bipolar the songs are.
You have SUPER HAPPY FUN FUN JAZZY Shabadabadoo
and then SUPER SAD MAKE YOU CRY Mikaeri Bijin.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

"Shabadabadoo" made me think of Betty Boop, which I love. Thumbs up for most of this single.

I really don't like the line "Aa Aa Mottainai yo Ii Onna. It sounds condescending but other than that I like the lyrics.
