[8/19] Morning Musume。'15 59th single - Oh my wish!/Sukatto My Heart/Ima Sugu Tobikomu Yuuki

[sb]

I had to watch Oh My Wish a few times before I felt I could properly comment.

First as a song it's alright. The speaking part I could've done without. It goes into the decent pile.

As for the girls I like Zukki of course. Yes, everything is pointing towards her favor (styled the best, ample camera time, half of her threats relegated to background dancing) but she doesn't try and do too much for the most part. She let her looks do the talking. Her scene towards the end where she stands with Haruka and then looks like she breaks concentration and goes into laughter is cute. Haruna surprisingly isn't awkward, Sakura is doing her thing, and while I don't like her hair Masaki did well. Haruka.... she's my second favorite member, but she got too much camera time. There's times when she tried way too hard, or looked confused. Yea she was pretty in the sitting down parts but Haruka's a great bench player, not a starter.

Then there's 12th gen. I don't need to see these girls this much. Every single one of them is blank and soulless. Even when they do something (like Maria's... move) it comes off as robotic. And I wanna give them the benefit of the doubt but I remember the potential 9th gen brought, the energy 10th brought, and the impact ANGERME's 3rd gen is bringing and I can't help but to start to compare. The previous girls already at this point added. 12th gen right now subtracts. They're far away from having a positive impact and should be bubble rapped and stored until they are better.

I feel like 12th Gen is almost having the problem 6th was when they joined - sitting behind one of the most charismatic lineups and not really stepping up to the plate like they should. Maybe they don't really know how to? Look at their peers man, those are some of the most charismatic and talented members MM has ever seen, it is going to ridiculously hard to get out of their shadow. UF* really needs to work with them more.

Maybe it'll be better for Miki in Ima Sugu.

Maybe instead of pairing them up with the other gens, why don't they make a song that's 12th-gen related? They haven't done that yet. There hasn't been a "12th gen show-off song" yet. I think they need that

[jeiwa42]

Idk how 6th gen went when they started, but I feel 12 gen is doing a steady job at their situation. The back girls of the group are just starting to feel the front just now, so I feel that's why it's not as easy for 12 gen to suddenly pop out. Tbh, I was surprised they already let Miki co-lead a song, while it took, for example, Kanon of 9th gen this entire time to step out from the shadows in an A-side (minus their debut song).
If we're comparing them to Angerme's 3rd gen, that's...almost unfair 2/3 of them being awesomely experienced and popular already on debut and Maho being magical in her own way despite the lack of experience, as well as the # of members in their group is smaller, they can lead a song and not be overshadowed in other songs.
Miki co-lead, Ogata and Akane speaking solos, and Maria reportedly having a solo in Sukatto, as well as all of them having good amount of solo shots in Oh My Wish PV so far, I personally feel they're at a good pace right now, and that management is simply giving the older girls first dibs
