Morning Musume. '25 [75TH SINGLE "Ki ni naru Sono Ki no Uta / Akaruku ii Ko" on 7/2 ; Eripon's Last Single]

[sukibeam]

My first thoughts: the stylists did Okamura dirty.

I actually really like the song, for the most part. It feels like a harken back to Silver or Platinum Era (except for the awkward EDM robo-breakdown).

Not bad. Not great, but alright.

I'm only disappointed that Eripon vs "Getter" was so short and then that was all we got. That's exactly the sort of stupid thing I want in my Momusu videos.

I’m wonder, if it’s part of the dance, if Eripon will be battling off different members?

[Sohee]

Tsunku Chaos. Both song and PV.
I love it

It's not my favorite of theirs, but they've also had worse songs, so... I guess I like it?

The filter on the video bugs me, but I've been feeling this way about every MV from H!P over the last year. I can't explain it but all the girls look washed out.

I love it. It's a refreshing sound from Tsunku that doesn't sound like recycled sound bytes. The MV has really ambitious green screen scenes.

The only downside is the song is too long still. No one got time to listen to a 4 minute song these days to keep us engaged.

I don't love the song or the MV, but I do like parts of both and the costumes. Hoping I like the other song more.

Akaruku ii Ko MV dropped

Is there a subtle nod to who the next leader will be?
