-Maasa isn't there ;_;.
-Not sure how I feel about Kacchoii Uta.
-I love Choto Mate Kudasai! so much <3. Meimei <3. Also Takechan keeps going down in my rankings... I don't even know why.
-The Dokidoki Baby! outfit is so cuteee <333. Mano has improved so much since her Ongaku Gatas days.
-Not a fan of ℃-ute's new single . Looking forward to Maimai's solo version though.

First part was really bad.

The newbies dance looked disappointing because of the camera shots and stuff. They focussed on the weaker dancers more like Kana a lot too ><


I also heard Yuuka during the Busu ni Naranai Tetsugaku performance, and she wasnt even there. Did she provide the chorus for it? :S

Kachoii Uta was awesome!

[Amped]

that Kacchoii Uta performance shows how amazing Mobekimasu is.

Gaki was really cool in Kiseki no Kaori dance.

the former Eggs (Mano, Dawa, Kanon, Take-chan, Rina, Fuku-chan, Haruka) performance was nostalgic.

25.【Medley】Genkimono de ikou!～Dance de bakoon!～Onaji jikyuu de hataraku tomodachi no bijin mama～Icchoume rock～Koko ni iru zee!／All


this medley was really fun. need more Mobekimasu medleys.

Riho in Glass no Pumps was awesome..
Her voice sounded freaking awesome and her dance..

no.1 H!P girl for me after Gaki.
Her voice keeps improving every new concert! Or is it just me being biased? . I DON'T THINK SO.
I don't like Ayumi's singing voice... But I know she will improve. She's my 2nd fav 10th gen. So she has too Lol.
I want to watch the 10th gen performance already!

[AyuHikaru]

I think 10th gen did VERY well, but they looked really green (That's to be expected right? They are very new). Masaki's low voice is a treat and I would prefer she use that in recording (I thought her line in Kanashiki Koi no Melody was jarring because she went so high). All the girls can sing, none of them went out of tune - which is rare for a gen, really.
Haruna is the weakest singer, but it's because her singing voice is soft, once she learns power I think she'll be very strong. She has no experience singing at all (Unlike the other three) so I'm actually expecting good things from her. She's behind everyone right now, but she's working REALLY hard (As it's mentioned in like, everyone's blog ). Give her a year and I'll think the world is going to be surprised. I love her determination <3
Ayumi is a powerhouse and Riho is right in saying she's her rival, I honestly think in 6 months Ayumi is probably going to pass Riho in terms of singing and performing. This isn't to say Riho is bad, it's just that Ayumi is THAT good. She's pretty amazing, really.
Masaski, as per usual, reminds me of Eri. She has a good voice there, but she's shy and it will take a couple years for her to fully develop herself. She doesn't have the Eri trademark sweetness in her voice, but her voice is really good. I feel like Eri was hiding her good voice for many years, till she hit about 16 or 17, I think the same may happen for Masaki. I love her though, I think Masaki is boss. My roommate is a HUGE Masaki fan, so it's nice to see she's getting support.
Haruka was good, but I expected more coming from an egg. That's sad to talk like that about a 12 year old, but it's true. I think Haruka is good overall and OMG I LOVE her voice - honestly her voice is probably my favorite out of 10th gen, I just want to see her pop a little more. I don't think she's shining as much as the rest of her gen yet, but I expect good things from her.
I call 10th Gen the gen that's full of potential, Tsunku was right on the money picking these girls - they are good.

New S/mileage Members:
Rina is a good singer, but her stage presence is lacking. I don't know she kinda fades into the background.
I know a lot of people love Akari, but I find her a bit lacking at well. Her singing is okay, her dancing is GREAT. I really don't like her hair either
Kana is the shy one of the group and it shows. She's the weakest singer and dancer, I think she's improving but right now I think she's happy being in the back.
There's something really special about Meimi. She's a decent singer and really good dancer, but there's something more about her that makes you want to watch her. She really seems to enjoy performing, isn't shy at all, and shines to the point of blinding. She is definitely someone to watch out for.

9th Gen
The one thing that bothers me the most about 9th gen is that 3 out of 4 of them are kind of shy or quiet, HOWEVER
Mizuki is a good singer. I've heard it say she's not, but I really think she is. From a Technical standpoint she is as well. I think where people get thrown is she's not really fun to watch, so you're not paying attention to her singing that closely. She really needs to smile or something when she's performing.
Erina is probably the worst singer of 9th (and 10th) Gen, and she's a pretty good dancer, but, like Mizuki, she lacks expression when she's performing.
Riho is amazing. Really. Especially when you put her next to two people who don't really "Perform" she's blowing people out of the water. She's a good singer live (I'm waiting to hear Renai Hunter to see if she's good recorded now) and she's a great performer - she'll smile, glare, her eyes sing the lines with her and that's great. Riho is a veteran and it shows.
Kanon is so underrated is makes me angry . She's got expression, she performs well, and she sings well. She's also the only one in her gen who started off not shy or quiet. I mean, compared to Riho she's kinda Hurfdurf, but she's definitely second in her gen. I honestly can't believe how much she's improved.

[DARC1993]

Eripon, Meimi and Masaki love Gaki

I don't like how some people are underestimating the new H!P gen.
Especially 9th gen. The Baby! Koi ni knock out! By them was really good.
They have only been here for a year+ a few months and they have improved hella!
Not just because new generations joined it means they automatically have to be Ai-chan/Gaki level.
I know that Ai left some big shoes to fill by they are doing fine w/o her.

Riho>>>>Ayumi.
I love Ayumi. But no. Haha.

[AyuHikaru]

Morning Musume is in great hands with these new girls, that's for sure. 9th and 10th gen are very good overall

Also Ayumi > Riho

[Sohee]

Not watching until I have it downloaded. xD

Buuuuut. 9th gen > 10th gen in my book. Not to say that I don't like 10th (esp Masaki omg <3) but 9th will be difficult to pass. Having that said, I think Erina has come out of her shell quite a lot, and I absolutely loved her "Kuchizuke shitai" (or whatever those lines are ) in KnockOut. She's improving both singing-wise and dance-wise. And like most people who aren't the best singers, she sounds better when singing low. Can't wait until Kanon starts learning to handle her voice better, too. *-*

[Panic Nancy]

If Maasa was out, then this was recorded right after Haruka returned from being sick with the flu, so she probably wasn't at 100%. Also, I don't understand why people expect so much from the eggs. Lots of them were/are awful. Anyway, I think that Riho was a better singer when she first joined than Ayumi is now, so I don't know if she can pass her in that respect. But in dancing/performing, sure. She's already almost good as she is. Also, I hope that Masaki doesn't turn out to be an Eripon (i.e. switching back and forth between a deep voice and a high voice). I like consistency. But I'm pretty happy with the way things are turning out with everybody. And I hope that Haruka and Masaki start getting lines. Their voices are really pleasant to hear.

[Parhelion69]

Haruka had a cold just before the broadcast, that's why she wan't that great, she didn't recover fully. By watching more performances, Riho only lip-synced on Pyoko Ultra, her voice is the same as the recording, but on the other ones she was live, you can tell because her voice has low volume, is cracky at times and she even squealed a bit in one (she said in her radio show that she strained her throat and lost her voice), if it was pre-recorded they'd have used a recording when her voice was fine.

In Glass no Pumps, while they didn't have vocals as good as Maki's, they did the dancing MUCH better than Goto ever did. They're all excellent dancers, except Chisato who is good but you can easily tell not as much as the rest (Captain, Riho, Takechan, Ayumi), but was there because of her vocals.

Ayumi isn't better than Riho in any performing skills just yet, it may change in the future though.

Masaki is getting very comfortable in the group and she's improved a lot since the audition days, so any criticism that she doesn't work hard enough is laughable. Beware Ayumi and Haruka, she could jump over you two if you let her...


It's a shame the concert was recorded when all this happened: Haruka sick, Riho strained her throat, Maasa sick and Zukki also seemed to have voice problems. When we had the first concert audio recordings, they were all perfect
