I'm so glad they didn't screw that up with FaT BeATz, lame H!P "riffing," rearrangement, reharmonization, or whatever, just a straight re-cover of one of my all time favorite songs by any group. It sounds just as good as the original. (Yokoyan got a little slighted with the line coverage tho.

) The girls all look amazing, and I like how they do a callback to the varsity jackets from the original PV from 2000. Ikuta's blonde hair even sorta echoes Nakazawa's hair from back then. Speaking of Ponpon, here's a mind-blowing thing. The two of them have now been in Morning Musume for as long as the entire time from the original debut of "I Wish" to when they joined MM. In other words:
2000: I wish
11 years
2011: Ponpon join MM
11 years
2022: I wish
