New Morning Musume PV! It's nothing terribly original and some of the shots are straight out of Utada Hikaru's "Colours" (which I insist on spelling however I like!), but even so I love it! Due to my recently revived Michael Jackson obsession, the first time I watched "Nanchatte Renai" was also the first time I heard the song, and it's so much better than I was imagining, haha. xD; The rapping feels really out of place to me but I love the choruses and the "nande nan darou" parts. I am happy to report that MoMusu's recent releases have all been really strong - I love "Shou ga Nai Yume Oibito" (what a shocker though to hear MoMusu singing about how there's "a wall called reality" - whatever happened to be up and doing future is mine??) and MJ's death was basically the only thing that could've knocked Platinum 9 Disc out of my CD player, that album was my jam for like two months. <33

Man, I need to start studying for the JLPT again. D:

In more important news, thanks to the epicness that is the Michael Jackson Friending Meme (my comment is here, if anyone else thinks they'd find amusement in reading it), I'd like to say welcome to all the new people on my friendslist! :D Hopefully you find my LJ at least passably interesting. xD;

And to connect the two topics of this entry, I think I'll link to this 13nin Morning Musume performance, in which, at about two minutes in, they somehow manage to segue from the end of their song "Love Machine" right to the best part of MJ's "Thriller." xDDD
