Hi again!
I'm trying to get lots of blog posts in here and on IW as Thanksgiving break's finally given me the chance to do so.
I heard Lady Marmalade on the radio yesterday, and I looked up the music video. Then it hit me. Why shouldn't Morning Musume cover it? There's no reason not to, so why should they do it? I'll explain here.
3. They've already done a cover song, and this one is more of a contemporary AND a disco hit.
Sure, sure. They've done a cover album, a cover version of a Japanese pop hit, and I think they've covered enough other songs to last a carrer on TV, but this would be a cover that they hadn't done: a cover of a cover that was a HUGE hit worldwide, and won a grammy. By covering Lady Marmalade, they could not only get more Japanese fans, but it's highly likely that they'll get more publicity in other countries too, even it's only just a small 20-second segment on the news or a 2-sentence mention on an entertainment blog. Any publicity of any amount is good publicity, right? Considering how popular this song is, a Japanese cover could also boost sales for the single in Japan.
2. The musical style is something new for Morning Musume, and it could lead to a new type of music for them
Morning Musume hasn't really done anything truly sexy music-wise. Sure, they do put out suggestive photobooks, and they often don't wear more than miniskirts or short-shorts on the bottom, and some of those dance moves... But, something that's mature and sexy anyway you put it, like Lady Marmalade might help them get into the sexy music. Because Kimagure Princess was a really sad attempt at trying to look sexy. They have to learn that you can't just say you're sexy and think that it will work. You have to dress in what looks like corsets and short-shorts, look the part of sexy, and sing sexily. They've already got the sexy look down from photobooks, so why can't they get a chance to master the art of singing sexily. It's not like their youngest member isn't almost 17. They're old enough to handle that sexy music, so give it to them.
1. The Fan-Factor
Oh, come on. What wota of the male gender wouldn't want to see their favorite Musume singing what essentially means: "Why don't you come sleep with me tonight?" And the wotas would probably be intensely happy with the whole "I'm sexy" act that actually worked. Also, AKB's strategy of getting their girls dressed up in what would normally be called accessorized underwear has been working very well. Hello Morning Musume, you only have one girl under 18 now... Also, I'm sure that the female fans can appreciate Momusu doing a cover of a song sung by one of the biggest tween sensations of the '90's. There's also an Takahashi Ai and Linlin to belt, which I'm sure all fans and non-fans of Momusu can appreciate thoroughly.

Francisco Rodriguez died yesterday, he was a Venezuelan boxer. He was 25 years old. You can read the full article here.
I have to read the bible, and I have to read it slowly to get more of it/be less violent. I think I should start with the New Testament. There's still H1N1 going around, so please wash your hands often. I'm going to buy the domain blog this week and keep this blog for archival purposes. The music of the day? Here.
this news makes me almost cry when i read it
as ARASHIAN and SMAPPIES i felt very extremely happy
HAPPY MAX!!!!!!!!
yes...!!
ARASHI will perform in Kouhaku 2009-2010
this is the best achievement for them since their debut in 1999
I've been waiting so long for this
somehow i remember my most favourite gathering between my forum (Arashindo) and SMANESIA (SMAP forum) in 2007
we named it SMARASHI Gathering
at first people may think that's little weird
we combined and merged 2 fandoms and having fun together
but it was very fun
there was a little secret that :
MOST of SMAPPIES are ARASHI fans^^
hahahhaa...
They love Ohno-Nakai fights, Jun's style, Nino's acting, Aiba's dorkiness, and Sho's charm XD
we laughed and played games together with senpais
what a great time!!
now, it is become real when I know the news
we will be able to see ARASHI and SMAP perform in SAME STAGE~!!
*cry happily*
AAAAAAHH...
gotta call all of them asap
i think we will watching Kouhaku together XDDD
And supporting both of our lovely groups
URESHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~~
thanks GOD
thanks NHK ^________________^

I think this ''quote'' means different for each individual...There are allot of different ways to interpret it.

Planet Funk is one of my absolute favourite artists... I listen to their songs whenever i need to relax or get inspiration for something(s). Especially when i draw/design clothes :) My mother doesnt like them... We argue allot about my music style. xD I love all kind of music, (I have a huge ''music world'') my mother on the other behalf has a verry... limited ''music world'' xD Hhaha~
