Fujimoto Miki - ‘Okitegami’ (Preview)

Posted under Hello Project, Morning Musume, Uncategorized by Aece McCloud

Fujimoto Miki is planning to release her new single and a performance is very recently posted on Hello!Blog and DohhUP! site. A few things lacking in her performance if we try to compare it with Aya Matsuura. Can anyone remember Aya’s very first performance and how she was nervous? It was for Doki Doki Love Mail and she performed in front of hundreds of people encouraging her.

With that image set in mind it is indeed very late for Fujimoto to start a solo career as she cannot support herself alone, and will always require a companion artist. It is bad timing for her and she should be careful about her next steps because any failures are only going to cost her more. Please be careful Fujimoto and do not take any steps unless you are sure it is going to work and you won’t end up saying goodbye to the singing career.

On a side note there are a few pictures released of Goto Maki smoking a cigarette but yet it is not confirmed if it was a real ciggy or the ‘menthol’ ones pretending to be cool. Many fans are discussing on HelloOnline and I would highly suggest to not take it seriously. It is very common for celebrities to take alcohol and cigarettes and its not big deal and a lot of celebrities mature.

However, this is not the case with Morning Musume or Hello!Project as the members or the fans are taking it seriously. It will only make certain of the impossibility of her come back in Hello!Project and that is very disturbing, at least for me. The Japanese media is extremely mature and can hurt the celebrities and its the responsibility of the Hello!Project members to stay safe and no one can help if such images continue to appear.

The new Morning Musume single ‘Resonant Blue’ is not growing out of proportions compared to Mikan. There is a hip beat to it but that is not enough as the last three singles including ‘Resonant Blue’ are more focused on the fast beat, just as I suspected before release of Onna ni Sachi Are. It shouldn’t be like that; Morning Musume MUST release a few slow numbers and UFA & Tsunku are not doing their job. They should learn how to play with strategy and use it carefully. They are promoting more in Korea and Taiwan once again possibly recruiting a few more girls from those places after recruiting Jun Jun and Lin Lin. There may also be some pressure from fans and other people from these countries for pushing Tsunku in globalising Morning Musume members.
There is another possibility since the inception of the group, the mass scale of Morning Musume is not easily managed by Tsunku alone as the most popular hits were produced in the initial years. Keep that in mind, any production of later hits are only timely released and were well produced before. That means sometimes production companies have to keep a few secrets in bag before they release it at a suitable time. And that may also be the reason One for All and All for One doesn’t include Koharu in the music video.

Here is a small clip of mugen I found on Youtube to make you all happy.

Don’t stress out and keep on believing!
