Momusu will be back on Utaban 02/02/2010 ~!!!!

Mark your calendars and set your egg timers! Morning Musume will appear again in UTABAN~!!!

The current 8 member lineup

It has two long years since Morning Musume's last appearance on Utaban. Why is that? Is it mainly because of the current Momusu members seem to be younger and not suitable for Taka-san's taste? Is it because the best members were gone and the current did give so much flavour to him? Whatever the reason, next week on Utaban, Morning Musume may have to give it another shot to give a lasting impression to the Utaban crew.

Morning had a long history in Utaban and was apparently the most look forward guest back in their hayday. What stemed from their each appearances of the show was to bring out each member's personalities and almost make a lasting 'recurring joke', like Johnson and Konakki jijii. As a younger fan of Momusu, watching their old episodes, while watching them play seat deciscion games, pick on Kei-chan, and generally tease all the members at the same time was an absolute blast experiencing the show.

But after a many gradutations of Taka-san's favourite members, Taka-san had almost little compatibility relating to the newer members. This then resulted to shorter talks and screen time in the show and the attention divert more on special side guests while Momusu can mostly watch. I really hope this pattern doesn't repeat this time around.

Q: Am I excited?
A: Yes!

Q: How will it turn out?
A: I don't know...

In my opinion, Morning Musume had slowly rose up since their Onna ga Sachi Are lineup. And during this time, the members have more variety to their personalities and popularity. This is what I hope Taka-san should see how much they have grown. Since now they putting back again their image back on the show business world as they strive to be number one again.

Now for something oddly related to the latest Momusu news:

1) Did ya notice since Morning Musume's current lineup comparing to the lineup when they first debuted for the first time? They both have 8 members!! SHOCK SHOCK!!!

Morning Musume in their first appearance
in Utaban having 8 members

2) Relating to the previous note, comparing to their first appearance and the day they'll appear next week:

First appearance: 2nd June, 1998
Next week's appearance: 2nd February, 2010

The number TWO!!! ...yeah thats all.

As fans for wishing MM back on Utaban, and myself included, this upcoming episode will be goood. I hope this episode will turn out good for the girls, meaning I hope they get picked on alot (that's pretty much how they got popular in the first place, yeah?). I'll enjoy this more once the subs are immediately made after it airs. May Momusu have more appearances in the future XD~

Here's this week's episode of NooBToob. It's quite a funny episode especially the voicemail section. I have to warn people though that this podcast is explicit. Meaning there are rare terminology that are mentioned during the show that are NSFW (Not Safe For Work). Especially this episode. Other than that, enjoy the show~!

BUS COME ON! review

Q: What do you get if you mix a popular nation wide j-pop group with a bunch of hand-drawn maps, some money, a cellphone, and get stranded in the most tropical island in the world?

A: You get one of my most favorite vids in my Morning Musume 101 experience last year: Alo-Hello! 2~~!

Egao Yes Nude lineup

I dont remember exactly how i got to know the existence of this video but i was glad watching it. This video helped me get to know some of the members that I'm not too familiar with at the time. All i can do is to sit there and watch in awe on the adventures they're having and wishing i was with them at the time.

First of all, i want to give a shout out to H!F for subbing this Momusu vid.

The beginning part of the vid was mostly alot of the girls having fun in a water park in Hawaii. Since i guess they were finishing up after taking photos for their photobooks (i guess) and they needed to get some well deserved fun. And during this time, they decided on who's going with who for tomorrow's special activity. It was probably gonna be interesting since some of the pairs were Eri-Koharu, Reina-Sayu and Yossie-Gaki-san. It couldn't be too challenging for the following day for them right?

The activity was having Momusu split into 2-man groups and one staying at the 'home base'. The groups are then separated in a car ride to different locations in Oahu Island. The idea was for each group make their way back to the home base, Tantalus, via their individual highlight spots and buy souviners with the money that the staff have provided. They are required to take alot of photos during their trip and try to use as much English they can utter. The girls arrived to their own starting points, hilarity ensues.

This vid was an absolute blast to watch. We can all watch our favorite members handle on their own while communicating to the locals with Engrish. Right at the start, Yossie was giving Gaki-san a bit of grief by about to spend a chunk of their money on taxi rides! glad they didnt though lolz~

poor Gaki-san... Mikitty to the rescue!

The Ai-Mitsui team had a few hiccups at the start by heading two different ways. Their first location was to reach to a small mountain and take a scenic photo of the ocean. But instead walked to the beach instead then later climbed the wrong mountain. EL-Oh-EL!

It's a map

Eri and Koharu didnt have too much touble starting off. But when it comes to waiting for buses...... waiting can be a trying thing.

Bus come on

There wasnt much too interesting to say about the Reina-Sayu team without spoiling anything. they had the most time waiting to go to their locations and the most time taken to complete their appointed task. But while on the way, they might as well make the most of it.

Who doesn't like strawberry and lychee tapioca drinks?

This vid was something i had wished had done if i had alot of spare time doing. i dont really mind getting lost and try to make my way back. But lucky for them, they can call Mikitty at anytime while the cameraman cant say anything to help the girls (but i bet they did anyway). Spending one day by themselves can be very trying for these girls but both them and us fans can enjoy every moment of it.

It's both hilarious and crazy when Morning Musume are seen as tourists. So if you havent watch this, watch it now!

I give this vid a thumbs up~

2010 ~~!!!!
