The current 8 member lineupIt 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 appearancein Utaban having 8 members
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~
Awesome! I love watching Momusu on Utaban. There have been so many hilarious moments. I really hope Ishibashi takes a liking to at least one of them. That seems to be the trick to longer appearances - even if, like Kei they get tortured. Do you think they'd be able to laugh it off like she did?

ReplyDeleteHard to tell now since coming from the sources from the OGs blogs, the OGs were now also invited for Utaban. It may be like another 'reunion' clip show again. However I'm still hopeful, since the current Momusu lineup are more mature and more funny that Taka-san shouldn't be able to ignore them. Gotta wait till next week :/
