Lol did Sakura fall backwards while coming down the stairs? xD Yoko and Haruka interacting in the background hahaha. Ohkura doing the old Love Machine choreo and sad puppy looking Nishikido in the background~ I'm really glad Momusu performed on Music Station ;u; <3

actually not much of a morning musume fan (love michishige though) but i somehow feel glad that they reached nr.1 with around 150000 singles sold. i think that's great after existing for so long with many different members

Do they always need to remind everyone who they are by singing a classic (or a creepy updated one) before singing their recent single? idk why Tsunku was so gung-ho about renaming them if he's just going to keep them doing the same patterns.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but while older songs are fine in concert, on music shows, with limited time, I'd think people would want to see something new. Why not sing two new singles? This revamped version of Love Machine isn't anything remarkable, so why keep giving it airtime?

New song is cute. I'd like to head the other A-sides.

It could be easily that they are required to perform an old classic by the bosses of the show that invites them. They don't seem to perform their old music before promoting a newer release when they go to smaller shows that probably wouldn't have the authority to dictate them what to perform. Or not.)

Unfortunately, until MM gets another big hit like 'Love Machine' they'll probably be asked by the producers of the shows to continue singing the song. Sayumi talked about it a year or two back that she wished the new MM would get to perform their current songs without having to also perform a song from the Golden Era. Hopefully they'll be able to become more relevant, and won't have to rely on 'Love Machine' to make the public remember the name of the group.

Okay I need to start paying attention to MoMusu again. These girls are trying so hard and they've become so professional. Fantastic teamwork, too. Also Sakura Oda = best thing to happen in like 10 years to MoMusu, I swear.
