Haven't listened to Momusu since the splendid song Do it! now. Absolutely the best from them! the PV is splendid and the tune too! Prolly the most mature themed PV from Momusu compared to their previous childlish PVs. Momusu is at lost since Maki left the group.
Do it! now was out 2 years, time sure flies. I still haven't watched the 2002 Summer concert. As for the current Momusu, I have no idea.

*currently watchin Love Revolution 21 PV*

Btw Gotta fancy Maki's renowned nose

Quote:

Tsuji's Surprise Dance Lessons had me on the floor!!

the best were :
-how manu members are in morning musume
-trust me
-and of course the two classics : NONO'S TOTSUGEKI DANSINGU 1&2
*boomshakka boomshakka bommshakka boomshakka*

my personal favorite is goto maki

i got a collection of vid. clips and music video of her.

i like the video of Pucchi Moni - Baby! Koi ni Knock Out and shiawase

and the clip about the aya togetski(i hope i'm right) when she teaches goto maki to say in english about the drunk old woman.

Tanpopo - sub group, maybe dead, haven't released anything for awhile. Pucchi Moni- sub group,maybe dead, haven't released anything for awhile. Gomattou - The soloist group (oxymoron?), Goto Maki, Matsuura Aya and Fujimoto Miki. Maybe dead, only one single and nothing for a quite a while. Aa! - A couple of H!P kids lead by momusu's Tanaka Reina ZYX - More H!P kids lead by momusu's Yaguchi Mari

Point 1 - Subgroups are never dead because they're a part of Morning Musume. Tanpopo and Pucchimoni have been inactive over the past year but there will still be future releases unless Tsunku goes crazy and announces that the subgroups are shut down for good

Tanpopo
1st generation - Mari Yaguchi, Kaori Iida, Aya Ishiguro.
2nd generation - Mari Yaguchi, Kaori Iida, Rika Ishikawa, Ai Kago.
3rd generation - Rika Ishikawa, Asami Konno, Risa Niigaki, Ayumi Shibata.

Pucchimoni
1st generation - Maki Goto, Kei Yasuda, Sayaka Ichii.
2nd generation - Maki Goto, Kei Yasuda, Hitomi Yoshizawa.
3rd generation - Hitomi Yoshizawa, Makoto Ogawa, Ayaka Kimura.

-------------

Point 2 - Gomattou functions as a "step ground" for Aya, Miki and Maki's fresh solo career (at that time). Tsunku uses the "Gomattou" bit to promote Aya's 2nd album, Miki's 1st album and Maki's 1st album.

-------------

Point 3 - Here's the member list for Aa! and ZYX:

(Aa!) Reina Tanaka, Airi Suzuki, Miyabi Natsuyaki.
(ZYX) Mari Yaguchi, Erika Umeda, Momoko Tsugunaga, Saki Shimizu, Maimi Yajima, Megumi Murakami.

And you forgot ROMANS (a sexy-imaged new group based on "Sexy Onna Jyuuku") - Mari Yaguchi, Rika Ishikawa, Mai Satoda, Ayaka Kimura, Hitomi Saito.

Whoa! Unfortunately I saw the hair before the face as I scrolled down, and I thought to myself, when did Kimura Takuya wear a yellow suit in Love Generation Gomen gomen! (to all Takuya fans: hey, I love Kimura Takuya ok! )

But it's a really nice pic!

LOL... Does Yossui look like Kimutaku in that angle? I thought that's one of the sweetest and most romantic HP pic ever....

That's a screencap from the MM pv "Mr Moonlight ~Ai no Big Band~" where Yossi dresses up like a guy

Anyone can probably guess that I like Ayaya the most...........

Other than Ayaya, Mikitty, Nacchi and Charmy are very good too IMO....especially Charmy.

Whoopsie, forgot about ROMANS. Maybe Tsunko will forget about them also? IMO they had the worse H!P song this year.
