You stupid monkeys!
Being an idol is so easy a monkey can do it.
Being a monkey is so easy an idol can do it.
So does this means that a million idols typing at a million typewriters for an infinite amount of time can type out the complete works of William Shakespeare?
Finding some silver lining beneath this mess they call “Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance” will be hard, but I’ll try…
No, it wasn’t worth watching. In fact, I decided that I wasn’t going to watch it this week and go do something productive.
Yah right, I wish.
In this round:
4. Kanna Arihara vs. 13. Saki Shimizu
5. JunJun vs. 12. Mai Hagiwara
I like Dschinghis Khan. That is, I like the German pop band. Truthfully, I only know two songs that they have done. The song Dschinghis Khan and Moskau. Moskau is the better of the two. The star of the band, Louis Hendrik Potgieter, was charismatic enough that I’d watch him doing almost anything. I can imagine him reading the daily newspaper dancing like he does in Moskau. It is a fantastic little scene in my head.
I like Koi no Dance Site. Morning Musume’s 8th single was fun. It was goofy and wacky. However, it all worked. Despite acting like goofs, there was a charm to it. It was a very different music video as it incorporated odd sets, many costume changes and a great deal of editing to achieve some special effects. Somehow, it fit the song, which involved a lot of nonsense “Ba ba bon’s” and “Uh ha’s.”
But I’m not so sure if I like Berryz Koubou’s Dschinghis Khan.
Paul Thomas is a TLS HERO! I’ve been holding off rankings for a while. But I have no reason not to now.
Also, I know that Paul is going to do rankings based on everyone voting in his poll. However, I am interested in my rankings compared to other International Wota bloggers. Therefore, I’ve figured out which bloggers have the closest rankings to me.
When a group like Berryz Koubou or C-ute releases a single, the goal isn’t to make good music but music that will sell. It would be nice for both to be true. It is not always going to happen though. These two groups are on the verge of releasing singles that, based on their own merits, cannot possible sell well. That is just based on the music. People will buy these singles though. They will buy them because they “support” their group.
What a wacky world we live in.
A few weeks before the 58th Kouhaku aired, I had a conversation about what was probably going to happen on it. What I wanted from the show was very simple. No Love Machine. I figured that there is no good reason to remind people that the 8 members who performed that song were all long gone. However, I got a surprising counterargument and I conceded, Morning Musume should perform Love Machine at Kouhaku.
But it was still boring.
