Everyone, stop talking about Resonant Blue.
I've heard all sorts of crap about how people don't like Resonant Blue, or they love Resonant Blue, or Manoeri should sing Resonant Blue, or Eri's graduating because of the "Scandal." And here's what I have to say to everyone:
SHUT UP.
I will be the first to admit that Mikan was amazing. I loved it. It brought me back to the Koko ni Iruzee days, when the members were just skipping around singing about happiness and the importance of love and stuff, not the stuff they sung about in the MoMusu 'dry spell' that I refer to as the period between Ambitious! and Onna ni Sachi Are. I really hated Kanashimi Twilight and Aruiteru. Egao was good, but it reminds me of the color grey. Those three singles were just fuzzy and kind of a small coffee stain on on the pages of Morning Musume, to me at least. That was 'sexy Morning Musume,' which, if I'm not mistaken, hasn't really worked for them in the past. Tanpopo was 'classy' in it's sexiness for the first generation, but it slowly evolved into a cute but mature sound for Kago, Niigaki and Konno. v-u-den tried the 'sexy' look and their sales plummeted after their third single. Goto Maki has just been a bad memory for Hello! Project, as of late. So I would like to say to everyone who's heard the radio rip for Resonant Blue:
CALM DOWN.
WAIT FOR THE PV.
IT'LL ALL BE OKAY. HELLO! PROJECT WON'T COLLAPSE.
Right now, Wonderful Hearts are all that Hello! Project has. I desperately hope they get a new soloist or group in the near future to liven up Wonderful Hearts, or even a cheerful soloist to slap the Elder Club in the face and make them see that life doesn't stop at 22.
And as a special treat, I'll give you an AKB48 PV.
