Song
I wasn't really listening to this song when it first came out. I was afraid it was going to be bad (and that at my college they didn't really let us download stuff... so I waited until I saw the PV... but I did sorta occasionally hear this song from my roommate's computer.) It really sounds like an old song. They sorta went back to some of the Golden Age sounds. It has a sense of present sounds and an reminisce of the old songs. It's a bit catchy and now I can't stop listening to it. Mikan... it means Mandarin Orange but I'm confused what the title has to do with the song at all... Anyone wanna tell me?
Alright so the song has everyone but the Chinese members have at least one solo line. Obviously Ai takes on the lead with the most lines. Sayumi this time wasn't shafted like in Onna ni Sache Are. I have to admit the song is really really catchy... I'm watching the video at the same time while typing this. There is at least one bad thing about this song... too much Ai (I like her and all but she just can't just keep taking all the lines) I want more Pandas! I like how Aika gets solo lines in the songs she's been in. <3
The group looks to me like the first 9-nin Morning Musume (The Peace!). They're in 3 lines of 3 and it really reminds me of The Peace! or Egao Yes Nude... *blinks* The outfits they wear... they look the same and it sometimes leave me confused on who's who. They all have black and brown hair... it makes it confusing sometimes (even with Ai's short hair...) The outfits... they remind me of another outfit they wore... I think it was at a concert though... There's a BIG Mikan in the background though... anyone want to explain that to me? Throughout the whole PV, they're split into smaller groups. Ai + JunJun + Aika, Risa + Eri + Koharu, Reina + Sayumi + LinLin. Then Aika + Koharu are in a little group and everything else is the WHOLE group or individuals. I think the most I like from the PV is on the screens on the buildings, showing the younger versions of the members in the group. I must admit LinLin hasn't changed much from the video... Hm...... There's more to this but I'm really sleepy!
