Hello! Project Love: 「ふるさと」

To be honest, this blog post was going to be a Furusato post, but I might turn it into a Roman ~My Dear Boy~ or Sexy Boy ~Soyokaze ni Yorisotte~ post? I was searching up Furusato videos to add to this post, but I ended up finding other videos (because of my clear Yossi obsession still apparently existing and watched other videos with her in it. But I suppose I'll have another entry for the other two songs later and just talk about Furusato.

「Personal opinion」

Okay, personally I don't like this original version because it's Nacchi featuring Morning Musume, quite literally. I don't think the other members had a solo line in this song, but the other members do the harmony. This is worse than the other times I have said it's "Ai and Reina ft Morning Musume" (which an example I've said something like this before is Resonant Blue, but not on this blog since I haven't reviewed that song yet). Although I've actually read the lyrics and it's pretty much about a (selfish) girl in love but pretty much addressing her mother about being a selfish daughter. Or something of that sort. I think this is a good song because children often run off on their own and forget about their parents, especially mothers. On my honest opinion I'm only doing this so I can post the other versions of this song. But to be fair, I'll talk about the music video, but I haven't seen it in a LONG time. The video shows different places the members with their "mother" (to be honest I don't know if it's their actual mothers). I also realized this song is also perfect for Morning Musume since they're all "daughters"/"girls" calling out to their mothers. The video also shows baby/children pictures/videos of them.

I think the song is a special song for Morning Musume, which I believe should be their staple song rather than Love Machine since the song shows themselves as a daughter and a girl going out on her own, leaving her parents, but still wants to return home to talk to her mother. Although the only thing I really don't like is that it's Nacchi ft. Morning Musume. Alright, onto the other Furusato versions!

Shoot, right now I'm checking out Do it! Now, Joshi Kashi Monogatari songs out instead of looking for Furusato videos. What happened was that I searched up 5th generation member videos... but I'll write about them later... BACK TO DISPLAYING THE OTHER FURUSATO VIDEOS. These are the only ones I can find, if anyone has any other links, please feel free to share and I shall update this post.
