Morning Musume DVD Magazine 27

The other Magazine DVD release with the Nine smile tour. This one is from the shooting of the 2010 Morning Musume calender. Yay~! Well I'm not sure what they are suppose to do but They all jack each others photo shoots and ask questions and do things. There is heavy Japanese talking sections between Kamei, Niigaki, and Mitsui. But since I didn't know what they were talking about. So I shall review the photo shoots themsleves (little sneak peaks into the calender).


Very first one is Mitsui with Takahashi and Junjun. Mitsui catches Sayumi spying in on them and calls her out! Nice eyes. Ai and Junjun show they are knitting something and Mitsui brings out the chocolate box that says "Especially for you" on it, because they are shooting for the month of January and February; thus Valentine's day. I think they talk about Valentine's day for a bit and then Sayu asks what Junjun is making. After a short talk by Sayumi (a cut away) when we come back we say goodbye to Ai, Mitsui, and Junjun.


Birthday section~! Mitsui talks first because she has the first birthday, in January 12th! She is excited talking about when she turned 16. She talks about growing up I believe but I can't figure out much.


There is a photo shoot in between but no Mitsui so I skipped it. It was basically Ai interviewing Linlin, Sayumi, and Reina. But now we have Linlin and Reina coming into the Mitsui, Eri, and Niigaki shoot. It appears there was something on the ground and Mitsui freaked out about it trying to step on/around it causing her to jump around. Whatever it was Mitsui was not amused. Looks like there was a lot of bugs flying around. GakiKameiMicchi were not amused. They start talking about their favorite desert foods. Risa says something with banana in it, Reina likes cake (to which GakiKameiMicchi say is really cute), and I couldn't make out what Kamei and Mitsui said.


Next we have Kamei and Mitsui spying on Sayumi, Koharu, and Junjun for the summer page, ironically the page Mitsui had last year. Mitsui and Eri are goofing off waiting for the three to finish. Once they get in there, there is only a few minutes of them actually talking to Sayumi, Koharu, and Junjun before there is talking from Kamei and Mitsui (though I kinda skipped through it). Mitsui and Eri cracked me up in the end when they try to disappear by jumping off screen.

Well that is all for Mitsui in this DVD. If you are looking for some fun Mitsui action I suggest you take a look at this DVD, especially the part with Kamei and Mitsui. There is some funny things there. Also honorable mention for Reina, Eri, and Koharu:

Morning Musume DVD Magazine 26

All promotions for Nine Smiles have been really bright and color full. That does not stop for this DVD magazine. The start of it we have they are explaining that they will play 9 games each and we will have fun. So let's start.


The first game is like verbal ping pong. One player says multiplication problem with the numbers 1-9 (You will see a trend). So the second player gives the answer and sends another multiplication problem to player one. And this goes until someone can't figure out the answer in 5 seconds or messes up numbers. First round for Mitsui is against Sayumi. She wins to go first, but it doesn't take long for her to mess up and Mitsui is out. All in all Sayumi goes on to win the whole round so I don't feel as bad. Mitsui point total: 0



This next game is sucking through a straw to keep the yen piece up to the straw as long as you can. First round: Linlin vs. Mitsui vs Sayumi (again). Mitsui wins this round. The other prelim winners are Koharu and Junjun. Thus it's those three in the in the finals. Koharu drops first. Then Mitsui and Junjun drop at the same. Resulting in a play off!


Well it doesn't take but more than a second for Mitsui's cent to drop like a rock. Thus making Junjun the winner. Mitsui point total: 2


The third game is a staring contest, but more like a laugh contest. The person who smiles/laughs with teeth showing loose. Mitsui's first opponent: Niigaki Risa. If after a minute passes and no one laughs they play a battle of Jakenpyon (rock paper scissors) to see who wins. Mitsui wins and goes to the next level where she faces off against Kamei. It goes for a minute and no one laughs, not by lack of trying by either Mitsui or Kamei. Kamei wins. Mitsui point total: 3


Basically a Jakenpyon game with your feet. But added on is asamute pyon (spelling?) Basically this is after you have a not tied game a person flicks their finger either up down, or left or right, your head has to move you head opposite of the finger moving. Mitsui's first round: Tanaka Reina (This should be fun). Well they were going good for a while but Reina got her out. Mitsui point total: 3


And now we have a hula hoop off!! First grouping: Junjun vs. Mitsui vs. Sayumi (we meet again). Mitsui looses this one as well (she doesn't do too well in this DVD). Mitsui point total: 3


This game is using the stop watch to get, without looking, as close to 9 seconds as you can. So this is everyone for themsleves game. The girls are actually pretty funny trying to distract the girls when they try to count the ticks to get close to 9. Close but too short for Mitsui. Mitsui point total: 3


So it's Mitsui's game and it's to stack dominoes as high as you can without them falling over. Mitsui's prelim group is Linlin vs. Mitsui vs. Kamei. Mitsui wins. To which Eri gets mad and knocks it down (lol). So our finalist (and future bus tour mates) are Reina vs. Junjun vs. Mitsui. Reina gets one more block over Mitsui. Mitsui point total: 5


This is the section where Mitsui talks about being together as a group of nine and the current concert. I have little to none Japanese knowledge so I can't help you more than that.


Junjun's game is of luck. Members draw cards and who ever gets the 9 first wins. That's what I think it is. Mitsui vs. Kamei (again). Kamei pulls the 9 first and out is Mitsui. And Eri being the good sports man she is throws a peace sign in Mitsui's face (This did happen but I meant it jokingly). Mitsui point total: 5


And for our last game each member has to role the dice, and which ever number they land on it the amount their score will be multiplied by. Another members for themsleves virus game. Mitsui has five points as I have kept track of so we hope for a big number!! And we get a 1. Thus Mitsui has the smallest amount of point out of the whole group. It's okay Mitsui we still love ya!

Overall a very enjoyable DVD if you like watching the games. If you are just in it to watch your favorite member you might not enjoy it as much.

Kimagure Princess Profile Updates

For Morning Musume's new single: Kimagure Princess the profile photos on the official site have been updated. I think Mitsui is rocking out that hat pretty well. I am still curious about the whole PV itself. If you have yet to hear the song you can listen to the LQ radio rip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7lBAHdwclY
