Guess who's back from not writing for almost 2 months. I'm really sorry, my last few months in Japan have been soooo busy! But I finished writing this important review and I won't let Kudo Haruka's last activities as an Idol being uncommented by me!!
Today I'm going to talk about the song and video Wakaindashi, which is part of Morning Musume '17's new triple A-side single. I also serves as Kudo Haruka's last single and this song in particular is centered by her. I thought I wouldn't be ready for Duu's graduation single, but I am hyping it a lot now and I decided to enjoy the most out of it! Especially this song is special and I really wanted to talk about it!
Wakaindashi is quite different to other Morning Musume songs, it sounds really special
The instrumentals are so bubbly and so much fun, I love these parts so much. The whole song is just so uplifting and I just love that it is a happy song instead of a sad song. I mean its the last time with this line-up so I rather want a happy sng for them.. and for Duu. Cause she deserves a great goodbye and a happy final song is so nice to see. She got quite a lot of solo lines and may I tell you how amazing the ''What can I do?'' ''DO!'' parts are! I mean, one of her nicknames IS Duu/ Do, so I'm in love with all the members ust screaming DO. I can't even describe how happ I was when I heard it for the first time! And Duu singing in English is really funny! The lyrics in general are so beautiful and I love the concept of 'I'm young and I have my own dream and wanna do so many things'. It's really forward-looking and it fits Duu a lot.. cause she IS young haha xD
But lets take a look at the video as I descirbe my thoughts!
The first scene is Duu sitting alone in a bus..
And she is crying, oh no..
I'm gona cry too, I tell you
And here the dance starts! Honestly, I would be happier if it wasn't white outifts again.. But of course the members look beautiful
Kaediiiiii!!
I feel like Kaede got a bit shafted for all the drama of Chiichan joining and Duu's graduation! But she looks awesome here and I hope she can shine a lot more from the next single on!
Everyone bowing for the queen
Duu is so beautiful and her solo line is perfect
Aaaaaw Akane must be so happy to share a line with Duu
These two are the cutest
Seeing Duu all smiley warms my heart
Akane-chin, Maria and Yokoyan seem to have special positions next to Duu. They are like the freshest members and I feel like they love Duu a lot (especially Akane), so it is a nice choise.
Maria being dramatic
Now everyone is jumping into the bus. And yes, you are young anyway!
Damn, Maria is genki number one and her smile saved me
Akane is even sitting next to Haru-chan XD
Welcome Chii-chan!
It is also Chisaki's first single as a Morning Musume member. Even though the (and my) focus in this song is more on Duu, I really like her in the group and I'm happy she joined!
Kaedyyyyyy! She is getting prettier everytime I see her
I'm still sad Maachan is one of the only members I didn't see in person :/
She is glowing in this single
This girl is so funny xD
They are all having so much fun! Chel looks so happy
Akaneeeee
Sakura is growing up so fast..She looks really good
Harunaaaa! She looks funny
Reina is such a cutie
Mizuki's beauty is like wow! Haachin can't xD
Duu is ignoring everyone haha.. No of course she is not xD
Haachiiiiin *-*
I feel like I didnt see Daaishi a lot lately but I'm excited for her in this single
How is Ikuta even getting cuter *-*
This is a party bus haha
Isn't that dangerous though?
Duu stays seated xD
Duu: Yeah I'm so funny
She is walking this random pathway
Here we have 9th gen and Chiichan. Chiichan is SO SMALL!! XD
Everyone in Country Girls is small so you wouldn't notice that much but next to Mizuki she is a minion xD
And Duu continues her walkof fame
What are these three waitig for? Kaede looks so serious xD
Duuuu! I quite like her outifit! Everyone's casual outifits are really cool!
And here she meets these three beauties
Duu: Hm, do I know them?
Eripon: WTF Duu
I like how this actually fits the lyrics, because they are eating ice-cream(?)
Who wouldn't like Ice-cream though
Oooh, so they were waiting for Oda! Shame on you for being late xD
And it's so true.. waiting for 1 hour is horrible but haveing fun, one hour just feels like 10 minutes!
I love these mix of generations *.* Having these four centering a single would be lovely!
Awwwwww 10th gen are forming little O's with their hands
And the rest is forming a big D.. Awww the Do love is strong
Cutie Haruna
DaaSaku are actually having fun haha
Did I ever tell you that I always have similar hairstyles to Eripon XD
MAADUUUUUU!!! AAAAAAH they are the cutest couple and aaaah they are so cute
Kaedy looks so mature.. damn
It's kind of funny how Maaduu is not sitting next to each other though.. But Maachan behind Duu is so cute somehow
Haha 13th gen is so funny
I love how they pronounce ''ooi'' like ''o-o-i''
And swag Duu goes on
And who's that? A wild Maachan is comiiiing
Are they walking towards each other?

I love them so much and it will feel so weird to see them without Duu..
The Wow wow wow part is also really cute *-*

Duu looks so special
Duu: Bow down my minions!

And I will miss this smile..
And suddenly Yokoyan appeared..
Yokoyan: I wonder when I will fall in love?
Kaedy: Haha you so funny..
Duu: Awwww so cute!
Akane: Don't steal my Duu!

But Maria is the genkiest of them all xD
Maria: Maria LOVErin loves you all!

What can I do?

9th gen is so precious and I admire their beauty
Maria is throwing shades at Eripon though xD
Maria: Sorry, what did you say? xD
These four look like a happy family xD
Haachiiiin!

They actually look like they went to a summer camp here xD
The real winner is Duu!
Wow, I can't describe how cute this Reina center looks!

I really like everyone's hair a lot haha.. I just notice when they do things like this
Wow these angels *-*
But now Duu is alone in the bus

Looking out of the window dramatically
This group is so perect T.T
Walking alone
Akane: No, I'm here dayooo! Don't leave me!
Haha, Akane is going all out in this vieo..
Reina: Wait for meee!
Reina: I love you!

And then Eripon s treating her like a little brother XD

Oooh Maachan is massaging Haruchan
Laughing queen
Don't fall aspleep Daaishi!
Duu is alone?
Maybe she is just imaging? But she starts crying
Poor Duu
Still trying to laugh..
But Maachan noticed
Maachan: YOU ARE CRYING?
And it all ends with MaaDuu.. the best couple
Aww this video was simply great! I love the happy concept and all the members were having so much fun in all the bus scenes and in the end when everyone was hugging Duu (and touching her face). But seriously, this was really well made and it was really emotional. Of course I cried when I first saw this video, especially the 10th gen scenes. Seeing Duu crying also gets me evrytime and her moments with all the members were so precious. I'm especially happy to see so many MaaDuu scenes and Akane also must be so happy to share a lot of scenes with her favourite Idol.. I am too, this was really nice to watch. The dancing scene was shafted because of all the other scenes.. I don't really mind because I prefer seeing all the members interacting with each other! But the dance is also really cute and I love it when they form DO.. Especially since 10th gen is the O.. *-*
The white outfits are so so and I definitely prefer the casual clothes in all the other scenes. But, Duu looks like an Angel and everyone is really beautiful in all the scenes so I don't mind at all!
Seeing this as Duu's graduation song I'm really happy about all the spotlight or rather about showing how much everyone loves her.. I think it's a beautiful bye bye and it's true, she is loved by everyone since she is such a nice girl. I really appreachiate the effort for actually showing it in this video.
All in all I simply love this song and video and I'm so happy to see such a nice interaction with Duu in her last video.. everyone is glowing and it makes me realize that my favourite Idol is really graduating in a few months.. But I will enjoy her activities until the end and of course I am also excited for both her career after this and about the new Morning Musume.
But I won't ever be as excited for a new single the way I am now.. Even if I find a new member it will be different. I realized that and it made me quite emotional.
I'm positive, and I love Kudo Haruka and Morning Musume!
...but let me cry now x'D
