NEWS: So Morning Musume's musical Cinderella began yesterday and it got some good press. Here is a little sample of the play focusing on Takarazuka, Mire Aika.



C-ute also has a new video today, their performance of Edo no Temari Uta II finally airing on Music Japan, well over a month after they filmed it. It kept getting pushed back and back but it's finally here and honestly it's not all that flash.



I did like the performance overall but nobody really performed up to par. Saki and Erika were pretty good, and Airi is always rather decent. The other girls left much to be desired especially in the singing department. Chisato messed up the choreography and Mai got her line wrong, Maimi and Kanna sounded winded when singing. All round it was a bit of a mess. It is C-ute though, so my bias shines through and I loved it! C-ute!

These TV shows are hard venues. I've seen worse perfs from Morning Musume and Berryz Kobo under this kind of spotlight. Plus, this is just a rough song, period, and a little slow for the normally hyperkinetic C-ute.

Yeh I understand what you mean. I've just heard all these girls perform a lot better. It's still good that everyone obviously sang live.

This was a pretty hard performance vocal-wise, and they really just sound like they were tired. Which is possible.
