[@SparkingSkye]

@solitarylonewolf This single is actually from 2005, so the MM you see today is different from this single, the members at the time are; Hitomi Yoshizawa, Ai Takahashi, Asami Konno, Makoto Ogawa, Risa Niigaki, Miki Fujimoto, Eri Kamei, Sayumi Michishige, Reina Tanaka, and Koharu Kusumi. And yes, they did get a lot of hair changes, the most obvious one being Ogawa from brown/black to blonde xD (she looks pretty in this x])

[@mey3318]

[@Celedam]

Morning Musume releases 3-4 singles every year, and then a studio album about every 15 months. (Remember that in Japan, singles are the major releases and come *before* the albums. This is opposite of North America, where albums are the major releases and singles are released only to promote the albums.)

[@soheartlezz]

aw man i play make Koharu's solo and think "If only Koha knew when to use her character voice and her real voice ... & If only some people knew... Shes a wonderful singer... With her REAL voice.. they wouldnt bash her on her singing. v.v uhhh "

[@XHikarixxx]

I feel bad for this girls. They sing about love but they arent aloud to have one. :( THEY ARE STILL AMAZING!

[@Cythereia]

The first one at 0:15 is Kusumi Koharu, the one right after her is Michishige Sayumi. The one at 2:38 is Yoshizawa Hitomi, my favourite member

[@517anon]

I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting pretty pissed off about this huge delicious fish that I missed >=(

[@DoubleFoxTail]

Wow! I was looking for this song FOREVER! I found it!

[@MichaelHailing]

thnx u

[@MichaelHailing]

At 4:23 Makoto Ogawa is soooooo cute

[@BunnyHanyou]

Is it just me or has Eririn's voice gotten super good?

[@xkatieyx]

The one at 0:15 is Kusumi Koharu and straight after is Michishige Sayumi, 2:38 is Yoshizawa Hitomi =)

[@Shawaazu]

The blonde is Ogawa Makoto. The song has nothing to do with fish. If you read the subtitles for the rest of the song you can see that it's a metaphor.

[@potatofwog]

Theyre so cute T^T especially kamei, miki, taka, konkon

[@shenmuedj]

Geez..i can't stop watchin this vid.damn cuteness!!!

[@CanonSkyrissian]

That sou da sou da sou sa mattaku part always makes me laugh.

[@niniiri2]

The fish that you had set free was big. =The fish that you had set free was (very good fish, a find, an acquisition) fish as a metaphor for (girl or boy) The theme of this tune is =There is only one chance in your life. Don't miss an opportunity.

[@char7437]

@yzarci I think you were right^^ Takahashi is on 0:35, right after that, it is Miki (fujimoto)

[@Celedam]

For an online English-Japanese dictionary, use Jim Breen's JDIC server. I can't put the link here, of course, but you can google for that. As for the music, all of Morning Musumes singles and albums are available on the iTunes Store. (Yes, even in Canada.) If you don't want to use iTunes, then you can order the CDs through YesAsia or CD Japan, but be warned that import CDs are expensive.

[@FeatherShard]

Personally, I'd say this is about as close to a perfect PV as one could expect from a group the size of MM. All of the girls look great (though the ones in the pink got kinda shafted for outfits) and sound good as well - even Sayu. And the song itself is pretty catchy. Can't ask for a whole lot more.

[@chibineko420]

She is still awesome lol Yossui and Rika Ishikawa are in a group together now called Hangry and Angry They are completely different than they used to be (which is totally depressing) But the point is, she is still doing work^^

[@GalaadCastellanos]

mmm i like that video even in the souda part.... i recognize every one with no problem i think they all are the same and look same than always..... some one say mornig m produce 3-4 singles at year, thats a little!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@fireshot22]

thxxx :D yeah she is! lol I thought she was Reina b/c of her eyes wearing a blonde wig xD

[@GTK_Akira48]

blond girl is "makoto ogawa". the fish thing is a japanese proverb. you can understand that "fish" equals "chance".

[@Didopan]

ogawa makoto, i love her ~_~

[@xaram19]

love it!!!!!

[@berryzluv]

Love This!

[@kanatapaw]

love it :D

[@t1renegade]

Actually she is called Yossie. Reference Ayaka's Surprise English lessons featuring Yoshizawa Hitomi. here on You Tube & see for yourself that even Ayaka calls she, "Yossie?" There are at least 7 to 12 episodes, provided, You Tube didn't delete some of them like they've been doing lately. I hate it when they discontinue my favorite like that... STOP-IT YOU TUBE!

[@milowar]

wooow these girl are so good, nice song and so beautifuls i'm in love, congratulations god job

[@cutiel0ver21]

i love tanaka reina. she look so cute with that hair n i like all her solos =)

[@HarukaNUsagi]

I love makoto's hair in this video. that color rocks on her.

[@samhee.92]

love this song !

[@kizuna8]

I agree. Her expressions are fun.

[@GTK_Akira48]

she is "makoto ogawa". the fish thing is a japanese proverb. you can understand the fish equals chance.

[@animelover509]

yeah most of these girls already graduated. Since Ai-chan is the oldest (22) she's the current leader, and Gaki-chan is the sub-leader (20).

[@Celedam]

"Who is the girl?" That's Koharu Kusumi. If she looks different than how she looks today, it's because she wore her hair differently then and hadn't quite hit puberty yet. "why is there 2 Hitomi's?" What do you mean? The only "Hitomi" is Yossie.

[@baku2notte]

great!! especially Ai takahasi cool!!!!

[@GishiDotAky]

After some changes, Morning Musume has now 8 members and 2 chinese girls who will appear in Morning Musume new single.

[@XxPhoenixHarpyexX2]

mari yaguchi left a long time ago ! Yes, this one is old but she left even before this one as well. She's a reall yold member.

[@SparkingSkye]

@solitarylonewolf Well this is actually from 2005 this single, so the MM today isn't all in this video. At the time of this single, there were; Hitomi Yoshizawa, Ai Takahashi, Asami Konno, Makoto Ogawa, Risa Niigaki, Miki Fujimoto, Eri Kamei, Sayumi Michishige, Reina Tanaka, and Koharu Kusumi. And yes, a lot of them did change their hairstyle such as.. Makoto, who has the obvious change from brown/black to blonde x] (which looks pretty on her!)

[@YushikoKaidoh]

so cute ^^

[@matt7988]

thanx for the romanji.

[@GishiDotAky]

The single is not known yet, they're prepairing Jun Jun and Lin Lin so they can speak some japanese (and I read that Morning Musume is learning some chinese)... Also I've heard that the next musume chosen will be korean... Tsunku is kinda crazy

[@Reyneeru]

i love it

[@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

This girls make me happy********

[@InsaneInvader]

Exactly, morning daughter. Polish translation is 'Córki Poranka' :)

[@love2CUsmile86]

At 1:07, first was Sayumi Michishige and then the second half of 1:07 was Konno Asami.

[@butterflycloudyz]

she already graduated when they made this mv. and she is a graduated member of momusu.

[@shoujoluvr707]

0:24-0:25 WIN. I LOVE THE WAY SHE MOVES HER TWO FINGERS and her face is EPIC.

[@Celedam]

The fish is a metaphor. The song is about trusting your instincts. The blonde girl is Makoto Ogawa.

[@dontcare01019]

Agreed!! Best Musume of them all :

[@SpaceFreak80]

great song, love it

[@spockette]

Its about not taking a really good chance. the fish is the chance

[@dididiol]

omg!! yossie!! i miss youu T_T

[@bobalgeria]

just a sugoi (awesome) and kawaii (cute) music, i like this! souda souda souda mattaku sono toori!

[@EseUrinai]

I love this song =D ;]

[@suixingseki]

eri is so cute! i miss her so bad~

[@Mr.Huntermoon]

this song is great arrange and lyrics is touch my heart (is not easy to make idiom to be song)

[@cheezewheel]

wish the timing wasn't off :( but nice job on the subs :)

[@purmiself2]

I love this video because its a happy dance :D that's why I give 5/5 stars :D and favorite :P

[@snoozymoo]

this vid rocks kamei is getting plenty of show time!

[@kizuna8]

There are people like that in every country of the world, you know. Not just Korea.

[@ichibanb]

yeah alot of the lyrics aren't too swift, but I rarely pay attention to the words in english songs, so it's not a biggy to me. I just like the music. :)

[@dododido]

Me too, contrary to my expectations. I like the song more now :D

[@sasuke61694]

Awesome

[@jonhgu]

VERY NICE, I LIKE THIS VIDEO.

[@Celedam]

If you mean the one who sings "Hara mo herya nemuku naru", that's Risa Niigaki.

[@jjo___anne]

that was my first impression of the Wonder Girls as well but the longer you look at them and try familiarizing their faces,you will know which is which. :D

[@XxYYHLoverxX]

this is a cool song!

[@archon301]

i agree! ... Risa Niigakie or Gak san is the reson for me to love morning musume... she is my No1.

[@jonhgu]

i like this music, i love morning musume.

[@2dum2liv]

it so cute :>

[@TheD3r1k]

Konno!! she' was always one of my favorites!!

[@Armandthevampire]

@MisaMisa6666 Dont forget Yossie is in Ongaku Gatas as well. Support her for the win

[@winterxj9]

I love this song

[@ColeKreviazuk]

haha Yes, I am aware of that, but the proverbalism of Japanese is much denser then most western languages, and while we have both a to-the-point-way of expressing things and a more imaginatory, they almost only have the latter one alive today, making saying and "saying" the same thing. You could sing about "fish" and you could be singing about fish. It's unparallelled.

[@Celedam]

It's available from the iTunes Store.

[@Celedam]

Right, which is why this is the "Close-up Version".

[@Celedam]

No. But Morning Musume and Buono are both within Hello! Project.

[@fireshot22]

Yeah---->about all the girls wearing pink, they are Koharu, Sayu, Risa and... who's the other one. Damn I'm like forgetting their names xD btw Takashi loooooks SUPER cute in this vid!! =DDDD

[@ColeKreviazuk]

Haha That's the point! Jpop isn't to be like western world wonders such as '2 become 1' and 'Black coffee', It needs to be AT LEAST 4 minutes long and have a tune and theme that's is completely wacky in context with the lyrics. It's about fishing for crying out loud! Souda souda souda!

[@poratitipuri]

they are super kawaiii!!!!!!!!

[@AGoodOman]

Aichan is definately one of the best dancer + sing in MoMusu, she always in the front for most concerts and performances But i don't know how she looks in this MV, took me awhile to figure it out

[@Reyneeru]

i love this video ohh it is cool sugoi

[@ca280491]

indeed !

[@Celedam]

This single was released in November 2005. It was Koharu's second.

[@GTK_Akira48]

"nogashita sakana wa ookii zo" (the fish you let slip by is huge) is japanese proverb.

[@HarukaNUsagi]

I love Ai in this. She has a "are you getting it yet?" face.

[@SpaceFreak80]

Her name is konno Asami, her first name being Asami.

[@SakuraEvangeline]

@kanatapaw 　do you mean yossie (Yoshizawa Hitomi) ?

[@t1renegade]

You know,, I was just watching my M M Tour 2005 Haru - Dai 6 kan Hit Mankai, & at the beginning, they introduced Kusumi Koharu. Then when they did this song & some medleys, Koharu performed with them till about the end of We're Alive. I thought it was great, because, it broke her in a bit, just like at the end of the NON Stop 2003 Tour/Kei-chan Graduation, when they had the new 6th gen, perform, before the messaeges to Kei-chan. Gaki-chan was her cutest self, too!

[@miyelleSEJI]

Eeep! Risa was so cute ^0^

[@ailuromancie]

Yossie's expressions are priceless... XD

[@Thrinku]

i love this girls... they are so pretty...
