Morning Musume - The Manpower (PV). 25th single.

[@yin_solstice]

:( They're all gone! Ai Takahashi, Sayumi, Niigaki, Reina! I miss them and the rest of the group so much!!

[@Sallyheartdotcom]

TokashiOfficial Channel me too!!!

[@chibineko420]

Takahashi Ai is singing "minagiru" and "subarasui" Yoshizawa Hitomi is singing "monogottsui" and all of the "yeah"s that you will hear I just wuv Yossui-chama

[@sarahl9398]

This was my jammmmm! 2005 baby. Mikitty and Risa 💗 still slaps.

[@MiracleMomo]

I forgot how good this MV, this song, this dance, this performance was. Manages to capture the charm of each individual girl and the group as a whole. I don't know when this era of Morning Musume was ever topped, if ever. This is way ahead of their time.

[@Hinata7x]

Kaori looks amazing in this~ she has tons of screentime plus she really looks like some savage-goddess or something xD

[@SamanthaPortUkulele]

This is 9 years old? One, how time flies... and two, now I feel old 😂

[@zizzywala4300]

2024. I loved Yoshizawa Hitomi in high school

[@snarf66]

It's hypnotic. I keep watching it and watching it.

[@Nekros4442]

The girls actually have the choice of choosing when they would like to leave morning musume. But almost all of them stay within H!P in one way or another. Just look at Nakazawa she left morning musume (cries) but still appeared in almost every Hello Morning episode and she is also a soloist inside H!P and so are many of the other members. But a sad fact is that some members were forced out of MM and H!P all together such as Kago Ai and i think Mikitty

[@AibonNono12]

If they sang in groups of 3, and if gaki was in it u will recognise her voice instantly.

[@tvbuu]

good old days

[@paperitahra]

Oh geez, there was so many of them during this time! And all the recent members look so small and young. so cute!

[@kenbishiyuri]

when tanaka reian is singing first (solo) it sounded she was gonna say something else but changed it straight again. when she starts saying saishin no yume wa

[@lucarioObsesion13]

Love this song

[@randylalande]

Demain, le 26 avril 2023, j’aurai l’autorisation de parler et d’être entendu par tous. Dans ce nouveau monde!

[@te2production]

this song was so catchy!

[@DarkAsukaChan]

Reina is so pretty. I love her

[@JPNSinger101]

Kawaii!!! ^^ I think this has to be one of my favorite MoMusu dances ever! It's awesome! They all look sooooooo pretty! Aww, this was Johnson-san's final single. =(

[@HomelessGhuru]

I"m obsessed with the 1:05 and 2:36 sequences. o_o

[@SangoUzumaki]

Yoshizawa Hitomi is soo adorable!

[@TokyoAkiHara]

Its a talent group, it recruits young models etc and publicizes them and once they get popular enough they leave or quit and become full-time Entertainers, the entertainment industry in Japan is one of the largest in the world, so to keep it that way they recruit talents from all ages everyday. It also just keeps the band fresh I guess.

[@Celedam]

At 03:15, those are (from left to right) Risa Niigaki, Rika Ishikawa, and Reina Tanaka. Koharu didn't debut until 'Iroppoi Jirettai', which was two single after this.

[@punkkay123]

I'm also a Morning Musume and I'm a girl! A girl who's mainly into punk, but I love Japanese pop! It's awesome! Morning Musume are brilliant :D

[@HarukaNUsagi]

I saw a live performance and I swear that Rika(front in the beginning) and Eri(front at the end) have the best thrusts ever.

[@Celedam]

That's true about the boyfriend rule being mostly for image - idols serve as fantasy girlfriends to their fans, and that fantasy is ruined if there's a real boyfriend in the middle. But as for the smoking, Japanese law is very specific about no smoking or drinking under the age of 20. Aibon was suspended more for breaking the law than for the actual smoking.

[@Celedam]

The leader at this time was Kaori Iida, the tall one with long hair and the bunch of grapes (1:54, 2:13). There's a difference between leader and center, however.

[@IchigoNoShoujo]

@luvsherself @luvsherself yup, I'm trying to point out the single close-ups, okay? 0:21 Ogawa Makoto, 5th Gen 0:26 Michishige Sayumi, 6th Gen 0:30 Iida Kaori, 1st Gen 0:47 Tanaka Reina, 6th Gen 0:50 Yoshizawa Hitomi, 4th Gen 0:54 Fujimoto Miki, 6th Gen 0:56 Konno Asami, 5th Gen 1:33 Takahashi Ai, 5th Gen 1:48 Ishikawa Rika, 4th Gen 1:57 Kamei Eri, 6th Gen 2:20 Yaguchi Mari, 2nd Gen 2:25 Niigaki Risa, 5th Gen sry for the removed ones, somehow my computer is going crazy xxD

[@AshThunor]

Pop music video that is cute and makes your think! Like why are they eating peppers? How can you eat pineapple skin? ETc

[@GlennDanzig]

Another superb track!

[@LuckyStarMitsukai]

[@Celedam]

[@nicofebrio3926]

[@syedejazhussain3873]

[@divdawgd]

awesomness..

[@amutoluvr34]

I agree!! Reina ROCKS!!^^

[@Katsuya89]

its a pop group, n they're acually like the best selling female group ever in japan i think. I usually dont really like this kind of music either, but i like this group alot for some reason.

[@Nissaerith]

Ah! I just learned that this single came out on my birthday!!

[@leo5cabral]

good times!!! I never forget.

[@Celedam]

It's available from the iTunes Store.

[@DayelTokio]

diosssss yossi hermosa

[@eeza]

she was like holding back a little laughter after biting that lemon X3

[@ijxijxijx]

spasibo very good bravo

[@sinpigaku]

いい。

[@SailorSaturn1994]

Iida-sama is a goddess.

[@leafydahon]

Yosshi is absolutely stunning in this!

[@KiBaLoVeR494]

nice song. 1 of their best, love it :D miss ya yossie sann!

[@fryan_get]

Yey xD I love the song. It's so randomly addictive. Who knows why xD

[@CazGirl]

"Who is the girl at 4:35? Very attractive." thats Niigaki Risa :)

[@ArtisteRel]

Yossie was yelping at the end. creepy......This vieod is strange, yet awesome!!!!!

[@jesinu]

@EpickEmpire The classic mistake that always gets made, by fans and the producers alike, is assuming that Yossi's deep speaking voice translates to a good deep singing voice. She's actually a lot stronger in a higher range.

[@kenbishiyuri]

Mame got da lemon^^ I luv this song and da dance, da dance matches the song ALOT!!

[@MiniMoniHime]

This is my favorite MM song!!! Thanks 4 uploading!!

[@midobannou79]

konno asami et reina tanaka sont trop belle dessus

[@DevilJrocker]

Well beyond some belief they didn't really bite into some of them. Like the pineapple and the lemon and the gord. They were cut. But things like the apple and the celery and the brocerlie and pairs. Those were really bitten into. [ I did copy and paste it from another ''The manpower!!! PV ] :) < 3

[@Celedam]

Yeah, the iTunes Store purged everything that had DRM, but it should still have the 10th anniversary singles collection and this song is on it.

[@SexehSquirrel]

This song is the shit. I listen to it all the time. That is all.

[@BeeRain]

Totally Agree

[@Celedam]

There's a "Dance Version" that stays with the main dance formation (like 00:14 to 00:18) for the entire length of the song.

[@Alphies1]

My favourite Morning Musume song!! :D

[@HarukaNUsagi]

I like Mari when they do their lil MJ part like beat it. Mari is a good dancer.

[@lillybet1]

@EpickEmpire When they perform it now Risa and Ai do the deep bits, but in this version it's Ai and Yossie. I thought Risa should do it anyway. hehe. Yossie sounds really strong when she sings higher.

[@chibineko420]

Yes At 4:30 is is Yossie ^.^

[@8264393]

yeahh man power!!!

[@yusukeyamaguchi4855]

まあとにかくすげえ曲だ

[@steveasat2]

I got scared and shut it off before the end. I'm assuming they tore a young man apart like fresh bread, proper Bacchae style. I kind of wondered how MM stayed so youthful and now I have my answer. Guess I have to go make a sanity roll now; wish me luck.

[@Pofop]

Yup.

[@GTK_Akira48]

this song was created for the official song of "Rakuten Egles" professional baseball team in 2005.

[@mmmremus]

I never realized how beautiful Yossie looks in this.

[@giggleweed]

xD This is the coolest song/pv ever, even for someone like me who only remembers one of their faces because I saw them on a show. How many girl fans does Morning Musume have? I'm assuming from the comments they're mostly guys.

[@pika23]

look up Pink lady on here, and you can see the predecessors to these guys....cute japanese duo pink lady.

[@fireshot22]

I love Rika- chan in this Pv, soo kawaii

[@mykemech]

pause at 4:09...great

[@nopls]

How very nice of you to spam the comments with lyrics that I can look up by myself. :D

[@Celedam]

Miki and Mari both quit when they did because they felt they'd outgrown the group and they wanted to move on to other work. Being caught with a boyfriend simply provided the excuse. The company tried to keep Mari with the group because at the time (early 2005), Rika was already scheduled to graduate and no one thought Yossie was prepared to become leader. But Mari was tired and she wanted out, so Yossie got a surprise promotion. Basically, the same thing has happened again with Miki and Aichan.

[@soheartlezz]

haha! i loved Ai and Yossies (mainly yossies) voices at 4:29-4:40 xD all that screaming haha.

[@nonkymura]

thanx 4 uploading^^ the cutest is Reina~

[@jastat]

we get it

[@ailuromancie]

If I showed this to anyone I know, they so wouldn't get it. I need to move to Japan. Dx

[@kenbishiyuri]

@PhantomDead MANPOWER~!!

[@DangLao]

omg lol the beats are funny... sounds like a fun song... costumes are nice... im thinking roman/greek goddesses ... lol how can you bite into a lemon and still smile!!! haha >.

[@Celedam]

I hated this song and video at first, but somehow it grew on me...

[@TwistedPizzaDude]

If you search the lyrics on google, you should have the regular version, and the traslated one.

[@nozomi25]

i like this vid

[@Cepheid12]

ERI I LOVE YOU!

[@pandamalo]

Never thought about that dude, now my dirty mind is running

[@Celedam]

It was not really Mari's decision to resign from the group. The agency asked her to resign because her adult behavior no longer fit the teen image of the group, and it was the only was for her and the agency to save face after the tabloid report. Mari would never willingly give up her own graduation. Miki might, but not Mari.

[@cuteotaku1997]

miki is great as always! =D

[@SailorSaturn1994]

They're like beautiful Greek goddesses. Suits the song very well, I think. It's cute.

[@OOUbberlyPinkOo]

Yeah I know. But i just think its funny that they never tried to even catch her. Poor Kemeko ^_^ She also gets left out, even out of the bad things lol

[@Hexilis]

O_O 4:33 - Ai's "Subarashii" it's really impressing... It's terribly high for her voice... Cool XD

[@Celedam]

Sure, in performances, Aichan is always up front because she's one of the best singers *and* dancers in the group. But she doesn't do nearly as well off stage. She's a bit childish for her age - she's almost 21 - and she's frequently awkward in conversation. That's why people wonder about her leadership ability, since the leader must speak for the group. Risa is more commanding and engaging.

[@NicNac4eva]

It definately is Yossie and Ai :3
