Lucky 7th "era for Momusu?, Pyoko Pyoko Ultra PV

 The other day I was thinking about how many different "eras" Morning Musume has gone through as a group. I did this in reference to singles rather than albums (I have always thought the albums moved in pairs. For example, First Time and Second Morning, 3rd Love Paradise and 4th Ikimasshoi, and so on.). It would be interesting to know what other peoples view on this is.

So, what I was thinking was:

• Era no. 1 - Morning Coffee - Furusato
• Era no. 2 - Love Machine - Renai Revolution 21
• Era no. 3 - The Peace - As For One Day
• Era no. 4 - Shabondama - Namida ga Tomaranai Houkago
• Era no. 5 - The Manpower!!! - Kanashimi Twilight
• Era no. 6 - Onna ni Sachi Are - Kono Chikyuu blah blah blah
• Era no. 7 - Pyoko Pyoko Ultra - ???

Who knows, people always go on about lucky 7.

Pyoko Pyoko Ultra (PV)

In other, more relevant, news the Pyoko Pyoko Ultra music video has been uploaded to Morning Musume's official youtube channel.

I am still not the songs biggest fan but I'll admit that it is quite catchy and has the most bonkers arrangement since 'Guru Guru Jump'. The PV is very cutesy, showing us a morning musume that hasn't really been seen in a long time. The whole thing is insanely yellow (as if you didn't know that already!) and unfortunatly the costumes aren't to my taste. Still, the girls make it work (to an extent) and the PV is an entertaining watch. Everybody looks great despite the fact that Aika has been given a terrible hat. (I honestly feel sorry for the girl, she always seems to pull the short straw as far as costumes go.)
As another plus, the B-side ,'Kanashiki Koi no Melody', is great. The radio preview is well worth 1 minute and 54 seconds of your time!
