[10/15] Morning Musume。'14 57th single - TIKI BUN/Shabadabadoo~/Mikaeri Bijin

I've just noticed that Eripon's dyed her hair darker. She looks really cute like that.

Just ralised Sakura didnt get her own colored scarf? Or it fell off during the performance and I didnt noticed.
You can see it on the ground at 0:29 and they still carried on without it interfering!

Yes, it fell off right after they swung their hands during the first chorus of OTT. She picked it up and continued, occasionally put it down when she needed to use both hands. I thought she'd have just threw it aside but she kept it (not to make things awkward I guess).

As for the medley, it was perfect. I liked how they kicked off with the chorus, the whole transition was brilliant, everybody looked great and pretty. Sayumi's just shining so brightly. The camerawork was good, at least they put effort trying to keep up with the girls' formation and aerial view

"Tiki Run"??? Sounds like the name of a 90's Polynesian racing videogame.

Also, for some reason, Google translate left "manmen" ("full-faced") untranslated, so: "『Mステ』最後のステージを終えた道重は、場内に沸く声援と惜しみない拍手を一身に浴び、満面の笑顔を浮かべて応えていた。"
became "And bathed herself a generous applause and cheers that boils down to the hall, Sayumi finishing the stage of "M stearyl" last, had responded with a smile of Manmen."

Also, damn, May J used to look so awkward and is now just so elegant.

Sayumi's first single as leader and last single as leader. NGL, I teared up a little bit. A lot has happened these past couple of years.

^^ You can see her pick it up a few seconds later, and she holds it until the end of the song. xD
whoops!

No golden era song performed!

Also this was the best editing with the overhead cam I've seen. Watching the girls change position was mesmerizing, constantly on point. Also Sayu working those cameras like the pro she is.

its amazing how comfortable the girls are doing close-ups now like that in the making in comparison to when they joined.
