Lol, ok, since you're going to be alluding to it anyway for the next four years or whatever....let's hear it, what's wrong with Rikako?? :grinning:

That's always how it goes. :b

^We're never gonna get used to ANJURUMU.
At least "morning musume", "cute/kyutto", "beries", "juice juice", "Smileage" work in conversations, but "anjurumu" just doesn't work in English. :P
No Berryz, No Life.
Please people, I'm a "he" not a "she".

:thumbs-up: At least you're admitting it's all about how it comes off to you as an English language fan and nothing to do with the intrinsic worthiness of the name. :)

When I first heard about Morning Musume I was turned off to the group just by the name. I was like wtf is a musume, it sounds stupid and google (lycos or altavista maybe?) keeps trying to turn it into Museum. I mean, SPEED, ZONE, PUFFY and, um, Morning Moo Sue Me? ew no. So yeah, I think most people will get used to it.

Maybe Amped means that Rikako got jobbed by being placed in Angel Tears when it was obvious that she could have been the next ace for Morning Musume?

ANGERME has four syllables. S/mileage had six. Why weren't you guys complaining before, don't get it.


It has nothing to do with the syllables. :blush: I still say Morning Musume more than I say MoMusu and thats a hell of alot of syllables

AN - JU - RU - MU is just awkward to pronounce in general.

I don't find it awkward to pronounce at all, but hey. Maybe just me. (8

....
so, kind of embarrassing... but I've been pretty busy this past week-ish... so I hadn't actually, ehm, listened to them pronounce the new name yet. :fear:

Guys, it's just "Angelum". Crisis averted. My life can go on. :heart:

People are making such a big deal about the name, which I get, but like... Everything else about the group is kind of more important than the name imo.
