I was deeply afraid that they&#8217;d be shoving the new girls into the sexy type and be like &#8220;Here, 12-year-old Zukkini! Sing about how tough being an adult is and how love sucks.&#8221; But they didn&#8217;t! They did an upbeat song that&#8217;s all happy and cute!<br \/>Though, is it just me or is this not THAT much like ska? I&#8217;m no expert on ska, but I&#8217;ve listened to some in the past and it didn&#8217;t sound that much like this. This is like, ska thrown in a blender with idol music to produce an upbeat idol song with a bit of ska style in there. But I&#8217;m not gonna complain because it&#8217;s way &nbsp;better than a lot of the recent MM stuff. MM, please come back to being good. We like you good.<\/p>\n<p>Costumes: Oh my goodness YES. Like Otoko to Onna, there are two costumes but both are good! There&#8217;s the colorful ones and then the black and white ones, and both look perfectly cute but not cheap looking! Yay!<\/p>\n<p>And then there&#8217;s grandpa!Aika, who I&#8217;m obligated to adore because I adore Aika.<\/p>\n<p>Dance: It&#8217;s cute and jumpy! There&#8217;s no full dance shot out yet so I can&#8217;t judge, but it looks very very cute so far. I&#8217;m amazed at how good 9th gen got at dancing this! The dance, while not the toughest one H!P&#8217;s ever had, it&#8217;s still a lot of work. And 9th gen did a really great job at being at the other girls&#8217; level.<\/p>\n<p>Art Direction: I really like this! It&#8217;s a simple PV, but it really shows that a simple PV does NOT have to look cheaply made. The giant Maji Desu ka Suka! hiragana\/katakana were actually a fun feature, with the way that the members interacted with them. It was like a character itself. I actually really liked the relatively simple black and white background for the dance shot, because the girls really stood out with their colors.<br \/>The one thing about the close ups that annoyed me was that they gave Risa a brown jacket and a yellow background, which clashes like CRAZY to my eyes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-j0-PMml-bV8\/TZDn8PVq1II\/AAAAAAAAAJU\/mU8weUTIayM\/s1600\/risa+maji+desuka.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"178\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-j0-PMml-bV8\/TZDn8PVq1II\/AAAAAAAAAJU\/mU8weUTIayM\/s320\/risa+maji+desuka.jpg\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><i>What were they thinking??<\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><i><br \/><\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">Consensus: Maji desu ka Ska! is a fun song with a cute PV. It&#8217;s not the best H!P&#8217;s ever done by far, but it&#8217;s a nice introduction to the 9th generation of Morning Musume as well as a bit of a throwback to the glory days of Morning Musume.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I liked writing my Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game Review so I&#8217;m doing the same here.
