*WARNING 75 LARGE-ISH SCREENCAPS AHEAD*

Morning Musume’s 29th DVD Magazine just so happens to be the first released since Koharu was booted out of the group and Risa cut her hair in retaliation (*Stanley Kowalski style* “Koharu…KOHARUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~!”) Even though this ‘magazine’s’ awesomeness only lasts for a period of about 10 minutes – near the middle – it’s still pretty darn good. What’s it all about I hear you say? Well, the girls go to an disaster research centre where they take part in a very boring – although no doubt highly educational – quiz followed by actually getting to take the simulators for a whirl. The simulation activities they take part in are: magnitude 4 earthquake, magnitude 7 earthquake, smoke room and fire fighting with extinguishers. In the 1st part of a 2 part blog series I will focus on the educational quiz although as I consider it rather boring I’ve tried to spice it up a bit. When I say spice we’re talking bhut jolokia red savina here! (I toned it down) I can see this backfiring terribly on me for two reasons:

① A lot of people are NOT going to appreciate sexual Morning Musume slash.

② When I’m unfortunate enough to be caught in an earthquake or building fire in Japan I will wish I took note of the quiz. I can see it now… *earthquake starts* “Oh shit what do I do? What’s the telephone number I need to ring? Which fire extinguisher do I use? WHY DIDN’T I PAY ATTENTION TO MORNING MUSUME DVD MAGAZINE 29???”

Anyway…I’m still going to take an incredibly light-hearted approach to captioning the screen caps I’ve taken so if you want to be educated don’t proceed further. Oh…and if you really REALLY don’t like the girls being slashed and featured in anything remotely sexual you should definitely not proceed any further! Don’t say I didn’t warn you okay. Seriously!

BTW – Talking of Koharu, when I notice she’s not in the group anymore I do miss her but other than that I not even worried about her not being there. That just goes to prove that the group is fine without her, at least when it comes to things outside of concerts although I doubt they’re any different either.

Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikanai 「Ai and Risa caps」

The PV has FINALLY been released on Dohhh Up! so when I saw the Hello! Online announcement on Twitter I was all over it like a rash. This is a truly amazing PV and a welcome breath of fresh air as it deviates from the ’same old same old’ style that the majority of us Morning Musume fans have come to tolerate with every release. I’m not very good at reviewing PV’s so I’m not going to bother with this one so as such I hope you don’t expect that. Well…it’s not that I’m no good at writing reviews, it’s that if I’m going to put a lot of time and effort in to giving my thoughts about something I like to use high quality screen caps (from ISO’s) but by the time those files are available everyone and their dog have written up their thoughts. I then just end up not seeing the point. Instead here are some poor quality Ai and Risa screen caps from the Dohhh Up! release ♥ Oh…and some…
