I compared three One Two Three videos (bowing and such tho)

NikkiHatsune. She's shy. After the bow she shows an unconfident smile, and leaves hurriedly from the screen.



I'm not saying it is a bad thing. On the contrary, looking unconfident/insecure sometimes works for you.

We are fed up with confident, assertive women in real life (sometimes it is a good trait for a leader though).

Aidoru lovers tend to like the faint little girls whom they can't help wanting to protect. They like bashful, innocent, shy girls.



This is One Two Three by Thaksin Neyoko.

Her bow and her smile is always great in every video. She is exemplar when it comes to smiling and bowing.



xxAuyuxx (Viola) from Poland.

I like her cool leaving from the screen. It's like a catwalk model coolness.

Yes, I like burikko, but there's got to be variations in an aidoru group. If an aidoru group comprises solely burikko, that's not interesting.

SMAP is unique and attractive as a group because it consists of a whole different five members.

CONCLUSION: I love these girls, and they have their charm in their own ways.

There is a drama hardly known outside of Japan behind Morning Musume's "Renai Hunter" dance video.

As this title says, there is a drama behind the promotion of Mormosu's "Renai Hunter" (and "One Two Three"). Apparently their office wanted their audience to dance to them! Did you realize it? There are even dance shot versions.

I believe there is a significant "strategy" hidden behind it.

Let's go back to March this year.

What's ニコラジ? ニコラジ (Nico Raji) is short for Nico Nico Radio. It's an official Nico Nama (internet broadcasting service). It's hosted by professional raidio personalities （やまだひさし and others）. It usually invites famous Nico Nico users, such as 八王子P (Vocaloid P), 事務員G (versatile musician), and ダルビッシュP (Vocaloid P).

The first job as a solo personality for Suzuki Kanon （鈴木香音） of Morning Musume was appearing back in March as a video message in the Nico Raji.

She was there about 3 minutes. She was promoting Morning Musume's new single "恋愛ハンター". In the program, she directed her message to one of her fans, who is a famous Nico Nico dancer and has his own community of about 10K members. His name is 白服 (Shirofuku, or "white shirt").


You can view her message in this video. This is a screen capture of Nico Raji where 白服 makes an appearance as a radio personality. He is sitting on the left.



In there, Zukki (the nickname of Suzuki Kanon) says the dance video by 白服 was 素敵 (wonderful) and she enjoyed it, and that she thanks him for dancing Mormusu's song.

She wrorte an autograph for him, in there she wrote "please dance to Renai Hunter". In the program, Shiro-fuku falls into sobs to see the video message by an aidoru whom he so admires.

In response to Kanon's heart-warming message, Shirofuku pledged to dance to Renai Hunter and upload it. He kept her promise, and uploaded it on NND (Nico Nico Douga).




In there, eleven men are dancing, which include Kimagure Prince （気まぐれプリンス）. Kimagure Prince is known to dance mainly to H!P songs.

Great video indeed!

In the program, most of the comments are nice to Shirofuku.

But on 2ch (the biggest text-based message board in Japan) there's a category dedicated to Morning Musume called モ娘（狼） .
There some of the comments reflected the envies by other Wotas.

If you'd like to read it, Google with 鈴木香音　白服.

You'll notice this word used a lot in the thread: 私信. This means "personal message".

Zukki posted that video message onto Morning Musume's official Youtube channel.

In aidoru business, using their official media as a means of sending messages of personal nature is generally frowned upon.

This is a controversial issue. On one hand you need to do some fan service. On the other showing fondness to particular persons causes their fans' jealousy.

I believe as far as this video message, her office allowed her to do a little fan service like that. She also did her decent job of promoting Mormusu's activities.

In this video, she's promoting Mormusu's new single "One Two Three" and asking her audience to dance to it and upload it.



As far as the latter, I've never heard of aidoru asking such a favor to her audience! This is unprecedented, as far as my knowledge.

I don't know who first contacted, Nico Nico admins or Upfront Agency. This is for certain, it's beneficial to both of them!

A member of an Aidoru group asking for Nico Nico and Youtube users to upload Odottemita （踊ってみた） dance covers. I have never heard such a thing!

I have a feeling that this little incident may be a symbolizing little event for the general commitement of aidoru to internet broadcasting.

For conventional aidoru, TV mostly mattered. Of course they had to promote their records (later CD, DVD) all over Japan, doing concert, appearing in magazines and on radio and such. But their most effective medium was through TV.

Maybe, she or her office might have known the immensely successful advertisement by Lotte Fit's.

You know, Morning Musume has been trailing much behind AKB48 in Japan. They are working toward coming back on top.

This is my wild guess, but I suspect they set their eyes on Nico Nico's (and Youtube's) odottemita culture.

Or what if all of this is a scheme by NND's admins （運営）?

Anyway, I find the tie-up (though not official in nature) between Morning Musume and Odottemita culture exciting!

I tried to help promote the collaboration of MMD culture of NND with J-POP dancing on Youtube, but it was far from successful.

That's all the more reason I find this incident exciting!

New findings concerning the issue of CCProse, popping up as unrelated video suggestions by Youtube.

When you post a video, you'll experience unrelated video suggestions made by Youtube.

Let's compare two similar videos. One by Minimico (MilkyMico on Youtube), one by Haristarchan.
They danced to the same song, "One Two Three" by Morning Musume.



And below is the one by Haristarchan



Mico's video was uploaded 2 days ago, Hari's was just now.

When you click Mico's video through either Youtube Search "踊ってみた one two three" or Timeline, you'll see that the video suggestions mostly consist of unrelated videos, by "CCProse".

Only 4 videos were by Mico. [note: when you read this article, the things must have gotten better]

When I clicked Mico's video two days ago, I saw 15 video suggestions by CCProse!
 If you click "more" there'll be more of them.

However, when I clicked Hari's video just now, I only saw 5 videos in the suggestions collumn.

What made that difference? 

To compare the video suggestions, don't go directly to another video, or return to the previous page (the search result) and click another video. You need to do the search again to reset it.

I searched with the same phrase again. I found a video with the same dance cover, uploaded two days ago. In the video suggestion, only 5 videos are dance covers, the rest are all the videos by CCProse (exactly like Minimico's).

I don't know why, but let me allow a wild guess again! I have a bad record about this (I'm sorry for that!).

I think it has a lot to do with the title of the video. Hari's video has (1)モーニング娘。and (2) her name in the title. That must have kept the appearing of CCProse to minimum.

Mico and another gilr's video, they have (2)their name and the title of the song, but not (1)モーニング娘。in the title.

I think Mico should have included モーニング娘。in the video title.

Sorry if my guess is wrong again!

Airinokappa (Chobineko).

In the first video she addresses the members of Morning Musume.


In this video she's speaking to people in English. She's speaking in much lower pitch.



The first one is more appealing and attractive.

あなたには、人がうらやましがるほどの可愛い顔があります。いくら大金を積んでも、あなたのような美しい顔を持つことができません。

ダンスの才能がない、と決めてしまう前に、挑戦してみてはいかがでしょうか？

モー娘。のPVをダウンロードして、スローモーションで再生して、真似すればいいのです。Gom Player というプレーヤーがオススメです。flv を再生できますし、スローモーションももちろんできますし、右クリックから、ミラー再生もできます！

あなたが歌をより大事にしていることがよくわかりました。ダンスも、すこしは練習してみることをお薦めします！

できれば、私はあなたがダンスもYTにアップすることを望んでいます！
