Yorosen! Episode 1  (Morningtime)
Yorosen! Episode 1 English subtitled  (Morningtime)
Yorosen’s Page!  (Hello!Musume)

The first episodes of Yorosen!, the television show featuring H!P’s core groups has shown up on YouTube and for download on Hello!Online.  Morningtime has screencapped the episode.  And at 3+ minutes I am guessing these stills comprise the entire show.  On M’s second post he reviews the subtitled version.  So far the first shows are all dialogue and short on action.  So it looks as if understanding what is being said will be key to enjoying this show.  It might be a bit early to make the call, but Morningtime’s first reaction is to call for a reprieve for Haromoni@.  Nakane has developed a page on his site dedicated to the program.  You can visit the site daily to find updated links.

Aside from the fact that 3 1/2 minutes is the length of an extended commercial, not a television show.  I will go out on a limb and say Morning Musume doing a cerebral program is NOT the answer!  C’mon now, these are J-POP IDOLS!  We need physical comedy!  When you have physical comedy, there is always the chance the girls might kiss!  Hello! Morning was silly, and it was loaded with physical comedy.  AKB48’s show?  Same thing.  Idoling???  Same thing.  Even Haromoni@ was sometimes physical, just not usually very funny.  Sure, they all look cute in their schoolgirl uniforms.  But there was nothing intriguing going on here.  As Morningtime says…

“Yes it’s only one episode in but there had better be something more interesting to come or this will be a disaster.”

So true.
