After much fiddling, the problems with umai and the radio are now fixed!

The latest Morning Musume PV is upon us. The whole Hello Project of late has been something of a disappointment, Tsunku just hasn’t been providing! Poor songs, and bad additions to the group are the main problem. I guess it’s a pastime of MM Otaku fanboys to hate any new members at the start, but Koharu Kusumi and Aika Mitsui (Bracer girl) were a real kick in the teeth, if you excuse the pun… So the last thing I was expecting was a decent PV, which is exactly what Tsunku pulled out, it’s so cheap just the way it should be and Ãœber kawaii, with wicked guitar riffs . lol, it must be yngwie!
