Hello! Morning Theater Vol 9 : 4 of 5
8.04.2006 6:14 PM \| Link	Hello! Morning is a Japanese TV show that has been on since 2000 featuring the members of Morning Musume, as well as other Hello! Project gals. It's kind of amazing to think of a music group having a TV variety show, but I think it's a cool idea! Anyway, part of the show is comedy skits, just like you would see on an old American variety show, and they call these Hello! Morning Theater. I noticed that there were lots of DVDs of this series available, so I decided to get the most recent one just to try it out. Truthfully, I'm totally amazed at how funny these are! I didn't know what to expect, but I laughed my head off for this entire DVD. All of the parts are played by the girls, and they have great sets and funny costumes - the make-up can be especially hilarious, along with crazy wigs and beards. All of the acting is totally over the top, and their sense of comedy is actually really good! Hitomi is especially hilarious playing the crazy dad with a temper, knocking over tables and punching everyone. There are various regular sets and characters, like the town square and its cops or the Chinese restaurant and the silly family who owns it (including Reina as a panda!). Each episode is only a few minutes, but they all run together to continue a plot, such as the long story featuring Goto Maki as a penguin (yes, this all sounds ridiculous, but it's so funny!). Everyone plays multiple parts, too, but they still keep running gags. For example, Sayumi always has to introduce herself as the cutest whether she's a cop, a waitress, or a maid. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that I've got to see more of this stuff! Labels: dvds, jpop, morning musume
