It's nice that Musume Dokyu! DVDs are continuing to be released - I enjoyed watching Volume 2, so I eagerly got Volume 3 to check out more of the same stuff. This DVD is quite different, though - it has shows from what seems to be the second season of the show, which got rid of the narration and typical "news" format. Instead, each episode features one member of Morning Musume one-on-one with the camera, typically just sitting in a youthfully decorated room (so it kind of feels like the viewer is over for a visit!). They start by reading a letter from another member, then do whatever the letter says, goof around and chat for awhile, and finally write a letter with a message for the next member. It's kind of fun seeing how the girls manage to keep the show flowing all by themselves (seeing what they try to be interesting or cute), but sometimes it can get a tiny bit boring if they tell a long story, since I can't pick up all of the Japanese yet (but someday I will!). This volume starts with Risa, who has to shoot some mini-basketball to earn some cake, then she hides a little puppy for Ai to find in the next segment. Ai goes completely nuts for this cute black puppy, which seems completely drugged, since it barely moves, even when she dresses it in a shirt! Konkon has to make takoyaki, then Sayumi has to make a complete bento lunch, which she ends up burning and messing up (but she tries so hard!). Finally, Eri has to eat the lunch, unfortunately declaring it oishikunai (not delicious)! This new format doesn't move as fast as the first season, but I think I like it, so I'm definitely getting Volume 4.Labels: dvds, jpop, morning musume
