Hello! Morning Theater Vol 10 : 3 of 5
6.05.2007 7:16 AM \| Link	The last Hello! Morning Theater DVD I watched was back in January! I guess I've just been content with music videos and concerts recently. Anyway, I started watching these skit collections with Vol 9 working backwards, but this one is the latest release (which has been sitting on my shelf for months!). This volume was a little disappointing, since there weren't very many laugh-out-loud moments for me, but then again, time seemed to pass quickly through all 15 segments, so it must not have been that boring! The main story plot (if you can call it that) is about fairy tale characters hopping out of their books (making the kids who own the books sad!) and wandering around the Haromoni world. There's a little bit of everything - Jack in the Beanstalk, Pinocchio, Hansel & Gretel, The Little Match Girl (and even a bit of Urashimataro). I don't know the story of The Blue Bird, but it's pretty hilarious when Miki runs by as a giant pigeon dropping golden poop (seriously!), which the characters mistake for golden eggs! It was fun recognizing some other cultural references, such as Gepetto claiming he made Astro Boy or Arale-chan from Dr. Slump, and I enjoyed the pun when the Little Match Girl, who always says "Macchi katte kudasai" (please buy matches), pulls out an Abe Natsumi photobook and switches to "Nacchi katte kudasai" (Nacchi being her nickname, of course!). The two episode Christmas special is also included on this DVD, which has some nice references to old characters and fun versions of Jingle Bells and Rudolph to sing along with. It was fun to enjoy these skits again, but I don't think I'm really desperate to keep buying more. Labels: dvds, jpop, morning musume
