Coconuts Musume - Tokonatsu Musume

[usakokero]

I think coconuts musume taught tsunku a lesson. That you can't just throw foreigners into a new market with little or no training in the new language they will be singing in. I saw in one of their first interviews Mika had to translate and it seemed very awkward. By the time he was looking into China for new members, Tsunku knew enough to give language lessons before debuting them. Coconuts musume were good singers, but they never really had a chance.

[Rockaway98]

Can anybody tell me what the title of the song "REALLY" means (In English, please?), because I'm not sure.

[UchuuProject]

@Rockaway98 Tokonatsu Musume means something like "Endless Summer's Daughters" :3

[freeloaner30]

Mika looks strange in this video, probably because of the bright light and the way her hair was made. Also maybe her make-up. Also Lehua looks strange as well. But it's a nice upbeat, feel-good song.

[Littytilillan1]

I love Mika & Ayaka ♥

[BlizzetaQQ]

Flowers + Flowers = Pineapple? <3

I miss Danielle. I always smiled when I when I saw her making Akagumi 4.

[PowerCrumb45]

Jackson 5 - I WANT YOU BACK

[22noranora]

seem like ayaka japanese is the best amount the 4 of them. i like their song, it's happy. i dont know why ppl hate them. :/

[JapanGaruuz]

@22noranora Danielle, Ayaka and Mika was the only one who spoke japanese. Maybe not Danielle but she can now I think (saw her japanese songs on MySpace)

[RG7621]

Ayaka 'n' Mika!!!

[hayhaygirl11]

I don't like this song ):

[BubblegumJoss]

In all honesty I loved coconuts musume with my soul haha Danielle and mika were my favorite

[jkpoplover127]

owhh....is daniella the girl with the big-bouncing boobs?

[ShugoxMelody]

@jkpoplover127 ... Yeah ^^'

[jkpoplover127]

which one is daniella?

[MoMoMoanaNaNa]

i grew up with lehua!! we been homegurls here on north shore since we were 4 years old!!

[hayhaygirl11]

@MoMoMoanaNaNa She's def. the best American they have in there!!

[Flyinginthebluedream]

Jackson 5 - I want you back

[TenshiTamagoKidd15]

lol the big black chick hahaha

[ratedA4Awesum]

never heard a song of CocoMusume but this song is pretty cute. And Danielle and Lehua are great, for being in a Jpop group without speaking Japanese or having anything to do with Japan before they were in Coconuts Musume.

The girl at 0:26, she needs to start wearing a proper bra, though, sorry!

[gogomountain]

I love those jumps that they do at 2:15 (especially Ayaka's)!!! The way they jump, and then freeze on the video . . . it makes them look like cartoon, idol superheroes!

I don't think that Coconuts Musume gets the credit they deserve. I think they are excellent!

[SugoiiYumiChan]

I think this was an amazing group! I hate it when Tsunku disbands things, especially when they're amazing. ;__;

[LastPosterStanding]

Sounds like Tsunku was listening to some Jackson 5 before he wrote this song.

[shikamarusgirl17]

And also... The only things I question are the following:

- Random lady at 0:12 who appears throughout the video too...

- "Four flowers + Four flowers = 1 Pineapple" at 0:51 Whoever put that there must have been smoking something in math class...

- Random dog at 1:00 I mean what the heck?

- The turtle or tortoise or whatever it is at the end. Riding a skateboard...

And may I point out that all those "problems" have absolutely nothing to do with Danielle, Lehua, Mika, or Ayaka - I rest my case.

[shikamarusgirl17]

I love this song. I listened to 30 seconds and I loved it.

I hate how people hate them for "not being Japanese" and "not speaking Japanese" and being so-called "fat" and "ugly"...

Technically, Ayaka is full Japanese, and lived in Japan most of her childhood. Mika is half-Japanese.

I think all four of them sing perfectly fine, and it doesn't matter if they speak Japanese or not. They're good singers.

Japanese people tend to be more petite than Americans. It doesn't make Americans fat or ugly.

[bblingasaurus]

i miss ayaka

[maliciousdevice]

i've always thought danielle was so beautiful and talented.. so sad

[WithLoveCarolina]

I love this song~

[cunningklobe]

flowers plus more flowers equals.. PINEAPPLE

[PandaGirl1211]

The isnt that bad, you people are going crazy

First of they don't make the video yea its not home made blame the video director or how ever

And well damn the song isnt that bad I seen worse H!P songs WAY WORSE, the song is nice and I don't think its mainly them, (the reason they didnt catch on) I think it is because of of their promoted. like Mika was successful in Minimoni and I'm sure if they were promoted with less cliche they wouldve made it further than they did.

[AiKagoForever]

a sad attempt at trying to be cute.... xD im sorry, but its true...

[rodeoboy3]

Danielle is my aunt and she now lives in Hawaii with her husband and a baby and she teaches singing lessons and models.

[MilkyGalaxies]

@rodeoboy3

REALLY how is she!?

Thats awesome!

[AiKagoForever]

o.o''.... so much piiink.... did they try to make this pv this cheesy?? xDDD oh tsunku...

[AishiteneLove]

Mika's a lot cuter in Minimoni lol

[AishiteneLove]

Lehua is doing weird things with her eyes, but she's still really pretty!! lol :)

They were actually really good! :)

I think they should have another similar group in H!P

<3

[DigitalDaifuku]

ugly gaijin w

[iheartmookie]

Danielle is my aunty and she can fucking speak japanese

[HappyMilichi]

i reeeally dont like they're makeup xD

[LLawlitaxDD]

xDD atleast back then they had some meat in theri bones now ill i see are slim kawaii girl -_- is not real anymore hahaha

[AiMerodi]

This song actually makes me smile so much :D

[fatjuicy]

Lol, I liked Mika's cute facial expression around 1:04.

[heippakaikille]

Mika is very cute~~

[why1im2cool3]

beat stolen a lil bit froom mj king of poop ;)

[Iantheparty]

King of poop? XD

[Rule8am]

Ayaka is full japanese lol. she moved to hawaii as a child though.

[animeobsessed40]

None of them look Japanese at all...

[tinzan]

maybe because Danielle and Lehua isn't japanese... they're from hawaii, and Ayaka and Mika is half-japanese.

[Yossieful]

But Danielle and Lehua can speak Japanese?

And Ayaka is full Japanese...

[TheHobgoblyn]

They never bothered teaching Danielle and Lehua Japanese from what anyone knows. They were never able to speak with anyone in Japanese even after 2 years in Japan.

So they left and the group more or less died.

[Yossieful]

Ok, thanks. (:

It's sad anywone didn't teach them Japanese...

[Iantheparty]

Danielle could speak Japanese, just not as well as Mika. She spoke it as well as an average person would after living in japan for a few years. Lehua had more trouble with it and didn't speak too much Japanese but could understand it somewhat.

[animefreakXDD]

but Mika probably learned more because she was in Mini Moni and they had TV shows and stuff

[PandaGirl1211]

@animefreakXDD Mika is half Japanese

[animefreakXDD]

@PandaGirl1211 i know, but shes not a native speaker of it like ayaka, she had to learn to speak it

[SemirTheRemisiquell]

Mika was right when she said the song sounded 'Jackson Five'-ish, I got that kind of feel as soon as the song started.

It's a shame the group disbanded so early- all of the members sounded great, especially the two who knew very little Japanese. Though I understand it'd be difficult do be an idol in a whole nother country and language XD

[TsujixAibon]

yeah at least they learned and actually taught Jun and Lin Japanese. XD

[leafsoul4gone]

they did? i never knew they were still active in H!P :O

^^

[TsujixAibon]

Junjun and Linlin? Yeah there still in Musume.

[Shayori]

At least WAY better than that last video I saw...

>_>

[Lulexiaa]

no wonder it ended..

[Iantheparty]

My favourite Coconuts Musume song.

I love Lehua's braids. So cute!

[BubblegumJoss]

I miss coconouts musume ):

[feelhermind]

Lots of pink!

Cute vid.

[JoshuaHallto]

daniella still scares me....

[ohmiyahchubber]

they could sing...but for sum reason the beat reminds me of jackson fives 0_o?

[hidxxkey]

yeah the song i want you back

[ohmiyahchubber]

thats what i was thinking ^_-

[RockerChickBabe1234]

..... O.O

[xbeautifulxsuicide]

Not to be mean, but they could have asked that American girl to lose a few pounds to fit in with the others! >_>

[auomimed]

lmao so true XD i dont get y ppl r spamming ur comment lmao XD

[xbeautifulxsuicide]

Ack! I have -4?!

I really wasn't trying to be mean! lol I'm sure if you saw her standing by herself we'd think she's skinny, but Japanese girls are so much more petite! lol

I just think it's more proof they really didn't put much time into Coconut Musume! lol.

[auomimed]

lol too true XD they should've at the least got some ppl who spoke japanese! lol

[xbeautifulxsuicide]

Skinny girls that speak Japanese!!! That's all I ask. :D

[auomimed]

lol ditto! XD

[horii1996]

@xbeautifulxsuicide u

[RockerChickBabe1234]

i know right?

[NekoPlusInu]

Did anyone mention that Coconuts Musume is made up of a group of girls from Hawaii? And that Hawaii is an American state?

[xbeautifulxsuicide]

Are you serious?! Hawaii is a state?! I thought it was its' own country. Whose been lying to me???? T_T

Honestly, wtf does that have to do with anything?

[Kitsunsetsuki]

Yes Hawaii is a state, I can see why people think it's a country. I mean certain native's in Hawaii have been fighting to become their own nation state

[xbeautifulxsuicide]

Uh sorry, you mistook that comment. That was sarcasm at its finest.

I think anybody that doesn't know Hawaii is a state should get slapped. I made that comment because that user stated Hawaii was a state like that was something I didn't already know.

But I did not realize that they were fighting for independence, I guess they're in the same boat as Hong Kong and Taiwan then.

[darkangel730]

she's saying their americans because ppl are slamming their accents....in japan, american accents are like british accents to us....charming and sometimes sexy....otherwise, don't u think someone would have helped danielle and lehua with their pronounciations??

[animefreakXDD]

like how ai takahashi had to learn standard japanese

[lila611angel]

@xbeautifulxsuicide thats rude japenese girls just seem thin compared to american girls

[missgumbiecat]

AYAKAAA! I love her. This group is really cute.

[youpoi]

I really feel for Danielle and Lehua, They were brought to Japan promised to be pop-stars. They were never taught the language and had to struggle with lonelyness. And they had to take all of this criticism from you. They tried their best. And you have to admit that Danielle has one of the strongest voices out of all of the Musume's. Watch akagumi 4 for the proof.

[TinkerMelody]

They are not cute like as W, Buono or Milky Way (etc).

[berryzluv]

I love Coconuts Musume :D Lehua & Mika were my favs :D

[halfcat7]

whoaa when did chelsea and april leave coconuts musume? like when was their last song/

[Ane778]

Learn Japanese before joining a Japanese pop band.

[Pikangie]

Learn Japanese before judging someone else's Japanese. >_>

[Ane778]

I AM, and I said that also because I read that some of them left because of that or something like that. It was hard for them to be idols in Japan because they couldn't speak Japanese.

[animielover2010]

FTW

[chocolateblakberri]

I thought this was a Hawaiin Pop band marketed towards the Japanese and ran by a Japanese company.

[Ane778]

They are, but I'm not sure what you're getting at.

[MoonEyes144]

I personally love this song and think it's very cute to have American girls. I'm sure the Japanese found their accents to be very charming. These songs were not made for English speakers.

[djavan]

I never really like this group. The only people I can stand is Aya,Mika, and Danelle because they're japanese is up to par. But Lehua sounds so forced it really annoys me for some reason.

[hellaAustin]

I personally don't like the white girls, because they are singing in Japanese, but they don't speak it fluently. If they did know Japanese, I would have no problem with them.

Mika and Ayaka know Japanese, but Danielle and Chelsea don't.

Anyways, I love Coconuts Musume no matter what.

[nogachan]

Mika's japanese wasn't so good at the the time~

I don't really like Coconuts musume, but for some reason I love this song <3

[XxXbrokenheartzsXxX]

@B5forever11 but then one of them IS japanese. :/

[B5forever11]

@XxXbrokenheartzsXxX lol i forgot i even posted that. Forget what it it says there i dont even remember what the argument was.

[DjSchrotty]

Coconut Love <3

[Sarlee06]

XD my favorite part is the random dancing black lady.

[DjSchrotty]

I lol'd

[hellaAustin]

Her name is Clamissa. She enjoys chicken, and theme parks.

[Remui]

All pretty, yes...but on the other hand quite nauseating and stupid +o(

[0800Hanabi]

I really love Coconuts Musume, despite their over-American-corny-ness. =DD

[Archejoiyo]

It's just me or Ayaka looks awesome in this video?

[karasumi1977]

Lehua just recently got crowned Mrs. Hawaii

[Pofop]

The chick with the braids is kind of tripping me out.

[Jusen]

Congratulation's on your marriage AYAKA !!

[nogachan]

What the...?! From when? I knew she isn't in H!P anymore, I thought she wants to be an actress or something, but...? I didn't heard about it.

anyway, Congratulation's to Ayaka Sensei~!!

[T3hL0uiseChan]

no offense but.... the american girl. woahhh o.O i mean its great HP let other girls in but.... she doesnt seem right for HP

[himitsu387]

well technically being hawaiian they're all american.

[lila611angel]

@T3hL0uiseChan who danille,mika,or leuah

[Oibuchan]

It's great that they have a group with non-japaneases in H!P : )

[r4v4g3r]

Ew, Coconuts Musume was terrible, the only good member was Ayaka. And Mika a little bit, but she was still better in Minimoni. Danielle was a disgrace to H!P. KIMOCHI ARUI. Too bad Ayaka graduated now though.

[KanpaixEnka]

Do you mean Kimochi Warui?

[r4v4g3r]

Does it really matter?

[KanpaixEnka]

A little. I wanted to know if I was wrong or not. Sorry if I annoyed you.

[r4v4g3r]

Haha, no you didn't annoy me lol I just thought you were trying to be mean. I don't really know I could be wrong I thought it was "Arui" but I'm not sure, sorry :\

[krnflydude]

Danielle was really good in Akagumi 4. o.O I think she's really talented, she just needed to try a bit harder to learn Japanese.

[nogachan]

maybe Ayaka was better in Coconuts musume, but It's kinda like a fact that Mika's voical talent is a way higher then Ayaka. (I like them both, though~)

[v14mitne]

It's so awesome seeing Mika in this, because in Minimoni she always seemed like she didn't quite fit in but here she so does!

[Minagi3571]

I think since this PV their style got better, they started to be a cuter group.

[iheartzrikuKHFF]

I love Mika's hair in this vid!!!

[sanosukeii]

i wish they worked on danielle's style a bit more...shes so not attractive here!!! or in any vid i seen of her.

[TatsuyaMiyakami]

Danielle is now actually a model... :P

[Midnightkathleen]

Mikas Kawaiii

[kanademangas]

Danielle has a great voice in this! Mika is so~ kawaii! Lehua has a weird nose :D And she has a weird voice in this. It's her first single though, But she got better! And Ayaka... SUGO~I!!

[vegetarianbeefeater]

Hmm, their Nihongo sounds suss

[krnflydude]

LOL, flower + flower = ? PINEAPPLE!

[TR000PA]

Mika-chan Kawaii
