Resonant Blue (リゾナント ブルー) is the thirty-sixth single of Morning Musume. It was released under the Zetima label on April 16, 2008. The Single V DVD of the single was released on April 23, 2008.
There are three editions: 2 limited editions and a regular DVD. Both limited editions comes with a bonus DVD.
With the original, "Another Ver.", a "Lesson Studio Ver.", a "Night Scene Ver.", and a "One-cut Dance Ver.", it makes the most PVs ever released for one single. What is also notable is the smoky eye make-up used on the members, a daring new look for Morning Musume as they attempt to expand into Asia.
