That's such a good idea! Will give it a try once I find the time. I would certainly not start drama over your list
Also, might be missing some in my scan, but did you rank only Anju songs? Or would S/mileage songs in general not rank that high for you?

New tour with 19 stops, starting March.

The new m-line is going to be super interesting. They probably want to push Kiki as much as they can, but I can't see them doing the same for Riko. I guess in the end it also depends on what the girls want. Ozeko definitely worked towards a career in the last few years and I hope they give her somet...

Nicer news: Ozeko to release her first single, too.



April 24, double a-side "Namida no Tomorrow/(Title undecided)".

Miyazaki Yuka had a spinal cord infarction.



Scary, honestly.

I guess starting points would be: - Renai Hunter as the first song to heavily use EDM - Sayumi's leadership / Colorful Era -> bleeding into Mizuki's leadership As Shoujo says Chu Chu Chu is kind of the last one to be heavy EDM, and as Solarblade says it could still be seen as a whole Fukumura era th...

High-King revival with OGs Miyamoto Karin, Ogata Risa, Sato Masaki, Inaba Manaka and Ozeki Mai: https://ogre.natalie.mu/media/news/music/2024/0212/SIOOM_art202402.jpg As far as I get it their name will be - rather uncreatively - SIOOM. They cover Cinderella Complex for a drama of the same name. http...

Well good thing these girls are so young then. Plenty of time to learn!
Though honestly, listening to Akaringo's and Yokoyan's recording afterwards... nothing a good sound producer can't fix

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/helloproject/images/3/32/EggOverview2.png An ugly first look from the wiki. Damn, that's pretty good actually. 2017 was quite unlucky though, ironically it's the year where the H!P Shin Member auditionees joined (you know, that one audition they actually promoted w...

Time didn't exist in the covid era, but I realized that it had passed when I saw Yagi and thought she didn't look awkward anymore. Babies! Even Mihane is nearly a year younger than Yofu, and the other two are even two years younger. This is going to be interesting, since Yofu aside everybody in Tsub...

Geez, what are they doing to those girls?

Yup, it's cute and fun, but it's not really a banger. But still decent. Yay for Ichika violin moment!

Manakan about to release her first single: 圧倒的LØVE／タイトル未定 (Attōteki LØVE (Overwhelming LØVE)/ and one with an undecided title? )

Well, a good group! Let's hope for songs and the like. In general I think these are actually the kind of girls that have potential to draw in a lot of people. Homare is often named as a girl other teenage girls are interested in, Rin has done modeling stuff, Momo is the upcoming new star and Shiori ...

If they're going with the official colours it should be Momo, but I actually thought of Sumire or Madoka first. But yeah, it's probably going to be Momo. Judging by the silhuette it's going to be Shiori though, not Miimi. That being said, I hope we get a song, like they did with the Dance Team for t...

If anything, I think that's the best way to go, honestly. Like they did with SeasoningS.

I'm betting 2, if not 3. For some reason I always think that someone from 1.2 Tsubaki (Mizuho, Saori, Mao) also announced their grad and honestly, it could happen. So with Kisora gone soon... who knows? Also at this point I am lowkey expecting new Biyo members, Ichioka announcing her retirement due ...

Announced on today's HaroSute: New members will be announced on February 7. Yay!

She will apparently also leave entertainment business. To be fair that makes sense, I don't think she had anything aside from Tsubaki.

Anju vibes from Tsubaki.

True, there's really not much happening at the moment. Aarii is gonna leave soon-ish and so will Rikako, but I do hope we won't have to wait until December again for another Morning member to leave. If any Biyo single is delayed by Icchan's illness... that would suck, honestly. I mean MM released a ...

That's my thought, too. Might not make it for a full test, but next year then.

That's super crazy! Also, great thread! I don't really have memories regarding the kids, since I refused to acknowledge them until like 2012. Yeah, I was a salty idiot. Looking back at it however it's crazy how Berryz flew high with the Inazuma collabos just to be one of the least pushed groups at t...

I guess we can't deny that MM still has some bangers every now and then, and whatever Up Front wants Tsunku to write for them is not exactly what the fans like (nowadays). I remember that Utakata was praised as being "Tsunku-esque disco" (in line with Romance no Tochuu, for example). Wake ...

I lowkey lost my mind at this yesterday. But then I realized it's not under H!P.
To be honest, looking forward to it nevertheless. I guess it will be a one-time thing but it would be interesting to see.

Utakata sweep!

Thank you so much Shoujo, it was a lot of fun and even I have still learned something about Morning Musume lol

Oooohhhh this is going well

Well, I know we're the soap bubble mms! But Utakata is also really good!

I don't think my pick will win. But I think the one that will win is also splendid!

Oh I totally get that, that's why she's not really high for me either.

There's something about KitaRio that's kinda off-putting to me, which is probably unfair, because she's pretty decent at everything and has a bit of a DGAF attitude, which usually appeals to me. I think it's how she seems more a part of the 12/13kis than the 15/16kis that she's actually a member of...
