A poll dedicated to the most polarizing (and only) self-cover album in Morning Musume history. What could go wrong!?

Vote for your top 3 in "The Best! ~Updated Morning Musume~".

I actually need to relisten to this album because I honestly can't even remember it. :hahaha:

A new round of songs are up for voting. It's the covers collection.

There haven't been many, and I hope I didn't miss one? I don't think I did, anyway.

You have 3 votes. Enjoy!

Album versions up for vote. Which, to be fair probably should have just been omitted, but... I promised myself to do ALL the songs.

You get 3 votes.

New poll up. The other versions of songs that have no home. Top 3 move on.


An aside note. I wish they would do a live album. They could have done one during the platinum era or even now. I'd have really liked that, especially during the time when there were no fan calls. I know they are coming back now, but it really brings some of the ho-hum songs, alive in a different way.

It's the noisy girl battle! Pick your favorite version. Only 1 is moving on. Too many noisy girls might be an issue in future polling. :lol:

I love the original Joshi Kashi, and every subsequent version of got a little worse than the one before it. The fun of it was in the idea of the group of noisy girls giving their perspective on the individuals, and the moment they changed it so that each girl got to sing about herself it killed what seemed to be the very purpose of the song.

It's the last round in Phase 3. I doubt many newer fans have every partaken in the lovely Hawaiian Musume album.

But there is a need for being thorough. So I tracked down the album bits on youtube.

Happy Summer Wedding
Renai Revolution 21
LOVE Machine
Manatsu no Kousen
The Peace!
Koi no Dance Site
I WISH
Summer Night Town
Morning Coffee
Mr. Moonlight ~Ai no Big Band~
Furusato (Album Version)
Morning Musume Single Medley ~Hawaiian~


Next up is Phase 4 - The Wild Card Round and Tie Knock-outs. IE -Songs that didn't fit into certain categories, and tie breakers.

Phase 4 is LIVE. - It's a pretty short phase, but vital to pick up on some of the lesser known homeless Musume songs.

It's Musical Musume. This round will be a little different. Mainly because Morning Musume has done a lot of musicals over the years and I didn't want to spend months doing musicals that some of you probably never heard or cared about.

BUT, for the few of you that DID see a musical or two, this round is for you!

You get 1 vote to pick your favorite Morning Musume musical. Then in the comments, pick 1 song from that musical you like. It will pass on to Phase 7 in the purge round.

I can't not vote for Lilium. I even own the DVD to it. It was honestly really good.

OBVIOUSLY Lilium.

Best song vote is pretty much impossible, but I'll go with Aru Niwashi no Monogatari.

We're just going to duke it out now instead of later. Pick 2 of your favorite songs from Lilium.

I omitted the songs by ANGERME members Ayaka and Meimi since they aren't part of Morning Musume. (Thanks Project Hello!)

Moving ON!

It's the fanclub solos. Solo's so old only a select few of you will know them. It's a tragedy these never got a proper release. I actually purchased them years ago. But now even I can't play them because they were the mini-discs and I don't have a CD player anymore. :hahaha:

But here I am again, helping you out. Found all the songs on YouTube in various forms. Quality is questionable. But it'll help you out if you chose to vote.

Yu.u.wa.ku - Nakazawa Yuko
Anata no Kami no Kaori - Iida Kaori
Manatsu no Tanjoubi - Abe Natsumi
LOVE -Keisan Chigai- - Yasuda Kei
Marine Sports! - Yaguchi Mari
Gochamaze LOVE - Goto Maki
Rikai Shite > Onna no Ko - Ishikawa Rika
"Yoshite, Yoshite..." - Yoshizawa Hitomi
NON STOP - Tsuji Nozomi
Renai tte Naani? - Kago Ai


I'm giving you three votes this time, but only 1 will be declared the winner.

I thought I clicked Yuko's song, but guess it didn't click. I still remember listening to these endlessly. Enjoyed them all, but feel like I listened to Kago's, Yossi's, and Yuko's the most.

I’ve loved Kago’s, music wise, for a long time, but lyric wise, Charmy’s is my favorite by far :lol:

"Yu.u.wa.ku" is the only one of these that made it onto mix my CDs back in the day. It's pretty nostalgic to hear it again after a really long time.

Hi! I know I'm late. I was on a work vacation and was pretty busy with other stuff.

New poll up, this time it's the unit songs. I opted not to add Tanpopo, Pucchimoni or Minimoni because they were more self contained groups.

This it for the groups that didn't really get to shine. You get a whopping 5 vote! But only 2 winners (or if there's a crazy tie) will move on.

Reminds me of the fact that Sakura and Otome Gumi were so damn good.

I remember having arguments about which group was better, Sakura or Otome Gumi. I preferred Sakura Gumi cause it had Kago and I just liked the songs better. It's also what solidified my love of Kamei after Kagoloss when the leftover Sakura's sang Sakura Mankai during the Nine-Smile concert. It took me that long to turn into a Kamei fan.

Similarly I prefered Sakura because of Yossy :lol: Sakura Mankai is imo one of the most iconic songs H!P has ever done, even though it's too gimicky (traditional sound, sakura/spring themed) to be performed regularly. But I also really like Ai no Sono.

I liked Otome more at first, but then Sakura Mankai kicked my ass.
