Last one for semi finals. It’s the dreaded tiebreaker.
You have the weekend to think about it. The finals begin after that.

I don't think my pick will win. But I think the one that will win is also splendid!
Re: Morning Musume 25; Song for You [Be ALIVE!]
I know it's not supposed to be easy at this point, but got-dam, lol. I still haven't voted, but it's down to two songs. Hopefully I can decide by Wednesday!

Re: Morning Musume 25; Song for You [Be ALIVE!]
When I saw the finalists, my firs thought was that none of these would have made my top 5.
But then I rewatched Shabondama and man, that song is actually iconic and even two decades later I still absolutely love their rolling Rs and having them sing deep, not high pitched.
Plus, it might have the best MoMusu opening of any single.
Then I watched I Wish and it was a mix between shivers down my spine, wondering if I was about to cry and thinking "this is too cheesy". lol
It might be the best MoMusu MV though!
3, 2, 1 was great, but I don't see it as a top dog.
So yeah, my vote went to Shabondama. I forgot just how great it is.

Team Wake-up Call, Go x5!
Re: Morning Musume 25; Song for You [Be ALIVE!]
Quite frankly I'm surprised Shabondama has competition lol.

Not saying we might need a tiebreaker but…. We might need a tiebreaker.

Well, I know we're the soap bubble mms! But Utakata is also really good!
Re: Morning Musume 25; Song for You [Be ALIVE!]

Re: Morning Musume 25; Song for You [Be ALIVE!]

Re: Morning Musume 25; Song for You [Be ALIVE!]
I almost voted for I Wish last round instead of Wake-up Call. That would've been fun.
Re: Morning Musume 25; Song for You [Be ALIVE!]
I'm calling it.
Your winner is here. Thanks for playing. This whole project of a poll started in 2022 and now we're finally at the end. It's been a LONG road.
I hope you enjoyed this. It was frustrating at times, but I learned a lot along the way. So much so. I WILL be doing this again. But with a different group. Look forward to it. Gotta keep this place alive some how.

Re: Morning Musume 25; Song for You [Be ALIVE!]
That is one heck of a long organization!
Thanks for doing this. :)
How were the final votes for the two songs?
I felt like the vote was up for just like a day.
Re: Morning Musume 25; Song for You <COMPLETE> - Utakata Saturday Night!
It's been a pretty consistent vote of 9 people voting for a while. I got the 9 votes, I cut it off. But there was no need to worry. Utakata was ahead by 2 or 3 I believe.
Hopefully the next polling wont take as long.

It was between I WISH and Utakata for me originally, and had I gone with Utakata we wouldn't have needed the tie-breaker, lol.

I’m sad because I WISH is one of my most beloved songs, but I can respect Utakata getting #1! It’s catchy as all get.

"Fantasy ga Hajimaru" and "Wake Up Call" both making the finals kind of surprised me. I like both songs, but yeah. The craziest thing, though, is how the top song -- and two of the top four -- were not written by Tsunku.

Re: Morning Musume 25; Song for You <COMPLETE> - Utakata Saturday Night!
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 up call also surprised me, but I do enjoy it. Fantasy ga Hajimaru goes hard live, and it always gave one person that didn't get to sing much a focus (Sayumi, Maria) - and said person was/is an audience favourite. Top 5 is indeed surprising, but not so much as Wake up call imo.

Re: Morning Musume 25; Song for You <COMPLETE> - Utakata Saturday Night!
My favorite MM songs have been their album tracks going back to Thank you, too, which leads me to believe that UF gives Tsunku more creative leeway with long-players. Normally this would be MM's New Album year, and I wonder if last year's Best Selection collection will push that back or not?

While I’d love another Musume album, I’d like another single for the newbs before that. Let them get a bigger foothold with the fans and live performing.
