I didn't even know this album existed. I need to go listen to Last Kiss.

Wagamama is one of my all time favorite songs... I'm surprised it made it to this round, though.

Well, that's a doozy... Only like 7-8 people have been voting, right?

This is the first time I wished we had more picks in a poll...

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.

Their voices mesh really well together. What group is Riai in?

I don't know if it's just Masaki's inflections are similar or what, but I got Maki-vibes from it.

That might have been me... Last album and this album is apparently around when I stopped paying attention to MM. I only voted for the two songs I do remember liking last week. This week, I am opting out...

Took everything in my power not to vote for Dangerous Ass. (j/k it was never getting a vote from me.) :suika: Man, I forgot about Dangerous Ass. That got so much shit during the heyday of the BBS. :lol: Thank you for doing all this! :wub: It's like a blast from the past. I completely forgot about s...

It might be! It was such a long time ago, my memory often fails me.

Absolutely. Not gonna lie, Miki and Shoji might be my favourite OG pair. A longer digest of the concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L31lNY6XA8 I want a studio recording of that arrangement of "Shall We Love?" It reminded me a lot of the one you did back in the day! Edit: I swear you...

I must have missed it... What happened with her last husband?

I think it hasn't been mentioned here before, but Takase Kurumi has gotten herself a major voice acting gig: She's voicing Karabayashi Aoba in the animation of the mixed media project Shine Post. It's a series about idol groups (how fitting) and already got a light novel serialisation and manga and...

The graduation concert list made me realise again what a crazy time 2004-2005 was. 5 graduations, and all top members, all important Golden Era members and among the most popular the group ever had. The fact that 5 years of the 25 basically got rid of all of Golden Era (2002 with Goto's grad to 200...

Man, that trophy is all sorts of awesome.

Morning Musume'22 version of I Wish will be released digitally on 3/18. The released a MV for it as well. ENJOY THE FEELS! OMG. https://youtu.be/GzSzUhUPNdI I don't know why but when I played it, the video decided to invert itself and they all looked like gargoyles! I couldn't figure out why they w...

Man, I wouldn't be able to pick her out of a line-up anymore!

Those harmonies are hella strong. I'm digging the song, weirdly enough.

I was surprised how many lines Akane even got. Felt like it was more than golden girl Maria.


One thing that kept tripping me out was how much Reina (in action) looked like Niigaki. The exaggerated "I'm so happy to be here" motions...and the hairstyle.

I had thought that the songs sung were released in the month they were representing since I remembered Koi no Nukegara was released in September. Apparently that was one of the few that lined up for that to happen. ????‍

I haven't been paying a lot of attention to Airi, but there's a performance for her first single Escape that appeared on YouTube. I'm really digging it
