I tried making a list of stuff I liked and stuff I didn’t but most of it just fell into the not like category and I got burned out about halfway through.


My main thought while I was re-listening to everything? Almost everything sounded really dated like it hadn’t aged well even thought it’s all new material. I kept asking myself if most of this really came out this year.

I am definitely in the H!P slump I enter every so often because I haven't listened to enough of these to even begin to form a ranking.

I'm trying to make a youtube playlist with all of these but since Beyooooonds' album just came out (and because I'm on vacation and only on my phone) it takes some time.

I’m in a bit of a slump this year too. “Hitori de Ikiraresou tte” is amazing. Other than that there’s some good ones but nothing I really love.

I'm not in any H!P slump at the moment (seems like my slumps coincide with the rest of the board being into it, lol), so here's my Top 25 for 2019:
 
1. Haru Urara - KF</div>
<div>2. Gannen Bungee Jump - BY
3. Fuwari, Koi Dokei - TF
4. Atsui! - BY
5. Dou ni mo Tomaranai - W
6. One Summer Night - CG
7. Keseyashinai Kimochi - KF
8. Mou Ippou - ANG
9. Come with me - KF
10. GIRL ZONE - BY
11. Koi wa Accha Accha - ANG
12. "Hitori de Ikirare Sou" tte Sore tte Nee, Homete Iru no? - JJ
13. Nobishiro ~Beyond the World~ - BY
14. Sankaime no Date Shinwa - TF
15. Zenzen Okiagarenai SUNDAY - ANG
16. Seishun Night - MM
17. Toei Oedo-sen no Roppongi Eki de Dakishimete - BY
18. Nippon no D.N.A! - BY
19. Potsurito - JJ
20. Akai Earphone - ANG
21. Ashita no Watashi wa Kyo Yori Kirei - KF
22. Itoshi Itoshi to Say My Heart - ANG
23. Uchi no Kagitte Sonna Koto wa nai Hazu - W
24. Jinsei, Sunawachi Panta Rhei - ANG
25. Kinoko Takenoko Daisenki - BY

"Haru Urara" made an impression on me early that not even the undeniable funk of Bungee Jump could get past. "Fuwari, Koi Dokei" is one of those great Japanese-infused ballads that H!P does so well, and it's one of the best. All in all, a really good year for H!P. Three good-to-great albums and a bunch of good-to-great singles. I honestly don't even miss Morning Musume at this point.

Oh, and let's make this my Top 26 list by knocking every song above down one spot, because the best H!P-adjacent song of 2019 was "Tokyo Confusion" by PINK CRES. I know, I'm still in awe of how good it is.

Here is the Youtube playlist.
 
Unfortunately quite a few songs are missing: A few of Country Girls' album songs and all of W's songs except for Dou ni mo Tomaranai. Yes, even the Choi Waru Devil one. Oh, and the Jiyuu no Kuni Dakara TV EDIT version.
 
I haven't listened to all the songs yet, so I'm gonna express myself in the classic colour style of Love, Like, Okay, Dislike and Hate and mark the rest in cursive.
 
Morning Musume '19
  • Watashi no Nanni mo Wakacchanai (Morning Musume '15 Ver.) (Honestly? The "new" version has a lot more punch)
  • Akogare no Stress-free (Morning Musume '18 Ver.)
  • Jiyuu no Kuni Dakara (TV EDIT)
  • Koishite Mitakute
  • I surrender Aisaredo Ai
  • Jinsei Blues
  • Seishun Night
Another meh year for Morning Musume.
 
ANGERME
  • Koi wa Accha Accha
  • Yumemita 15nen
  • I Musou Strong!
  • Akai Earphone
  • Flag wo Bukkawase!
  • Kaeritakunai na.
  • Itoshi Itoshi to Say My Heart
  • Mou Ippou
  • Jinsei, Sunawachi Panta Rhei
  • Kagami no Kuni no Hinekure Queen
  • Konya mo Suteki ni Ochitsukenai
  • Watashi no Yumemita 15nen
  • Watashi wo Tsukeru no wa Watashi (I know this is a song from the new single but I don't remember anything??)
  • Zenzen Okiagarenai SUNDAY
  • Myouban, Galaxy Gekijou de
SUNDAY is a good song, but it's just not one that I go back to listening to every other day.
 
Juice=Juice
  • Bitansan
  • Potsurito
  • Good bye & Good luck!
  • "Hitori de Ikirare Sou" tte Sore tte Nee, Homete Iru no?
  • 25sai Eien Setsu
  • "Hitori de Ikirare Sou" tte Sore tte Nee, Homete Iru no? (New Vocal Ver.)
It's no surprise that Juice is the big winner this year. They've completely won me over with Bitansan and then they hit me with Hitori de a few months later.
 
Country Girls
  • Yowaki Joshi Taibu Todoke
  • Itooshikutte Gomen ne ('19 five girls version)
  • One Summer Night ~Manatsu no Kesshin~
  • Natsuiro no Palette
  • Zutto Zutto
  • Hajimete no Happy Birthday! (2015 Country Girls Ver.)
  • Uwaki na Honey Pie (2015 Country Girls Ver.)
Yeah gotta be honest, I haven't really listened to them in some time. Just shows how important MVs are.
 
Kobushi Factory
  • Oh No Ounou (It would be A LOT better without the weirdly unfitting "Oh no!"s in it)
  • Haru Urara
  • Nen ni wa Nen (Acapella Ver.)
  • Come with me
  • Suki Kamo Shirenai
  • Keseyashinai Kimochi
  • Hirakinaocchae!
  • Yes! We are family ~Kobushi ver.~
  • Unlucky no Jijou
  • Kame ni Nare!
  • Shalala! Yareru Hazu sa (2019 ver.) (Again though, the originally released version had a lot more punch.)
  • Dokan to BREAK!
  • Ashita no Watashi wa Kyo Yori Kirei
  • Yes! We are family ~FC Machida Zelvia ver.~
  • Chotto Guchoku ni! Chototsu Moushin (Acapella Ver.)
  • GO TO THE TOP!! (Acapella Ver.)
  • Samba! Kobushi Janeiro 2019 (Acapella Ver.)
  • Sakura Night Fever (Acapella Ver.)
  • LOVE Machine (Acapella Ver.)
Have I only listened to the Acapella part of the album yet? Yes.
 
Tsubaki Factory
  • Sankaime no Date Shinwa
  • Fuwari, Koi Dokei
  • Mou Saikou!
  • Nineteen no Shinkirou ('19 Summer Ver.)
BEYOOOOONDS (CHICA#TETSU, Ame no Mori Kawa Umi)
  • Megane no Otoko no Ko
  • Nippon no D.N.A!
  • Go Waist
  • GIRL ZONE
  • Bunkasai Jikkou Iinchou no Koi
  • Toei Oedo-sen no Roppongi Eki de Dakishimete
  • Atsui!
  • Takanawa Gateway Eki go Dekiru Koro ni wa
  • We Need a Name!
  • Sokora no Yatsu to wa Onaji ni Saretakunai
  • Kinoko Takenoko Daisenki
  • Sayokyoku "Megane no Otoko no Ko"
  • Koi no O-Swing
  • Gannen Bungee Jump
  • Renai Bugyo
  • Nobishiro ~Beyond the World~
I mean sure I liked Juice's releases more, but Beyooooonds was pretty awesome as well.

I updated my list, because I forgot how great "One Summer Night" was until I was reminded of it today. Huge oversight on my part.
