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

[Shoujo Q]

Hello~ The 4th Album is up for voting.

3rd Album had a bottom level tie so it got 4 songs going into the next round.

[JPope]

This one was tough, and it's not going to get any easier with No. 5.

Also, you didn't change the title of the poll!

[Shoujo Q]

Oops! All fixed now.

[Shoujo Q]

Album No. 5 is up for voting. Good Luck!

[JPope]

This one was a real PITA. To the person who voted for "Tsuyoki de Yukou ze!," right the fuck on! I wanted to pull the trigger on that one pretty bad -- and almost did based on the bass work alone -- but it was between that and TOP!, so...

Yeah this one was pretty hard lol

Album 5 is now closed. Album 6 is now open.

Took everything in my power not to vote for Dangerous Ass. (j/k it was never getting a vote from me.)

Man, I forgot about Dangerous Ass. That got so much shit during the heyday of the BBS.

Thank you for doing all this! It's like a blast from the past. I completely forgot about some of these album songs.

[DonJuan]

I couldn't stop myself, I voted for Dangerous Ass. Wasn't part of the bbs back then but still have great memories about it.

I’m surprised Koe has so many votes! It’s one of my favorites, but I always got the impression most people found it boring.

[JPope]

Koe is the best of the album tracks on the 6th album. I never warmed up to this album, so this is the first poll where I didn't use the full allotment of votes.

I’m with you there; I’ve always felt this was one of their weakest albums. The album art was cute and Koe is amazing, but it wasn’t one of my big favorites which was sad to me since 6th is my favorite generation and this was their first “regular” album.

[Shoujo Q]

Here's a big one. It's the 7th and 7.5 album.

You get 7 votes which I hope you'll use wisely.

Top 3 from each album will move on.

Why did I combine them? Because I'll be on break next week and I didn't want to create a delay in voting if I didn't get a chance to update the polls.

[Shoujo Q]

Happy New Year! We're back with Album 8!

[DonJuan]

Sexy 8 Beat was basically the first album that I listened to. Good memories.

[Shoujo Q]

It's time for the 9th album. Good luck, you only have 3 votes.

[JPope]

Ha ha! I didn't recognize "Ame no Furanai Hoshi de wa Aisenai Darou?" by name, and didn't bother to check what it was, so I didn't vote for it. Once I saw how many votes it had, I listened to it and was like, "oh yeah, woulda probably voted for that one." No biggie, though, because it allowed me to toss a vote for "It's You," which was the song that made me finally like Sayumi.

[Shoujo Q]

10th Album is Up.

Good Luck!

[DonJuan]

I WILL hold up my flag for Osaka Umainen.

[JPope]

I WILL hold up my flag for Osaka Umainen.

It's all yours! I've got "Ano Hi ni Modoritai" covered. I thought for sure that "Loving You Forever" was gonna run away with this, and that I'd be the only one not voting for it, but it turns out it was "Moonlight Night" instead.

[MejraThea]

I WILL hold up my flag for Osaka Umainen.

You're now my favorite person here.

[Shoujo Q]

I found a new love for Loving You Forever.

[Shoujo Q]

We're at the end of the Platinum era. It's only down hill from here folks.

Goood Luck! Once again, 3 votes each.

(And whoever didn't vote for Loving You Forever needs a relisten.)

[Purin-chama]

(And whoever didn't vote for Loving You Forever needs a relisten.)

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...

[DonJuan]

I didn't vote for it Don't know don't care.
Also I have a love-hate relationship with I'm lucky girl, sigh.

[arcobaleno]

This one was hard!

[Shoujo Q]

12th Album is up. Welcome to the back end of Platinum Era and the Birth of the Colorful Era!

I'll let you in on a little secret.

I forgot to buy this album.

It's the only one I don't own.

I swear I'll buy it one of these days.

[DonJuan]

Ironically, it's one of my most listened-to albums! And that's what makes choosing so hard.

[MejraThea]

Love Riho and all but I've never ranked this album very high lol. The albums are a classic bell curve to me. This one starts the down trend after the crest, just gets worse from here.

[JPope]

This was more difficult than I thought it'd be. I really wanted to vote for "Suki da na Kimi ga," but I realized that it was mostly the chorus that I really like. Other than "My Way ~Joshikou Hanamichi~," none of the full group tracks do much for me.
