Japan (1997 – present)
Morning Musume. is a Japanese all female j-pop group and the core group under the more expansive Hello! Project (H!P for short). Formed in 1997 when the producer of the band, Tsunku, challenged the 5 runner-ups of a TV competition, where they competed to become the lead singer of Sharan Q, to sell 50,000 copies of their demo single “Ai no Tane” in 5 days. They were successful and the reward was to be fully produced as their own act by producer Tsunku.
In a year, their popularity had surpassed the winner of the original competition (Michiyo Heike); in three they had surpassed the popularity of Sharan Q, who had broken up to become full time producers. The reach of MM and H!P extends to music, TV, radio, film, modeling, commercials, their own PS2 and GBA games, as well as their own indoor futsal and kickball, though their popularity has been waning in recent years. They also quickly became, and still remain one of Japan’s top all girl groups with a number of hit records and albums. They have sold over 16,379,822 copies in Japan only.
The members of Morning Musume change often. Every year or two, auditions were held to add new members. The last audition held for the group were in 2006. Morning Musume’s current lineup has 9 members, none of which are the original five or the three generations that followed. The current lineup has lasted the longest without any graduations or additions (June 1st, 2007 - present). Takahashi Ai is the current leader of Morning Musume and Hello!Project and Niigaki Risa is the sub-leader.

The Yomiuri Land DVD is coming, and there a lot of B-sides on that. I love Sukiyaki too..but I hear the outfits Koharu & Risa wore for it this tour were extremely ugly =(

Sukiyaki! [2] They should perform Sukiyaki at every concert. I love How Do You Like This Japan!, but they should switch it up and do Sukiyaki instead :D I wish they would do a B-side concert!

P9D was one of their worst albums.[2] However that does not make it a bad album. I Just think among all their albums that its in bottom 3 for me (3rd Paradise is still my least favorite). Every album they put out is great. I would even put P9D in my top 5 albums of the year, but when you compare it to amazing albums like 4th Ikimasshoi!, Ai no Dai 6 Kan (best album ever made!), and Rainbow 7; its not AS good. I want Ai, Reina and Gaki to have a solo in 10MM!!

Rainbow 7 is my all-time favourite MoMusu album, with 4th Ikimasshoi and Second Morning a close second (lol). What would I give for something similar to R7, but I'm really holding out for a Gaki solo here. I know Yowamushi was the closest thing, but I mean come on :(. Yossie got a solo on her last album, don't make Gaki wait that long please Tsunku. My only wish for 10MM =).
