『書いては消しての “I Love You”』 So first off, I am not a big Country Girls fan. I have nothing against them, I just was never a big fan of their music. But there is a logical reason for this. I entered the fandom around 2013, then in 2014 I went to law school, so, naturally I…

Morning Musume – Daite Hold On Me
Ooohhhh~ Hold on Me~ Ah Tsunku and 90’s dance grooves. A match made in heaven. I think this song is a bit weird if you never heard music coming out of Japan in the second half of the 90’s. Artists like Namie, Speed, and Hikki were making sounds like this. Namie Speed Hikki These songs…
Juice=Juice – Sexy Sexy
Juice=Juice – Sexy Sexy作詞：つんく 作曲：つんく 編曲：平田祥一郎 So this song was done by a classic combination of Tsunku and Hirata Shoichiro. They were responsible for my favorite Juice=Juice song “Watashi ga Iu Mae ni Dakishimenakya ne,” and one of my favorite Morning Musume Songs “CHO DAI.” So this song is on a slick mid-tempo vibration, it could almost…
つばきファクトリー『就活センセーション』
つばきファクトリー『就活センセーション』作詞・作曲：中島卓偉 編曲：ダンス☆マン So this is the combination of Takui and Danceman, the mix of british rock and african american funk. I looove the results! Takui can not be stopped as a writer for Hello Project. This man started off with taike bansei and has impressed me many time. As far as Dance Man goes, nothing else…
アンジュルム – マリオネット37℃
アンジュルム – マリオネット37℃作詞:児玉雨子 作曲:星部ショウ 編曲:CMJK Lyrics were by Kodama Ameko, song was composed by Hoshibe Sho, and song was arranged by CMJK. This is one of my favorite Angerme songs (not including S/milage). I personally associate S/milage with Tsunku and Angerme with the new wave of composers musically. So this is certainly one of my…

モーニング娘。’16『セクシーキャットの演説』作詞：つんく 作曲：つんく 編曲：大久保薫This song was composed by Tsunku and arranged by Okubu Kaoru. This song was released on November 23, 2016 and was Morning Musume’s 62nd single. I really really love this song. It one of my favorite songs that Morning Musume put out between album 14 and 15. Apparently not everyone shares my views,lol. No matter,…
こぶしファクトリー『サンバ！こぶしジャネイロ』
こぶしファクトリー『サンバ！こぶしジャネイロ』作詞・作曲：星部ショウ 編曲：hasiejaneiro/ブラスアレンジ：竹上良成 This song was written and composed by Hoshibe Sho and it was arranged by hasiejaneiro, with the brass arranged by Takegami Yoshinari. Here is the instrumental. I can not find any info on hasiejaneiro or Takegami, I guess they just helped on this song, or is an alias. Song HistoryThis song was released on…
モーニング娘。’18 -『Are you Happy?』
モーニング娘。’18『Are you Happy?』 作詞：つんく 作曲：つんく 編曲：平田祥一郎Tsunku and Shoichiro. I have no other words. Classic combo. I generally won’t be talking about the idols in this space too much, but I am compelled to since this was Ogata’s last single. She looks so great in this video and she will be missed by me. I don’t think she…
つばきファクトリー「デートの日は二度くらいシャワーして出かけたい」
つばきファクトリー「デートの日は二度くらいシャワーして出かけたい」 作詞：つんく 作曲：つんく 編曲：江上浩太郎 SMFH, fricking Tsunku… You are making me seem like I have no variety and I just cover your songs!!!!!!!!! It kinda pisses me off. Egami Kotaro arranged the song. I personally remember him the most fondly from his work on Berryz Koubou’s 1 roku 3 zen man sou diet song. It was the…

So on Wota in Translation there was a post about who the greatest member of all time for Morning Musume. I created a long detailed response and my browser would not let me post it on henkka’s site, so I’m gonna turn it into a Blog. I do not know what “greatest means, but I’m…
