Well, in my opinion H!P does take the singing performance to another level. For example Berryz Kobo – gag 100 kaibun aishite kudasai (acapella version): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ-FVtSUvLs and their Dschinghis Khan + acapella (halfway): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLNTiPAdeaE

I just think H!P concerts seem more worth going to than AKB’s and I care more about how they really perform live than sales.

Lots of H!P stuff is lip sync’d too.

Take for example the Kirarin Revolution special live, they only sung one song live during the entire concert, and that song was cut out of the DVD release (presumably because it wasn’t sung particularly well).

I like both H!P and AKB48. Regardless to how many single sales they each have. H!P OWNS AKB48 for live stage performances, all AKB48 does is mostly lipsync and try to concentrate on the simple dances. Morning Musume has more energy and stage presence/charisma than AKB; that’s why some people still love H!P, they don’t care if AKB48 are ‘in’ nowadays. I bet you international fans are more impressed with MM when they went to LA and Paris to do a concert than AKB48. AKB are just covered up with their single sales success rather than their spontaneous performances live. Though, I love AKB’s dramas *___*

Yeah.
MM is pretty much on the edge of falling. I just wait and see how long will Tsunku keep on feeding MM without open up his eyes. Or he had enough money to take care the rest of his life?
Just don’t let MM pull the other H!P’s groups to its grave.
Stupid Tsunku….

“Their group division is terrible and useless because there are still too many of them, I’d divide them into smaller and more sensible numbered groups like Hello! Project does”

Who says AKB48 doesn’t divide them into sensible groups, open your frickin eyes!
They have No.3b (3 ppl), Queen & Elizabeth (2 ppl), Watarirouka Hashiritai (5ppl), and they divide the teams into A K and B (approx 19 ppl each), for your information.

Want more? I will hereby explaining you about the groups are divided into SENBATSU and UNDERGIRLS for each songs to date.. Each group have fewer girls to perform well on the single..

And so if I recall, Watarirouka Hashiritai’s first week release beat the overall first week release of Momusu’s in Onna ga blah blah single

As an old saying, YOU DON’T KNOW, SO YOU WON’T LIKE….

At least every Morning Musume member were/are noticed, instead of being bombarded with like 50 girls (like Onyanko Club and AKB48); people don’t even know half of them and most of them just do backup dancing instead of actually having their own camera time. Their group division is terrible and useless because there are still too many of them, I’d divide them into smaller and more sensible numbered groups like Hello! Project does.

The cheesey part was replying to cmn ^^; Tsunku has always written MM’s songs from when they started, so it’s not like he lost it or anything (it was probably just this time). But I would blame Tsunku for the bad choice of members recently, maybe it’s a time to shoot out a Morning Musuko?? xDD (joking). It’s just UFA’s choices and funding that is letting Morning Musume down (the budget pvs, photo shoots, concerts etc.) and they seem to think using the same formula over and over again is okay just for the money. But oh well, isn’t this stuff likely happen if a group were still around after 10 years? It’s just bad management. Their new single isn’t that bad, I actually prefer the B side to the A side anyways. ^^;

For the record... I didn't call MM cheesey anywhere in my post. There is absolutely nothing wrong with cheesey music, cheesey music is fun! I'd say Onyanko Club were the "classic" Japanese girl group, they somewhat pre-date Morning Musume by *a long* way. "Tsunku just writes songs and lyrics" ...why blame UFA then? By your admission they didn't write the crap song, Tsunku♀ did.

Oh and NEVER blame Tsunku. Blame UFA. Tsunku just writes songs and lyrics.

Morning Musume or Hello! Project groups never has specific genres o-o. You might as well just call the genre ‘tsunku’ or ‘h!p’ xDDD Lol. And you call Morning Musume cheesey!? AKB48 are FULL of cheese and their PVs make them look even more cheesey o-O This is just a new generation group for gathering more wotas in the future. Morning Musume is proudly known to be the classic japanese girl group.
