Quite an interesting set-list! The songs with an asterix next to them haven’t appeared on any Morning Musume or other Hello! Project artist’s discography as of yet. One can assume most of them, if not all will be on the upcoming album COVER YUU, though a few of them I’ve never heard of.

I find it interesting Morning Musume will be performing W’s canceled final single, I wonder if it will use the arrangement meant for W?

Poll Results: Favourite Current Morning Musume Member?

Well these results are quite interesting and rather different from other recent poll results, I wonder why? Does my blog attract Junjun / Linlin lovers? Kusumi also ranked pretty low, almost shockingly so as she is generally quite a popular member. So here are the results;

1st Place: Junjun (113 Votes, 20%)
2nd Place: Takahashi Ai (84 Votes, 15%)
3rd Place: Niigaki Rsa (72 Votes, 13%)
4th Place: Linlin (68 Votes, 12%)
4th Place: Tanaka Reina (68 Votes, 12%)
5th Place: Kamei Eri (66 Votes, 12%)
6th Place: Michishige Sayumi (46 Votes, 8%)
7th Place: Kusumi Koharu (25 Votes, 4%)
8th Place: Mitsu Aika (19 Votes, 3%)
