My Favorite Momusu Songs![]
I have been a fan of Hello! Project since last year ever since I briefly watched "Sugaku Joshi Gakuen" and have been watching some of the groups' music videos, unofficial lyrics videos, etc. by the goodness of Youtube. LOL! Anyways, my favorite band from Hello! Pro is Morning Musume. (Aka Momusu by other fans and some magazines and tabloids.) Morning Musume has been one of the most famous Japanese pop idol groups ever since the group's formation in 1997. According to the Oricon charts, it holds the second overall single sales (of a female group) as of February 2012; only second to another popular girl group, AKB48. Besides their sold singles being bought internationally, Momusu has sold 18 million singles in their homeland of Japan alone! Isn't that amazing. Since being exposed to the Chinese-speaking market in 2007, the group officially adopted the name Jao An Sou Nu Jou (which is Chinese for: "good morning girl's group".). Since then, Morning Musume has been making many attempts to make it into new markets in Asia, Europe, and the US; being able to perform in EXPOs worldwide. The group's name is translated into Morning Girls and still consists of girls in their late adolescene and early twenties. This has remained, more or less, unchanged since its formation. New members can be added into the group by anual nationwide auditions, while other members have already "graduated" from the group. Here's a list on the current Morning Musume line-up:
Sayumi Michishige- Leader (2003-) Color: Pink
Mizuki Fukumura- Sub-leader (2011-) Color: Hot Pink
