Morning Musume: from 1.gen to 8.gen

I haven’t written here for awhile, but since I have some spare time now (it’s almost midnight and the Eurovision is playing in the background so…) I decided to write down some thoughts of mine about the girls of Momusu. All of them. I don’t have many opinions of them all, but I’ll try write something of each.

Starting from the original members:

1.generation

Nakazawa Yuko

Since knowing Morning Musume Nakazawa has been one of my favourites; she’s THE Leader and has a quite personality. She has the appearence and the voice. Good examples and my favourites from Nakazawa are her Kuyashi Namida Porori and Akai Nikkichou (Akagumi 4). Her stage presence is also magnificent: watching her solo in the last Elder Club dvd is very touching and makes me regret that I didn’t have a chance to see her perform live in any H!P concert.

Iida Kaori

Kaori has been little bit- I don’t know- stranger for me.  She has the voice, yes, and I love that she kept her hair long for the entire time she was in Momusu. But beside her Utaban-personality she hasn’t charmed me that much.

Abe Natsumi

Nacchi has been a fanfavourite for a long time and that’s something that usually drives me away. I tend to cheer for the “underdogs” and totally ignore the main girls. But. In time Nacchi has begun to catch my eye; I love her song Screen and her recent trip to Iceland with Yaguchi was very amusing to watch. Nevertheless I will always have my little prejudices about Nacchi, the Star of H!P.

Fukuda Asuka

I haven’t really watched her, all I can say is that she has a good voice.

Ishiguro Aya

Like Fukuda, I can’t really say anything about her, but man,  she sounds amazing in Last Kiss(Tanpopo). Her Love Machine pose in Utaban was hilarious too!

2. generation

Yaguchi Mari


The little power house. She has the looks, the voice and the most important; the personality. The classic Mechaike episodes cracks me up every time. Actually, every tv appereance that she is in is pure gold.

Yasuda Kei


I love Kemeko’s winks, despite they are lethal ;) She’s defenitely someone that’s been the underdog in times, but with the help of Utaban she has really developed quite a personality. I loved her with Yaguchi in their performance of Otome no Shinrigaku in the Elder Club graduation.Not to mention that she’s multitalented with sax, flute and other instruments!

Ichii Sayaka

Can’t say much about Kaa-san, she wasn’t in long enough to charm me over.

3.generation

Goto Maki


Once again, since Maki was one of the front  girls I didn’t really pay that much attention to her. But when she moved to Avex… I love Lady-Rise and her new style altogether.

4.generation

Yoshizawa Hitomi


Yossie is one of my favourites, she just dazzled me with her persona when I first saw her. She has it all. She has shined in every group that she’s been and makes every performance worth of watching

Ishikawa Rika


I didn’t like Rika at first, but year ago or so she started to catch my eye. Now I can actually laugh at the lame stories that she came up with in Utaban etc. I like her in Hangry&Angry, they are very compatitible with Yossy and together they make perfect duo.

Tsuji Nozomi


With Kago she shined, alone she’s just okay.

Kago Ai


Kago is still one of my favourites regardless all of her scandals.  I love her voice and together with Tsuji she was something remarkable.

5.generation

Takahashi Ai


Takahashi has been always my least favourite Gokkie and still is.  She is talented in every way, but there’s something in her personality that bothers me.

Niigaki Risa


Gakisan! One of my favourites. I wish Tsunku would give her more spotlight since she really deserves it. She has proved her talent over and over again in singing, acting and overall stage presence. We need more Gaki! I need moar Gaki!

Ogawa Makoto


Another favourite of mine. Ogawa has stunning looks, great personality and she’s a awesome dancer! Too bad Tsunku didn’t use her skills enough when she was in Momusu. I love her in Get Up!Rapper and Mushoku Toumei na Mama de.

Konno Asami


Konkon!  I admire her intelligence  and she’s so cute too <3

6.generation

Kamei Eri


Almost forgot to write about Eri. I like her voice, but that’s about it.

Michishige Sayumi


Sayu in tv shows: priceless. Sayu singing: could do without. I actually like her doing all the “Ahh” and “Unh”‘s in the recent singles xD

Tanaka Reina


Part one of members that I don’t like. She annoys me  really, the fact that she gets lot of spotlight has much to do with it.

Fujimoto Miki

Part two of members that I don’t like. In my opinion Tsunku should’ve kept her as a soloist. To my eyes she seemed always so irritated when interacting with Momusu members.

7.generation

Kusumi Koharu

Part three of members that I don’t like. She just wasn’t the ace to me.

8.generation

Mitsui Aika

I like her deep voice, but that’s it.

JunJun

JunJun! My beloved JunJun! She has fastly become one of my top favourites. Her voice is still developing as is her dance, but her looks are one to die for. She really needs a photobook!

LinLin

LinLin reminds me so much of Mika(Coconuts Musume) and she has such a quirky personality. Since her joining to Momusu she has become to show much more of herself and has good foundaution to build a good career on.
