Remember when Hello! Project tried to branch out to other parts of Asia? Taiwan, Korea, China. I wonder what kind of empire would it be if they hadn't blown their chance by making such weirdass concepts like Ice Creamusume. They had pretty good members ok but seriously what the heck. Berryz covering certified thai bops like cha cha sing and Loving you too much and the flash mob idea was cool too. Risako and Yurina had the looks to be memorable to audiences too. Never again?

yeah tsunku (main hellopro song producer + guy who is basically gets to play god of that collective) really liked r&b stuff and was great at producing tracks for it but he gave a lot of thsoe songs to the younger members who couldn't carry the vocals as well so it's a little silly sometimes. There were definitely a few Morning Musume songs I know of with a lot of Indian apropriation with the belly dance type thing too though.

He also had this weird fascination with Hawaii being cute and sexy so there are quite a few songs like that.

Morning Musume had some spinoff groups like Country Musune (Girls from Hokkaido or something) Ice Creamusume (inexplicably ice cream themed Taiwanese officially licensed Momusu cover group) and Coconuts Musume which was made up of several kaigai girls that one of Tsunku's associates brought back to Japan on vacation

One of their projects HelloPro Kids had a handful of units of really young girls who made silly songs for kids, but then one of their most popular ones minimoni dropped THIS???

and then went straight back to making silly songs about numbers and their favorite fruits??

My favorite group °C-ute was a HelloPro kids group that sort of went the same route but stuck with it, and five of the original lineup stayed for the entire group's career, with bo new entries, so it was a rare thing

When they got older they took a more sexy/pop thrn but it was less r&by

In the 90s/2000s tsunku used to pick a bunch of girls from the collective and make shuffle units, for a televised project covering the making of the MVs and a contest for the CD sales. Anf these songs were so good but he really unleashed his weird thing for certain types of music.

Shiawase Desu Ka may be one of my favoritr HP songs but the breakdown?? uhh huh yeah come on sexy 8! and the rap came out of nowhere where does this fit??

okay. sorry spent too many years of my life accumulating hp knowledge and I have the flu or something so this happens

you are truly a hellopro scholar...

I never thought about what it would be like to have a career where you write and produce songs for other people and the influences that you like might not suit them. if you're a singer and you love r&b you can just add some r&b vibes to your music but it seems a little harder to add some r&b vibes to the songs you're writing for a bunch of teenage girls...

the outfits in that minimoni song are atrocious but they're such skilled dancers and the song is good too. this mv and the mv for shiawase desu ka are like time capsules to me. it's like I've been blasted back to 2002. I almost can't focus on the music bc I'm too busy looking at the outfits

It always struck me as silly when people talk about failed H!P members (Mitsui Aika, Ogawa Makoto, Suzuki Kanon) or units (Juice=Juice). Really the fact you even remember them as members or units means they were somewhat successful. The only ones that can really be called failures are the ones that ended before they even begun (Ice creamusume, SI☆NA).
