Man why did the fashion from Platinum era suck so much? I've never been into fashion but almost all of the costumes they were given for singles are so unflattering. Kimagure Princess is the best they styled the group as a whole.
Ranma was my first anime series. Then Robotech, Speed Racer, Kimagure Orange Road, Ah My Goddess, Uresai Yatsura, Lodoss Wars, Vampire Princess Miyu, Irresponsible Captain Tyler, Devil Hunter Yokho, Project Ako, Bastard, Video Girl Ai….
i suggest adding Ranma, Robotech, and Speed Racer (I think it was on MTV)
well. Considering that a) polls cannot be edited, b) they cannot contain more than a dozen options, and c) Speed Racer came out 28 years before I was born, I'm gonna have to say uh. No?
However: you are free to make your own! If you'd like to see how many people share your taste/experience/age, then by all means have at it!
Qhat are your fav Hello Project songs? As many as you want to list + I don't mind obscure ones or ones from not main groups (a lot of my favs were from shuffle unit projects lol)
Oooh that's a fun & challenging question! I have a lot of favorites, so I added the list after the 'read more'. Making this list made me wish they'd just put the H!P songs on Spotify already ; . ;
I also loved the shuffle units! Especially a lot they did around the time of 2009, those were so much fun <3
(I bolded my ultimate favorites :P)

By the way, when I was asked about a recently HAPPY story,
I was shocked that I wasn't able to say anythinggggg 🤦♀️
CHO DAI is,
Dark? it has a mysterious atmosphere
I really like it because of that 😳
To celebrate Morning Musume's 25th anniversary, someone posted a bunch of fun questions about your fandom on Twitter and since I'm locked over there and I want to get wordy, I'm gonna answer them here lol
1. Who's your ultimate oshi?
It used to be Hitomi, but, uh... yeah, ever since she was arrested and jailed for drunk driving, she's been pretty much erased by Up-Front Group 😬 All that happened while I was not actively following MM. So I think Risa has taken her place for me.
4. What's your favorite subgroup or unit related to Morning Musume?
Tanpopo, Melon Kinenbi, Coconuts Musume, Otome Gumi, Def. Diva, Viyuden, Country Musume, the themed shuffle groups
5. What song did you listen to first?
Renai Revolution 21
6. What MV did you watch first?
Same as above - that's how I discovered the group - I remember it was a small low quality RealPlayer video (I'm Old, Yusuke Dot Gif)
7. What concert did you watch first?
Live Revolution 21 Haru - Yuko's graduation - I bought a definitely not at all bootleg VCD of it off YesAsia way way back in the day lol
8. What song made you like Morning Musume?
Renai Revolution 21!
9. What are your favorite songs?
Oh Jesus, way too many to list them all out here lol. I will put Do It! Now and Love Machine as maybe the like top faves. I have those memorized. I want to sing them at karaoke someday.
10. What are your favorite MVs?
Renai Revolution 21 for obvious reasons and Do It! Now. Also I remember they used to be called PVs! And I tied an onion to my belt, which was the fashion at the time.
11. What are your favorite singles?
Pls I cannot possibly list them all out haha. I will give some more recent stuff some love though - love Brand New Morning, Jinsei Blues and Teenage Solution.
12. What are your favorite albums?
Old shit lol like. 4th Ikimasshoi. No. 5. Rainbow 7. Sexy 8 Beat. Fantasy Juuichi.
13. What are your favorite concerts?
Live Revolution Haru 21, was able to watch that one again during the pandemic. I also watched a bunch of others thanks to YouTube during that time - mainly stuff from the Golden era - and that was very nice.
14. What's your favorite group era?
From about like 2005 to 2007 I really remember following each new release closely! I definitely remember learning about Koharu and Aika joining, hearing their debut singles, etc. (I first heard Egao Yes Nude from a radio rip mp3 lol it had a few seconds of the DJ introducing the song. AGAIN, I'm old Yusuke dot gif. Things have changed so much now and now their music is way more accessible, which is awesome!) This era was the second half of my high school career as well, so there are just nice nostalgic feelings all around.
15. A stage outfit you like
Nothing immediately comes to mind, but when I watched those old concerts it was very fun to be like oh God the early 2000s fashion. Like. Wearing a skirt and jeans at the same time. I did that.
16. A single or album outfit you like
Brand New Morning (thank you Comrade Morning Musume), One Two Three, Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game, Kimagure Princess, Kanashimi Twilight, Osaka Koi no Uta, The Peace, Renai Revolution 21, Love Machine, Summer Night Town, Fantasy Juuichi
17. Lyrics that made a mark on you
I often get emotional in like a happy way at 平凡な私にだって出来るはず (heibon na watashi ni datte dekiru hazu, "even plain old me can do it, of course") from Souda! We're Alive. It's just so encouraging!
18. A performance that made a mark on you
There was this one concert I watched and it featured what I think was the last appearance of Tanpopo before they broke up. It might have been at Kaori's graduation concert? Anyway, they're trying to sing and they're just so emotional at this being the last time that they just can't stop crying 💔
19. A song that you hated at first but like now
I don't think I have any of these lol I tend to like things at first or just not give them a second thought at all. Though I have come around a bit on Namida ga Tomaranai Houkago
20. Which concert do you like the most?
Probably Live Revolution 21 lol
21. Who are your favorite OG members?
Kaori, Yuko, Kei, Sayaka, Ai K, Reina, Eri, Miki
22. Which graduation made you cry the most?
All of them always get me misty!
23. Which OG members do you want to see perform with the current group?
Kei! I love her voice!
24. This asks for a favorite picture of my oshi but I don't have any on hand lol
25. Have you ever participated in an event or concert?
No but I love that that's possible from abroad now!
