At least Koda Kumi has a decent resemblance of ability when it comes to singing / dancing. But it's not surprising at all, and nowadays its a waste of time to really go indepth of the rankings of the Oricon chart. Meanwhile, I dont get the cd till like the 20th... T.T dance. It'll be worth it definitely if I don't see the single posted online SOMEWHERE in 20 days roflllllllll. *edit* I found it online rofllllllllllll. oh welllllll. they're not buying cds, they're buying boxes of cds | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/C3sxS.jpg) New single in July, Concert tour in Aug. New mini-album also in Aug, and talk of a style change. ------ On June 01 2011 14:49 MorningMusume11 wrote: Meanwhile, BRIGHT's newest song live :D I'm a huge fan of this song. Any idol group known more for singing talent than wearing lingerie to boost wota sales gets a plus in my book. It's also extremely refreshing to see female fans in the audience. | ||

As long as I live, even if I'm covered in rocks, I'll yell in a loud voice that I'll do my best! Do my best! (Do my best!) There's no stopping my life, so I'll sing a never-ending song You can't think that the answers exist somewhere The answers only exist inside you You're cool Just the way you are, with your honest feelings and everything etc. To be honest, I do wish they were more popular with girls than they are with (mostly male) wota. Outside of japan, they definitely are more popular with girls. + Show Spoiler [most relaxing song ever] + | ||

 Out of all the main idol groups, there probably isn't much to begin with but H!P acts probably have the most substance song wise (lyrically, musically) due to Tsunku being their producer. After all he even did stuff for Ayumi Hamasaki of all people lol | ||

H!P is becoming so boring now duuh, I used to love Berryz Kôbô and °C-ute but their song are shitty now, and they have no budget compared to Momusu. @Piggiez: Sleepy.ab is an interesting group definitely, calm songs mostly. I should listen them more. | ||

I should listen them more. H!P's been so popular throughout the years its probably about time they started becoming dull to a good amount of people lol. Correct me if I'm wrong but I knew trance was like something immovable when it comes to dance music, especially in Europe but it seems like even Trance runs into a dull moment (Especially when you need to invite house artists to Sensation White...). lol and I had no idea Tsunku didn't produce Buono! at all, especially since it consists the main stars of both C-ute and Berryz. Japan's mainstream rock I think is amazing out of the oriental countries (JP, KR, CN). Too bad I don't enjoy rock music like I used too... Meanwhile Korea has the more established (and probably just a bit better than Japan) R&B scene. Meanwhile YUKALI... wow | ||
