Project gaining sales and popularity faced with J-idol giant and superseller AKB48."<br /><br />I was a pretty big Morning Musume fan back in the day myself, in fact I got into them around the same time as yourself. I have since crossed over to the "dark side" of AKB with no real intention of looking back as I lost hope with H!P a year or two ago.<br /><br />This is relevant as from my experiences the Japanese public are even more fickle than I am. I may well check out some of the new stuff, you seem to be quite keen, I won't be in any rush though. The Japanese public like to latch on to the latest new thing though and I can't help but feel H!P has had it's time in the limelight as it's case of "been there done that".<br /><br />I would say that maybe I'm biased as a now AKB fan but I don't really think that's true, I'd love to see Morning Musume thrive again but I really don't think that Japanese public care enough if at all. The main problem for me personally is that the music takes a major back seat to the onscreen personalities of the girls on their shows and Morning Musume seem to have vanished from existence in that respect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364435391701649131.post-3566909128088196942011-04-04T12:32:53.017+01:002011-04-04T12:32:53.017+01:00Hey thanks Gregory!

I think it is a throwback to the Western girl and boy groups of the early/mid eighties, but Japan certainly puts their own spin on them for sure.Kleroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689759444645732933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364435391701649131.post-38734967581135637502011-04-03T03:56:47.137+01:002011-04-03T03:56:47.137+01:00Thanks for that that review, it was facinating, I ...Thanks for that that review, it was facinating, I must admit that while watching anime I had wondered where the music came from. I hadn't realised Japanese pop culture manufactured groups like this? Though I supppose it is just a reflection of the european and american girl groups. Anyway as I said damned interestingGregory Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04476560824795563382noreply@blogger.com
