Cross-posting this here because there are several Japanese labels/companies (like Up-Front) involved.

I wanted to find out who was behind some of my favourite new non-Tsunku H!P songs, as Angerme's Gashin Shoutan was playing in my head, and from the wikia comments discovered that it's actually some kind of mystery person.

See: http://helloproject.wikia.com/wiki/Hoshibe_Shou

I'd really like to know who it is, not just because it's a mystery, but because I feel like they're doing such a good job.

I got a reply from Up Front Link on facebook

----------

Dear *my name*,

First of all thank you for your message and your support towards our artists.
Concerning the videos, we know there is a problem with the MVs and we are sorry about this situation. The staff in charge of this is currently working on this subject with YouTube.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards.

So at least we know they're working on it

I'd even go as far as to say "At least we know that they care enough about the overseas fans to be willing to try to do something about it."

WotaInTranslation - Things we’ve learned from watching The Girls Live
*Tanaka Reina:“It’ll spill out if I don’t swallow it fast enough.”
*Miyamoto Karin: “I always watch movies starting with the ending, so I was surprised to notice how tiring it is to actually watch them from the beginning!”
*Miyamoto Karin: “I wish every person in the world was exactly the same.”
*Juice=Juice sneak into Miyamoto Karin’s room in the middle of the night; take picture of her that they must “never under any circumstances show anyone.“
*Does Tokunaga Chinami actually do anything besides GREEN ROOM?
*Tokunaga Chinami to study abroad! ~déjà vu~
*I’ll be honest: Oda-chan is my favorite 11th gen member!

WotaInTranslation - The professionals and the legends of Hello! Project
*Takagi Sayuki: “I don’t want anyone to think we’re bad singers and question our right to appear at Budokan.”
*Tamura “Idol Demon” Meimi: “Us not being able to dance or sing perfectly would be like a shop owner selling inferior products to his customers. It’s completely inexcusable.”
*Tamura Meimi: “I initially had a hard time getting used to the singing style of Hello! Project.”
*Matsuura Aya was the representative super idol of Japan
*“The legend of Hello! Project.” Quick, who’s the first person you just thought of?

^shige, tsunku, now riho.

for me tsunku and morning musume always belonged together.
he was such a good writer and composer.

he put so much heart and soul in the lyrics and music. such a gifted person.

his decision and the world keeps turning, but H!P without Tsunku just doesn't feel right.
