MY 200TH IS DEDICATED TO THE 4TH
There are a few key Hello Project figures who I credit with sparking my interest in the whole deal, but if I can credit one subset of members with really setting things off, it's Morning Musume's Fantastic Four(th), AKA the goofball generation. They pretty much have always served as my entry point: They were the first ones I really took notice of in Ayaka's English Lessons; my first UFA-related purchase was Hangry & Angry's Sadistic Dance album; Minimoni was the first H!P group I was ever aware of thanks to random Wikipedia surfing and silly YouTube memes; heck, I even knew who Aibon was years before I actually knew who she was because of [noembed]

).
It's sometimes sad to see these recent 4th gen group photos that only feature 3 of them, and it's a shame that we may never see a full reunion (of course you can never really say never), but it's good to see all of them still staying active after all these years, and they definitely have a legacy that has yet to be matched.
