Don't know if this was seen here before, but YouTuber dvl009tk just posted this......excuse me, I have something in my eye, let me just get a tissue.....

Been having some crazy Momusu nostalgia the past few days... was thinking the fact that most of my favorites are gone would deter me from watching the new stuff but I guess the love never dies.

...now to figure out who 9th and 10th gen are.

J-Triumf · « **Reply #404 on:** February 25, 2012, 01:07:36 PM »

^ 9th gen is awesome, I can tell you that.

10th gen...well, I guess I too need to do some catching up!

Yes, I comfess I've been slacking off on paying attention to the newest of noobs, and I plan on fixing that soon.

Quietriot · « **Reply #405 on:** February 25, 2012, 01:19:50 PM »

^ That's what I keep hearing, so I suppose I should give them a chance.

And its easier to pay attention when there are fewer girls like with 7th/8th gen ahaha

i comfess i only know a bunch about 9th gen. because Slack and Chibs speech at irc.. from the 10th i know kinda nothing... i blame my ase wota phase but so far i can tell that Mizuki must be the cutest, prettiest girl from the group :3 plus she is very talented so \o/

mbcmschannel posted this back at the end of 2011....you have the four 9th gen members, then the four 10 gen members, then the four new S/mileage members introducing themselves.....

Quietriot · « **Reply #408 on:** February 25, 2012, 03:07:03 PM »

^checking this out now. I comfess I also know nothing about s/mileage.

Also, another bit of nostalgia yesterday when I restumbled upon this:

Since no one really needs a reason to post GAM love.

Slack · « **Reply #409 on:** February 25, 2012, 06:03:00 PM »

Speaking of GAM:

FUKUCHAAAAAAN!
and Saho Akari!

That's why I attempted to revive the GAM thread.

A great duo that deserves to not be forgotten.

This is part 16 of a series that YouTuber artist extraodinaire Berryzeer has posted.

His initial comment on this clip is a quote from the David Bowie song "Starman", that is used in this clip:

Let all the children boogie.

Because I'm vain and I feel that it hasn't gotten much exposure, here's an article I wrote recently for Selective Hearing on Morning Musume:

I guess I just wanted more people to see it, since I'm quite proud of it.

Slack san, well done! You commented on many things that I had noticed, and answered some questions that I had as well. All in a well written, fact based essay.
1) I remember thinking how cool gokkies and 4th generation were, and downer fans were going on and on about how without Miss x or Miss b, etc. the group was sunk, and that these newbies were ruining a once great group.
2) I saw a lot of 30+ guys at a fan event, but as you mentioned in your article, at the event that I attended, I also saw Moms with their young daughters, high school aged girls, young couples with a baby or two, high school and university aged boys (C-ute were a highly popular group that day with that demographic).....a good mix of fans across the board
3) I always supected that MM, in the last few years, was a lot like the Greatful Dead..................record and album sales fine, but live shows are the real story- with all the other Morning Musume Heads in attendance is a traveling circus, where the town follows the circus.

Slack · « **Reply #415 on:** February 26, 2012, 10:24:38 AM »

I've been thinking for a long time about their similarities to the Grateful Dead as well.
It's hard to keep record sales up for decades, but if you have awesome concerts, people will follow you forever.

I also kind of think of Morning Musume as a kind of modern analogue to Takarazuka.
Even though it's not that popular in the mainstream anymore, it's like a cultural institution by now.
As such, it will always have fans and always will have girls who want to be in it.

Nice one, Slack

I read your article around the time it came out. I wanted to re-post it in this thread, but somehow never got around to it.

Oh, and I also wanted to post this:
