Morning Musume – Sotsugyou Ryouko ~Morning Musume Tabidatsu Hito ni Okuru Uta~ [Legendado]

This song was made for Kei Yasuda, who is graduating from Morning Musume, and a parade of familiar faces appears one after another.

Many students take trips to commemorate their graduation, and given the season, hot spring resorts are especially popular.

Things that seem ordinary—like ping-pong tables and hot spring buns—might actually become the fondest memories.

Osaka is delicious!Mōningu Musume.43rank/position

Morning Musume – Osaka Umainen [Legendado]

A song sung by Aika Mitsui, a former 8th-generation member of Morning Musume, together with Junjun and Linlin, who were also 8th-generation exchange students.

As the title suggests, it’s a parade of delicious Osaka foods.

By the way, it seems Junjun likes bananas.

My favorite seniorMōningu Musume.44rank/position

5th generation “Favorite Senior” 2002–2006–2009

A slightly heart-throbbing title: “The Senior I Like.” This song is included on Morning Musume’s fourth album, 4th Ikimasshoi!, released in 2002.

It’s sung by the 5th generation members who joined in 2001: Ai Takahashi, Asami Konno, Makoto Ogawa, and Risa Niigaki.

It’s also a track that follows the tradition of being performed by the group’s newly joined members.

A cute number packed with all the feelings of adolescence.

If there’s one song that defines Morning Musume, it’s “The☆Peace!”—a true signature track.

Even as the lineup changes, it continues to be performed, and it’s still loved by many people today.

Just listening to it makes you feel excited—it’s that kind of song.

It’s uptempo, but it’s also a great, fun dance track that’ll get you moving.

My huge flowerMōningu Musume.46rank/position

ONE PLUS ONE Hana Goto × Ayumi Ishida “My Big Flower”

It may not be a well-known song, but among fans it’s considered a masterpiece.

It’s built around main vocals and rap, and instead of pushing others down or shaming them, it carries a positive message: I’ll polish myself as much as I can, bloom into a big flower, and laugh with joy.

Because it’s a free countryMōningu Musume.47rank/position

Morning Musume ’18 “Because It’s a Free Country” (Promotion Edit)

Morning Musume can’t be defined by the word “idol” alone—their dancing and expressive power always amaze me.

This song, Because It’s a Free Country, was released in 2018 as their 66th single under the name Morning Musume ’18.

It’s a cool, danceable track with many lyrics I can really relate to.

I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to become stronger and think positively.

It’s a song that gives you the strength to move forward, with a toughness that says you won’t fret over what’s already done.

Odore! Morning Curry (Morning Musume Concert Tour 2007)

It was included as the B-side of the 31st single “Aruiteru,” released in 2006.

At one point, “morning curry” became a hot topic because Ichiro, who recorded 3,000 career hits in Major League Baseball, reportedly ate curry every morning—how about you all give it a try, too?

Snow/Love × You ≧ LikeTakahashi Ai (Mōningu Musume.)49rank/position

Hello! Project × Winter Song “Snow / Love × You ≧ Like”

A love song that sings about the happiness of spending a snowy night with someone you love—perfect for the Christmas season.

Performed by Ai Takahashi, who is active as a talent and YouTuber, during her time in the idol group Morning Musume, it was released in 2006.

Takahashi’s cute vocals match beautifully with the mellow, gentle sound.

It’s a tender piece that brings a sense of calm to the heart.

Also recommended for karaoke dates—you might even reaffirm your feelings for each other.

Production Girl Squad – LOVE Machine [Morning Musume “LOVE Machine” Parody Song] (2018/12/1)

This video is a commercial for “toto BIG” that aired in 2011.

The comedy trio Morisanchu appears in the ad, performing a song and dance.

As the CM song, they used a parody of Morning Musume’s smash hit “LOVE Machine.” With lyrics that playfully swap “Yay” for “Yen,” among other gags, the catchy song and dance likely left a lasting impression on many viewers.
