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.

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.

Sexy, frustratingly tantalizingMōningu Musume.46rank/position

Morning Musume. “Sexy Impatient” (MV)

Morning Musume’s 2005 single “Iroppoi Jirettai.” Ai Takahashi, whose rich vocals supported the group’s “Platinum Era,” takes center, with main vocals by Ai Takahashi, Reina Tanaka, and Miki Fujimoto.

The whispered intro by Koharu Kusumi and Eri Kamei is especially memorable.

It’s a Latin-flavored kayōkyoku with a flamenco-inspired arrangement.

The clapping further heightens the mood, and the intricate rhythm of the chorus is addictive.

A sexy number packed with yearning and tenderness amid light and shadow.

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?

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.

LOVE Machine (parody song)Mōningu Musume.49rank/position

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.
