Fans’ Top H!p Songs Poll: Results Part 2
I’m home from work today with a cold and laryngitis. How lucky! Well, not so much for me, but for anyone waiting on the poll results. I’ve literally done nothing but sleep and work on this for the past two days.
I’m going to cut right to the video this time. Presenting, the top 20 h!p songs as voted by you, the fans! Don’t scroll down past the video yet if you don’t want spoilers!
And if anyone is upset by how Momusu-dominated this is, let me just say that I didn’t write the votes, I just collected them, and this is how it turned out. For all I hear people say they are sick of hearing “Love Machine”, just look where it ended up (and a good 9 votes ahead of #2).
The biggest surprise for me has to be Dakishimetex2 placing so highly. I mean, I think it’s a good song, but I had no idea it would come out as the most popular Berryz song, and by a long shot too! Biggest disappointment is “Ai Araba It’s All right” not making the top 40. I’m most happy that “Sukisugite Bakamitai” placed so well, because I didn’t expect it to. What’s the most surprising/disappointing/exciting for you?
So to recap the videos, your overall Top 40 looks like this. Color coding= Morning Musume, Berryz Kobo, C-ute, Buono, S/Mileage, Other (anything that doesn’t fit one of these other categories), Matsuura Aya, Shuffles, Ex-Momusu Soloists, New Shuffles, Mano Erina, Kirari, Melon Kinenbi, “Moni’s/Tanpopo”, W, Country Musume

So listen, this took A LOT of time, and if I get any complaints like “I can’t read the color-coding” or “Okay, but can you now list them all by group, and then in alphabetical order, and then by country, and then by gender, and then by year?” I might scream, and that wouldn’t be good for my throat.
Cheers! I think it will be a long long time before I attempt a project this big again.

Good job!
Hm… the highest rank any of my 10 picks got was #73, and 7 of my picks are in the one-vote rank. >_< And what’s with the relative lack of love for K☆R stuff? T_T
I guess my interests are very atypical … :p
Positive surprise: yay, one vote for SHINES! <3
Disappointment: eww… Love Machine and the almost total lack of non-Musume releases in the top 20.
Hmmm, Yasuda’s Ihoujin seems to have dropped out of the results. I expected it to end up in the catch-all bin with most of my votes (except for #11 and one of the ones tied for #126), but it’s not there at all.
(and I promise not to pick on you for any of the typos; after all the work you put in overcoming everyone’s variant spellings, crunching the numbers, and making videos, they’re beyond trivial)
Biggest surprise to me is Sakura Mankai beating I Wish. Second biggest would be Mr. Moonlight beating out so many newer songs. I guess everyone loves Nacchi, Yossie, and Maki in drag.
Oh, and remember, “the reward for good work is more work”…

A little surprise that “Love Machine” made it to number. Though only 1 of my song made it to top 10, when I look at the top 10 list those are the songs I’m less likely to skip on my iTouch. While the songs that I did vote for are more likely to be skip because it doesn’t fit the current mood.
And I’m surprise that there’s a mix between old and recent releases on this list. Kind of wish Tsunku can see this list and see how the old Morning Musume release are fan favourites.
I actuall like Love Machine, it seems to end up on my iPod some how and hardly ever gets skiped.
5 of my songs ended up in the top 40…YAY!!
I’m wondering if Otakebi Boy was released while this poll was still on, if that wold have ended up in the top ten?!?!?!
Thank you so much for doing this and for taking the time to sort out the votes. Your a star and i hope you get better soon.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that my favorites were towards the bottom, and no one else voted for songs like “Oh! Be My Friend”. At the very least, I’m happy that some of my least favorite H!P songs are in the one vote catagory with it.
correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t see Our Songs in the list
^It’s there. In the 126 category
Thank you for compiling this project! It takes a lot of work, and I really appreciate it!
I’m sorry I couldn’t be part of the poll, but I think that the results are quite interesting! I honestly didn’t expect Nanchatte to be so high! XD It is a great song and very popular, but for some reason, I thought that SYO would beat it.
Also, the Dakishimete Dakishimete song being the top Berryz single was quite a surprise for me XD I guess I’m not a fan of the mainstream sound then…
And also, I want to give you a personal thank you because somehow this video snippets really reminded me of my times when I first got into H!P and they made me remember many happy moments that I connect to these songs. So, yeah, thanks! (also, sorry for the randomness XD I just had to thank you though…)
Great job doing this. Must have taken forever. I don’t know how anyone could be upset there were so many Morning Musume songs in the top 20. Speaking for those of us that have been into HP for 10 years or more. Momusu is and always will be the nearest and dearest to our hearts. My only real disappointment was Moshoku Toumeina Mama de placing so low. Thanks again for doing this.
Missed out on the voting, but it’s a pretty good selection. (No Renai Rider or Manpower tho. And no Minimoni or Pucchimoni. Huh.) Most surprised by Sexy Boy@3.
I appriciate all the work you did to put this together it’s really cool to see how a group oppinion compared to your own.
I’m happy that my all time favorite Sakura Mankai not only made the list but made the top ten, here i thought i was the only person who loved that song.
I guess the biggest suprise is the lack of sub groups that make the top 40 I thought for sure Tanpopo or Pettie Moni would slip a couple in there, Yet Aa! made the list top 40 with 2 different line ups
I also thought there would be more Buono I can’t believe Kiss Kiss Kiss or Honto no Jibun didn’t make the top 40, but Rotara Rotarra did make the top 10 so that makes up for it.
I’m disappointed in the lack of support for C-ute since their my second favorite group, but i guess i am the only person who likes there recent stuff after all.
As for the top ten even though i only voted for one or two of them, most of them are songs i absolutely so love i’m happy others love them aswell.
Awesome results! Thanks for the hard work!
I’m surprised that a couple of super popular H!P songs are missing. No Minimoni, Pucchimoni, Goto Maki or W in the top40. I would’ve figured we’d have seen Robokiss or Miss Love Tantei very high close to the top.
I love that Def.Diva is represented. I love them~ I would’ve thought we would’ve seen Baby! Koi ni Knockout, Ai Araba It’s Alright, Koe, Koisuru Angel Hearts somewhere in these videos.
I wish Tanpopo was somewhere on there, too.
This is really really cool and thank you for putting this together and share the results with us. Nanchatte Renai really seems pretty high surprisingly. Glad to see Rottara Rottara crack top 10!
By the way, I am wondering whether you are willing to share this data? I’d really love to have access to produce some other analysis which I think will be pretty cool. Most are probably like the ones you list above (rank by year, groups, country, gender, top song for each year, top singles, top album songs etc. etc.)
It would be really great if you could do let me know about this:)
Again, thank you so much, Celestia! This was a MASSIVE undertaking and such a gift for all of us fans!
I have to say, surprising results. “Love Machine” #1??? I was predicting “I Wish”. I thought as fans we wouldn’t have gone with the most popular song as a #1.
Love “Sakura Mankai”‘s high rating. (I voted for it!) “Very Beauty” and S/mileage.
I am sad at “Ai Araba’s” low ranking, Tanpopo’s, and C-ute. I love C-ute as well and like the recent stuff alot. Also surprisng were lack of Kirari! Where’s the Koha love, people? Aya Matsuura, too…ah well, very interesting.
I like Blue Sweaters idea of breaking it down even more. I understand that Celestia is probably WAY done with all this, but maybe if she could get the info to him/her they could do the work!
Oh and if the pole were just a week or so later, “Tomodachi wa Tomadachi Nanda” would have been on my list! I know everyone is geeking out about “Otekebi Boy”, but I cannnot stop playing “TwTN”!
It’s interesting to hear people complain all the time that they hate LOVE Machine and wish it wasn’t performed anymore, but it’s the number one song on this poll. ._.
