Bikkuri Project

So, I have a bit of a thing for compiling statistics, and I found myself wondering which Morning Musume songs have actually been performed by them the most. I mean, people are always complaining that they perform the same songs too much, so I wanted to see how true that was. Surprisingly, the number one song isn’t the one you’d expect.

Songs I counted: Any Morning Musume song performed at a Morning Musume or Hello! Project concert by current (at the time of performance) members of Morning Musume. I also counted Sakura and Otome gumi songs, as well as morning musume songs performed at all h!p concerts by Momusu and the rest of h!p. Smaller group songs with some MM members and some non-members count if 1/2 or more of the performers are current MM members (at the time of performance)

Songs I didn’t count: Songs of other groups performed by morning musume, other h!p groups performing morning musume songs, songs performed at fan club events, mini lives at musical encores, morning musume sub groups or shuffle groups (except for otome and sakura gumi)

So… the top 22 Morning Musume songs performed most often in concert are…

1. Renai Revolution 21

2. Love Machine

3. The Peace

4. Koko ni iruzee/ Souda We’re Alive

43. Ai no Sono Touch My Heart/ Hyokkori Hyountanjima/ Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game/ Sakura Mankai/ Seishun Collection

48. Majidesuka Ska/ Pepper Keibu

Weird that Pepper Keibu has only been performed once. Also, I strongly feel that Kanashimi Twilight should have been performed way more than it has been. Finally, notice how high Mikan and Resonant Blue are, despite being relatively young songs.

Well, that was pointless yet somehow satisfying,
