@Dexter: Wow, thanks for the huge comment! ^_^ Konno is near my top 10, but with her weaker vocals, she couldn’t quite break through (though, I’m sure people would yell at me for saying that, seeing as Rika is my #2. XD).
Well, I don’t think I need to start raving about how much and why I love Aya. XD But she’s been my favourite in H!P almost from the start. I’m soooo excite that she has this fall tour starting up. Another live band concert… I adored her Aya the Witch concert, and I’m sure I’m going to love this one too. I can’t wait to watch her perform Omoi Afurete live. I wish I could go to Japan and watch it. T__T
As for Miya.. Yea, it’s all personal preference, right. Don’t worry, I won’t hold your lack of Miya love against you… So long as you don’t start insulting her around me.. Then there’d be a throw down!! (I’m kidding. XD)

Nice tops. Glad Yossie and Gaki are in it (my top 2) -).

I see what u mean with Rika…she definitely keeps her shine on. U know, Konkon was a lot like her(in a more subtle form)…surprised she wasn’t in ur top 10 as Mako was. I know its off topic a little but u know how we h!p crazies love explaining our love for the members. Konkon takes the dance floor by storm but its hardly noticed because Rika dances as good but she gets way more spotlight. Just want to mention this and have ppl notice haha. and I’m not even really a Konkon fan…tho should I be now? -)

I’m not hugely in love with Ayaya but I do enjoy her vocal talent and she’s very emotive which is entertaining. Not in my top ten but I’d say she’s one of the most talented especially watching her singing soul-ish songs live…one of the best things to watch from Japanese artists especially within Hello Project imo -)

I don’t see too much special about Miyabi other than being pretty and seems to be honest with her personality. But who knows, maybe that will change. i tried watching the Last Forever but it bored me too much -x. haha. well I’m not going to sabotage and hate on ur Miyabi love because I understand that people are just attracted to different things. For me, I just really like Yossie because she’s fun and full of love. she isn’t anywhere close to being a #1 idol but she’s on a different level. her beauty is in her confidence, her ability to lead people (two BIG groups so far), her love to just go out there and be herself. That to me is truly beautiful. But then again, you may be seeing just that in Miyabi. -)

wow, didnt realize i’d be writing so much..i was just gonna write 1-2 sentences LOL.

So true….it’s odd at times hearing a newer member sing a line originally written for their senpai..very very true of Rika as her anime like voice just cannot be reproduced by anyone else in H!P. =) Hmm…I guess my ranking should have been a bit more diverse thinking about it now…I mean, I grew up with Momusu from their first five members in 1998 so I place a lot of shame on myself now for my list! (*sigh*)…..I miss H!M. :/

@MB: Lol… That’s quite the comment you left! XD You know, I enjoy Hello! Project as it is right now, but very few of the members have really endeared themselves to me as the previous generation was able to over the years. I mean, the former Wonderful Hearts have a lot to compete with, for even though the Kids have been around since 2002, they haven’t been given time to shine until recently with shows like Berikyuu and Yorosen (and those shows are nothing compared to the epicness that was Hello! Morning). I’m hoping over time, someone (in addition to the 6 I currently have in my top 6) else can do something to get me to add them to my all-time favourites list.

You know, I was thinking about Rika today, and I thought of another reason why she’s my number 2. In addition to what I said above, she’s the only member from Morning Musume (for me) who had lines that I truly feel are never right when sung by someone other than Rika. For example, “The Peace” monologue, or “Shabondama”… Or the “Renai Revolution 21″ “hoy!!”.

I know these are personal but I’m going to shamelessly say that your ranking is so much better than mine! I’m currently reading all of your reasoning for each member’s spot and I keep nodding….at this rate I’ll be a full grown bobble head doll by the time I get to #1~. XD Mikitty for her vocals and her sweet “mean” streak! No one messes with the kitty when it comes to body suit sumo action on H!M!! ＼(^o^)／☆ Marippe…just the best overall personality that H!P has ever had the joy of being home to. And yes! Makochan’s characters in H!M’s skits……she really did *shine*. =) Maimichan yay we both have her! Beautiful…immaculate beauty~. I always think of those Devil vs. Anger Yossi vs Charmy skits and Yossi always brought the cool to H!P no doubt! ^ ^ Gakisan really has grown over the years into such a beautiful woman…..awww I adored her early handle bar hair days! XD The bakajo test really brought out the pure honesty in Gakisan’s….un “innocence”….she was much younger though than the other members at the time of the test but still that was just so much of a golden moment~. I love her singing “koe” in concert while Aichan dances and sings backup. I fell in love with Aichan when the pv for “Souda We’re Alive” was first released…..I was so mesmerized by her and I remember thinking that Tsunku was really going to highlight her from that point on. She has a wonderfully quirky side to her personality as well….somewhat subtle but it’s definitely there and it’s really evident in her fun and candid conversation with Gakisan near the river eatery on an episode of Hello Pro Hour. ^ ^ …but truly her best assets aside from her vocals and dancing are her professionalism and role model attributes….Aichan = ♥~ Miya…..I really don’t need to speak of Miya as she’s your now top fave member and deservingly so! When I initially got into BK when “Piririto yukou!” was released it was Miya that was my first favorite…gomen ne, Riichan and Momo have taken over since but Miya will always be my first favorite BK member and that can never change. =) Rikachan….definitely one of H!P’s most beautiful and fun personalities…I’ve always loved her cutesy vocals and so true that they’re not the strongest but Tsunku always did utilize them perfectly as you say…..when I used to do yearly favorite H!P song rankings I had to rank the latter version of “Tanpopo” over the original version as the Rikachan factor was too powerful to be denied! Ayaya…..so true as words aren’t necessary to reason her atop your list! H!P’s best vocalist overall……I hope she continues to pursue a solo career and I’m sure she will~. I got into her music a bit late as it wasn’t until “Momoiro kataomoi” was released that I fell bonkers over that cute pv as I would watch it over and over on my old pc with this tiny file….as her first pv DVD collection had not yet been released and the practice of releasing individual pv DVD singles was not yet fashionable in H!P. I think my mom thought I was a bit strange as I would watch it literally over and over in a single seating only leaving to get something to drink occasionally. Your ranking is so much more old school than mine that I’m embarrassed!! XD I so wanted to have Yukosan, Marippe, Ayappe, and even Bunny in there. (*sigh*)………
