The H!P Musings/Rants Thread

^Speaking of deep fakes, someone on TikTok did one of the MM girls as men and surprisingly some of them don’t look half bad.

^ The same account also has versions with ANGERME and Juice=Juice members.

I really wished H!P would just get on Spotify....(mostly means really good quality artwork covers!)

They were on Spotify or at least Morning Musume was on Spotify.

^ I think I remember someone saying the one album that was available was just there because it also had a small special European release to coincide with a convention appearance.

I don't use Spotify, so I don't pay much attention either way.

I'd love it if H!P was on Spotify. I don't always have money on iTunes to buy the new singles/albums, so it'd be much more convenient for listening purposes imo.

^^I honestly haven’t been on Spotify in years, I just vaguely remember adding “Are You Happy?” to my Playlist while playing Sims and that’s how I know Morning Musume is on Spotify, chances are when I eventually log back into Spotify the tracks will probably be darkened out

[Nayoko-Kihara]

Oh yeah, the album I was talking about was definitely older than that.

Anything else available was probably there illegally, there was someone doing that a while back.

I don’t have Spotify so I don’t know what the difference between that and Apple Music. I see a lot of people wanting H!P on Spotify and I kind of think of take it as they don’t want to support Apple, which I totally get but is there another reason?

My only problem with Apple Music is they can’t seem to classify H!P artists correctly. They somehow got pumped into Kpop even though they are clearly labeled Jpop. And even on the official idol playlists they don’t appear. They are ghosts on the platform and unless you seek them out the algorithms they use won’t even acknowledge them. It wasn’t till Apple Music fixed their Radio system that I was able to listen to 100% H!P without having to make personal playlists.

I think it's mainly because Spotify has a free option. I've also seen some people mention it being easier to use.
