Question: What's a Hello! Project song you think is a hidden gem?

Tsubaki Factory

Yamagishi Riko
Morning Musume's "Wolf Boy"
℃-ute's "Wasuretakunai Natsu"
I listened to them a ton when they first came out! They're songs I love!

Niinuma Kisora
It'd be "Itsumo to Onnaji Seifuku de"~! It's my favorite song!

Tanimoto Ami
"Saijoukyuu Story"
Though we haven't performed it yet, the lyrics are very pretty, and I like the melody too.

Kishimoto Yumeno
beautiful day / Matsuura Aya
Soulmate / Matsuura Aya
Chotto Samishii na / Berryz Koubou
Masshiroi Ano Kumo / Berryz Koubou
I could go on to infinity!

Asakura Kiki
Buckets no Mizu / Buono!

Ono Mizuho
It's "Saijoukyuu Story"!
When I first heard the temporary song, it overlapped with myself and tugged at my heartstrings, while additionally giving me power at the same time.
Though over half a year has passed since it was released, we still haven't performed it. I don't want it to be hidden! I think it isn't hidden in my heart. Since it's a song I love, I want to sing it soon ♡

Onoda Saori
"Yuki no Planetarium"

Akiyama Mao
Angerme's "Mou Ippo"

Kasai Yuumi
Eh~~~!
I wonder、、
Never gonna stop!

Yagi Shiori
It's "Ishiki Takai Otome no Dilemma".

Fukuda Marine
"Seishun Manmannaka!"

Yofuu Runo
It's "Kanousei no Concerto".

[Nayoko-Kihara]

Question: What's a Hello! Project song you think is a hidden gem?

BEYOOOOONDS

Ichioka Reina
"Kinoko Takenoko Daisenki"
It's a song I love!

Shimakura Rika
Country Girls' "Ran ra run ~Anata ni Muchuu~"
The lyrics are very cute.

Nishida Shiori
The one that comes to mind now is Morning Musume-san's "A B C D E-cha E-cha Shitai"!

Eguchi Saya
It's Melon Kinenbi-san's "Kousui"!

Takase Kurumi
Though it's our own song, I want you to see "Yabai Koi no Yaiba" at a live!

Maeda Kokoro
We haven't had many chances until now to perform "Kinoko Takenoko Daisenki" from BEYOOOOONDS' 1st album yet, so we've only done it a bit, but it's a song that I'd like to show you a lot more!

Yamazaki Yuhane
"ENDLESS LOVE ~I Love You More~"
(℃-ute-san)

Okamura Minami
Guardians 4-san's "Itsuka Dokoka de."
Though it's embarrassing, it's a song I didn't know for years after I joined Hello! Project either...
One day when I was listening to a song I thought was incredibly cute, I was so surprised that it was a Hello! song, and so it became one I love!!!
I've liked it since I first heard it!
I was able to sing it at my birthday event, and heard many people say "I didn't know that song~", so it made me think it was a hidden gem!

Kiyono Momohime
Country Musume & Ishikawa Rika (Morning Musume) "BYE BYE Saigo no Yoru"
I think it's a song that makes you really curious about Tsunku-san's train of thought. In the melody line you can't guess what's to come next, and so it makes it exciting to listen to, though the lyrics also have a loneliness to them、、 You can have a new experience each time you listen to it.
I'd like to try singing it.

Hirai Miyo
Kobushi Factory-san's "Keseyashinai Kimochi"

Kobayashi Honoka
Though it's not hidden...
I think BEYOOOOONDS' "Koi no O-swing" is a great song!
It's an album song, but I want lots more people to listen to it~.

Satoyoshi Utano
There are too many………
Of those I often listen to recently, it'd be Matsuura Aya-san's "Shinju"!
It's a great song I want to listen to at night! I also recommend it when you're riding in a car!
