In other news, fire is hot and water is wet.

Riho looks tired though, but I like her serene airs

Got the album yesterday.
One thing I always look forward to with these albums is the booklet with the chorus credits.
In the Platinum era the chorus would almost always be sung by Takahashi Ai (& Tsunku, Chino,...).
It's one of the ways she defined the sound of Morning Musume of that time

This time the situation is as follows:

15 songs.
- Sayashi Riho sings chorus on 12 songs.
- Tsunku on 12 songs.
- Michishige Sayumi on 9 songs.
- Fukumura Mizuki on 1 song.
- Sato Masaki on 1 song.
- All of Morning Musume on 1 song.

(I'm not counting Chino, Akira, etc.)

I take particular delight in this as it means that those who are not particularly fond of the shy red one getting lines, are actually hearing her sing, even when they think she's not. It also means she and Sayumi basically have to do twice the work as anyone else.

[Denki]

Just curious, which songs where the ones Mizuki and Masaki had chorus?

Edit: Nevermind. Wikipedia saves me. (Maachan > Manpower; Fukuchan > Ren'ai Hunter)

So unconsciously everybody likes Sayashi singing? Or what are you trying to say?
Because I haven't encounter anybody who hadn't noticed that Sayashi is doing the background vocals...

I don't know: you should ask "everybody".
It is however not what I said.

what are you trying to say?

What I wrote. Nothing more. No subtext, no hidden meaning. Just that. Here it is again. For your convenience.

I wasn't "trying". I just said (or typed if you want to be literal).

Wow really? Are you sure you checked with everyone ? Or if you prefer: "everybody"?

[Zunu]

Riho's a good backup singer. But it's totally unfair her having to work so hard.
So I'd suggest that they lessen her workload on the lead vocals.

[Sarah Palin]

Hey, if they want to give Riho undeserved lines and ruin her vocal chords, that's Tsunku/management's prerogative.
