Okay tier:
- Nanchuu Koi wo Yatteruu YOU KNOW?
- Jiriri Kiteru
- Watashi no Mirai no Danna-sama
- Ai no Dangan
- Dakishimete Dakishimete
- Asian Celebration
- WANT!

Some small changes. "Meh tier" disappeared and WANT! now entered the realm of "okay", pretty much where Asian Celebration debuted. Asian Celebration can climb with time, but I don't see WANT! getting much higher. But it's okay, because it's now on par with stuff like Dakishimete Dakishimete, which I like enough and won't skip, but it's not really favorite song material for me. Also, Be Genki is REALLY close to Maji Bomber now and with time it could become my favorite Berryz single ever. Need to listen to both songs extensively

Morning Musume Ranking:

1: <3Eripon<3 My first real Oshi. I love love love her.

2. Haruka, Always had mad love for this girl back in her egg days, if eripon wasn't my number 1 my room would be very orange
3. Haruna, Pretty funny and adorable, But during auditions I was very skeptical. She has grown on me a lot
4. Riho shes adorable and I like her voice I think its unique
5. Mizuki She is eripons bff but her personality never got to me ><
6. Sayumi, Pretty and sweet and all that, Her only flaw imho is her speaking voice......its so quiet and mumbly
7. Reina, I never thought she would make it this far in my ranking, But I am going to miss her vocal contributions to MM
8. Masaki, Girl annoys the hell outta me and i wish theyd stop pairing her with eripon
9. Ayumi I am so "meh" with her, I don't find her drop dead gorgeous anymore like I did during auditions.
10. Zukki. Never really liked her to begin with....

[AyuHikaru]

Updated-ish ranking:

1. Haruna Iikubo - My flawless kami-oshi. She is beautiful and dorky and funny and always tries her hardest. She isn't afraid to talk and she isn't afraid of showing her flaws. I never thought, ever in a million years, I would have an oshi after Junjun left but Haruna filled that void and then some. Though she's not quite Junjun level (Who I don't consider my kami-oshi because she isn't an idol anymore) she is awfully close and may hit that level in a year or so.

2. Ayumi Ishida - Ayumi has been getting quite beautiful lately, but honestly I would like to see her personality more. On TV shows she's so quiet. TALK DOOFUS. I love her though, she has a lot of talent when it comes to dancing. Me and Roy always joke she looked like Kasumi Goto from Mass Effect (It's dem lips, but really Kasumi is what Ayumi is going to look like at like 20-something)

3. Sakura Oda - Sakura reminds me a lot of Taka, somewhat shy with a lot of talent. I really took to her during the audition and she has the potential to have a talkative nature (She's pretty funny). I'm going to watch her closely this next year and see if she goes up in my ranking.

4. Masaki Sato - Masaki reminds me so much of my roommate (Ironically, Masaki is her Oshi). Loud and talkative and loud and giggly... did I mention loud? I met Vanessa when she was 15, Masaki is almost 14 and Vanessa was JUST LIKE HER at that age. Masaki is just unafraid of life, she goes right in and doesn't care about preconceptions. She treats everyone as her friend even when she doesn't know them that well. I feel like Masaki is going to be the glue that holds the whole thing together as time goes on. Plus, she's so talented. She can sing, she dances well, she's pretty in a classic sort of way, and she has a great personality. It's hard to not like Masaki.

5. Haruka Kudo - I hated the fact Haruka was only 11 when she got in, but that little ikemen wormed her way into my heart pretty fast. She talkative and snarky, and really has a quick wit that I think is only going to get better as she gets older. She has my favorite voice in Morning Musume as well. She's so so so pretty, too. I think a lot of people forget how pretty she is because of the whole ikemen thing but she is a really stunning little girl. In a few years, she is gonna blow up.

6. Mizuki Fukumura - I'm not sure how she got so high, considering last year at this time she was last. I think it was because Roy started getting interested in her (Because of the whole "Rich girl" thing which he thinks is HILARIOUS) and I started paying attention to her more and started to like what I was seeing. The thing about Mizuki that I dislike is that I had to dig into things to get to her personality so I would like to see her showcase it more. But she's pretty and doesn't sing badly, and has a body I am TERRIBLY jealous of.

7. Kanon Suzuki - Kanon used to be third, and she continues going down on the list as her image changes to one I generally don't get into (Like Aika's). I really miss funny as hell, crazy ass Zukki. She stays relatively high because I like her voice and she still can be hilarious. We'll see how her personality develops over time.

8. Sayumi Michishige - I used to hate Sayu. Like HATE her. I've never actively hated an idol before than got over it and started liking them. At most I become neutral. I said I didn't want Sayu to be leader, I said she wasn't sexy, and I said she was overly annoying and I hated her "ICHIBAN KAWAII" act. But Sayu really grew on me. She's a strong, supportive leader, a smart and witty person, and a stable member of Momusu. Sure, she can't sing (Though she is very stable lately), but Morning Musume would have been less without her in it. I see that now.

9. Riho Sayashi - Whenever I do these rankings, I'm always afraid of putting Riho this low because a lot of people assume I'm a Riho-Hater, which I'm not. She sings fine, she dances great, she's pretty enough, and - when she let's it out - the clumsy dorky part of her personality is endearing. I just can't put her higher on the list with good conscious, I like the other girls more.

10. Reina Tanaka - me and Reina have always had a confusing relationship, mostly there's nothing wrong with her but I could never get into her. I have no idea why, just how it is I guess.

11. Erina Ikuta - Someone has to be at the bottom, and so Eripon is.

[Panic Nancy]

1. Tanaka Reina:

2. Oda Sakura: She's amazing. She sings everything exactly the way I want her to sing it. It's crazy.
3. Fukumura Mizuki: Just really solid.
4. Kudou Haruka: She could be higher, but since she's pushed in all the wrong ways (ew photobook), she's lower than she would be otherwise.
5. Sayashi Riho: All those photoshoots have really been getting to me. She's so freaking pretty. Mostly, her singing is insanely annoying, but I actually quite like her voice when she is singing properly. It hardly ever happens, but when it does, it's great (that first perf of Baby Koi ni Knockout was amazing).

6. Michishige Sayumi: If she could sing, she would be number one because she's ridiculously strong in every other area. It's amazing that she's this high because listening to her sing is like having acid poured into my ears.
7. Iikubo Haruna: Beautiful, adorable, and funny, maybe the funniest after Sayumi. She's not the type I can really get into (weak singer/performer, strong personality), but I think she's fulfulling her role very well.
8. Ishida Ayumi: Her voice haunts my dreams, but she's gorgeous, an amazing dancer, and a wonderfully energetic performer. And she openly acknowledges that she can't sing well, so that really helps, too.
9. Satou Masaki: She's just ... average in every single area. Average singing, average dancing, average looking. It's good that she has no major weaknesses, but it's difficult to get excited about her.
10. Suzuki Kanon: Voice has a lot of potential (and is already much improved), and if she gets to where I hope she can, she'll be much higher. But for now, she's here.
11. Ikuta Erina: I used to love her, but she hasn't really done anything super hilarious lately. I still like her a lot, though.
