And really, we've all been willingly suckered in by Morning Musume hype, H!P hype, Jpop hype, and pop music hype in general since we first started listening to the stuff, so there's no point in getting picky and saying that one particular singer or another is part of a conspiracy to foist some kind of unspeakable sonic assault off on our delicate, opera-trained ears.

@jonCC: - Watchlord? Err.... No, that isn't how it works. If you had read earlier you'd have clearly seen where I put the reaction is up to you, I did not say anyone who disagrees is wrong, that would be watchlord worthy.
@amped: - Err... No, I go where I please, I do what I want, dislike that? Too bad, not gonna change it.

So you are above reproach and discussion then? ...wow, how more condescending can you be?
Alright if you prefer it that way, allow me to respond in kind. Welcome to my ignore list.

The way in which you have expressed yourself is offensive.
This is a community where the majority is HP fans. Riho alone is not the reason for MM's recent hype, but it's the fact that the group itself has become more interesting for a mainstream audience. Also, no I did not challenge your "opinion" on Riho's singing but rather disagreed, that no, I am not someone that has been screwed over by supporting Riho, or for being a fan of MM for that matter.

Let's go back to what you said:

I honestly don't know if I am going to feel offended because you think a lot of fans were suckered by Riho's hype or flattered because you think she managed to make people buy into MM because of her.
You are implying that Up Front is making this for those who were "suckered" by the Riho hype. Did you really think the girl has that clout that the management will make a Best of album because of the hype surrounding her? Did you really think that she became popular because of the hype? She was already popular before the hype. She became a front girl because she was popular and because she's the best front-girl material out of her generation which just carried over when the next two came. And obviously, since shes the center, they had to hype her.
Oh and what makes you think she'll sing all of those songs? Some of the old songs there were already performed by this lineup, and Riho didn't have Matenrou Show-like lines.

Good lord Kikkawame, no wonder you got banned from H!O.

And the MM-BBS
(and Nihongogo come to think of it).I believe the BBS didn't even wait 24 hours before dropping the banhammer on him.

Shit man, even I wasn't banned from mm-bbs when I was a member a few years ago and I was annoying as fuck back then (I'm still annoying but I'm not as bad).
...I don't think I've ever gotten banned from anywhere, actually. Unless I'm forgetting something, which is highly likely.
But anyway. There's nothing wrong with liking Riho, and people who like Riho like her on their own terms. Nobody has been forced to like her at all. People don't work like that.

Six pages in this thread so far, and the only facts are the album title and release date.
Seems to me like everyone is having lots of opinions.
