In my opinion the music and members is/are still really good but they definitely do not release material often enough to have any sort of hype anymore outside of the (medium sized) Japanese H!P fan community. All the groups focus so hard on touring now but it would benefit them and gain them more of a following , and as a result more money if they released music more often and made it more easily available and accessible globally. I guess UFP is very comfortable just barely making ends meet with the way they have it while slowly killing their groups though 🤷♀️.

Imo they're so focused on catering to (read milking) existing fans that they don't care about attracting new fans. The other part of it is that I feel like UF just doesn't want their groups to get too big to the point that they become too hard to manage.

yeah same. my friend basically is open minded about everything i listen and i would talk abt momusu all day abd she was really interested about them but since she's a spotify user and basically h!p dont have eng sub content (its very rare) she won't get into them :/. thats just an example like we live in a small city of a small state of Brazil. imagine how many potential american/canadian/australian idk fans that they are losing!!!

Exactly!!! Fans like to argue against it because its JPOP and point out that artists make no money off Spotify. That may be true technically, but it's perhaps the most useful promotion and marketing tool since majority of people in all those countries you just mentioned use Spotify! And yes the content not being subbed or easily available on YouTube is not a good look either! Borders are being blurred in music/entertainment now it's 2024 it's time we make everything at least a bit more globally accessible.

yes even the 48groups that were region blocked are now avaible and i noticed they really gained a lot of western stans since 2019 so hp groups would only benefit from it. On top of that they removed the eng subs of their pvs like why? that was an amazing stand out element about them and it made them unique

yeah I remember thinking when 48g showed up on Spt i was like okay H!P is next and yeah it's been like a few years now 😭. But then I remember the didn't even release blurays with their singles until the big year of 2021....so that makes me less hopeful LMAO. But you never know I guess. AND YEAH rip to the hardsubs era...very sad.

The new album sounds like Tsunku and the rest of the producers are stuck in the music time of 2010-2015. All the songs kinda sound the same and for me this is not the J-Pop Sound of 2021. I've discovered so many new Artists, who are the same age as the girls, besides these girls making the music themselves and you can clearly hear the difference in what the new generation is making with music than what the older generation is doing. I don't say, that the new album is bad per se. No, it is ok for me. But it doesn't go with the time. The Album Title should have been That's Morning Musume. It would fit better for me.
