Nakajima Takui Fan Attends Morning Musume。’26 Solo Concert — 5ch Reacts: ‘Oda Sakura Was Overwhelming’

From our other sites

The story

A poster claiming to be a fan of Nakajima Takui shared their impressions of attending a Morning Musume。’26 solo concert on 5ch’s “Hello!Project” board. Alongside praise like “Oda Sakura was overwhelming” and “Inoue Haruno’s stability,” they also talked about how active the 18th-generation members were and their expectations for Sugihara. This sparked a mixed reaction in the thread over how the group’s songs are increasingly coming from outside songwriters like Nakajima Takui and Yamazaki Aoi, rather than centering on Tsunku♂. Some welcomed the outside writers’ songs, while others pointed out similarities to existing tracks, and the discussion spiraled into a broader debate about the group’s songwriting lineup.

Impressions from a Nakajima Takui fan who went to a Morning Musume solo concert
・Oda Sakura was overwhelming

Wait, it's not Takui himself, just a fan?
Don't start a thread over one fan's opinion.

Not happening as long as Tsunku's still alive and watching (lit. 'while his eyes are still black').

Re: #7
It's the agency picking the non-Tsunku songs, so that's beside the point.
17AnonymousSep 7, 2026 10:29
Takui, huh… well, he's still better than Tsunku♂ or Hoshibe Sho.
Weaning Morning Musume。 off Tsunku and BEYOOOOONDS off Hoshibe Sho are both urgent tasks.
Morning Musume。 is cursed by Tsunku, and BEYOOOOONDS is cursed by Hoshibe Sho.
Meanwhile Juice=Juice blew up thanks to goddess composer Yamazaki Aoi (33, female singer-songwriter).

Re: #17
This garbage agency isn't about to cut anyone loose from Hello!Project, so just keep them locked into Musume。 and Byo.
Se·ri·ous·ly.

That's because Oyaki (a regular poster's nickname) is an Inoue Haruno fan.

Re: #19
Same as 'Chuden' (an inside reference/nickname).
20AnonymousSep 7, 2026 10:31
With Nemo, Kari, and Tsubaki all getting promoted, Takui's going to be busy writing songs — no time for that.
23AnonymousSep 7, 2026 10:33
Just because it's a Takui song doesn't automatically make it good.
24AnonymousSep 7, 2026 10:34
Makes sense a Takui fan would take a liking to Haru-san (Inoue Haruno).

Yamazaki Aoi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nakajima Takui >>
>> SHOCK EYE (Shonan no Kaze) > the Swedish duo >>
>>> KOUGA, Sumigama, Fukusaki, Omori Seiko >>> Tsunku, Hoshibe Sho

Re: #27
What about Hirose Kohmi?
29AnonymousSep 7, 2026 10:37
Among Hello!Project's current songwriters, Yamazaki Aoi (33, female singer-songwriter) is easily the best.
She's the one who actually composed 'Moremia Amore' herself. You're number one.

What the Inoue fanatics have already done in this thread:
trash-talked Homamei, trash-talked Sakurai, trash-talked Yumigeta.
34AnonymousSep 7, 2026 10:41
Doesn't seem like it'd suit the formation dance, so probably a no-go.
35AnonymousSep 7, 2026 10:41
Do Nakajima Takui fanatics even exist?
36AnonymousSep 7, 2026 10:41
When I heard 'Piano Utte Chōdai' (Please Sell the Piano), it brought back nightmares of country music.
37AnonymousSep 7, 2026 10:42
【Addendum】

・The 18th-gen members actually got a lot of stage time
Impressive👍 considering it's the tour right after they joined

・Homare's talk skills are on another level, really drew me in

・Feels like there's still untapped talent waiting to bloom

・Oda Sakura is still the best, of course

Don't need Takui.
It's about time Hyadain wrote a song for Musume。.
40AnonymousSep 7, 2026 10:44
The best-timed commission of all was 'Ketsuron kara Itte Chōdai' (lol)
45AnonymousSep 7, 2026 10:47
You'd be better off buying Takui's kaki no tane (rice crackers) than a Morning Musume。 ticket.

Haru-san's dancing is like a sport — totally addictive.

Background and Key Points of This Discussion

For years, Tsunku♂ was the central figure behind Morning Musume。’s songs, but since he stepped back from the public eye for health reasons, the group has increasingly turned to outside composers. This thread, too, centered on evaluating that roster of writers — Hoshibe Sho, who handles songs for sister group BEYOOOOONDS, and Yamazaki Aoi and Nakajima Takui, whose names come up in connection with groups like Juice=Juice. Opinions split over whether the outside writers’ songs are working out well: some voiced hope, while others pointed to similarities with existing tracks. It’s worth noting that such claims of similarity or plagiarism are just the personal impressions of anonymous posters and have not been confirmed as fact. In compiling this article, comments that amounted to direct personal attacks on individual members’ singing ability or character were also excluded. Readers should keep in mind that this isn’t an official announcement, but a discussion that grew out of one fan’s impressions after attending a concert.

※This article is excerpted and summarized from the 5ch (Hello!Project) thread “A Nakajima Takui fanatic’s impressions after attending the Morning Musume。’26 concert: ‘Oda was overwhelming, Inoue’s stability, Sugihara is so promising — time for a Takui song for Morning Musume’“.
