Which group or soloist do you like best in Hello!Project??

I hate to admit it, but I kinda find Minimoni annoyingly enjoyable. Actually, they are great for kids and surprisingly teaches kids JPN culture, geography, and a slew of JPN subjects.
_________________

well...to choose... for group i would momusu...and pucchi moni..the new pucchi moni..but their last song was wowx3..and it is nearly 1 year that they haven't made a new song for pucchi..for soloist? it should be gocchin~!

The whole Hello Project confuses the hell out of me. I know about Morning Musume and Mini Moni. Those bands are decent enough. I prefer the older Musume to the newer stuff, it's just weak now.
Anyway for a novice like myself when it comes to hello project bands, can you please re-edit your opening post, Gomaki and list all of the hello project groups if you don't mind.
Thanks

you're refering to the group name??oxymoron?because it's actually just parts of the members name's put together in one word

Inaba,a looong tima ago,but i'm not sure at all,didn't she used to be a part of some group calle TC&Bomber (or something like that)

Oxymoron as in they're soloists but are in a group.

Yeah I heard about T&C Bomber but never heard any of their songs yet and I'm assuming that group is no more.

_________________

All so cute! I really like those pictures in the kimonos.
So far I only caught bit and pieces of them on MS and the Utaban episodes I downloaded... and I must agree I'm rather confused with all the changing of the line-ups. If you ask me... I would say Ayaya and Nacchi (is that what people called Abe Natsumi?) are kawaii... pretty too!

Yeah it took me about a month to figure out the groups, sub groups and ever changing groups then another month to figure out the past groups and generations and learn their names

But now that I have got a grip on its quite fun to see what new stuff Tsunku comes up with. At the least the changes never make H!P from going stale.

Goto Maki

Matsuura Aya

yeah!!mikitty and ayaya piccies
TC&Bomber,indeed is no more,but you're right ruroshin..Inaba is still doing stuff,someone said she was in 11 water this year
I'm adding two more groups (2 shuffles)
-3nin matsuri (ishikawa,kago & matsuura)
-SALT5(matsuura,kago,abe natsumi,maeda yuki,ogawa)

PS,if you want to see funny momusu stuff,try and find some ayaka surpise english lessons especially the ones with tsuji
