As we near the 22nd anniversary of Morning Musume’s debut single, “Morning Coffee” (1/28/1998), I went through all of their single covers and ranked my top 20(+1). Only covers for audio editions that were available for purchase to the general public through normal channels are considered, so no Single V’s, and no event, promo or LP editions. Also, forgive the clunky Listly display, but I don’t know of any other WordPress listicle plugins which offer this sort of slideshow presentation. Let me know if there’s something better.
20. Toki wo Koe Sora wo Koe - Limited C
One of the few MM composite covers that works well, unlike the regular A version of this single. The girls look like they're floating, setting the perfect mood for the lead track.
That “Sexy Cat” cover has always reminded me of -something- I could never quite place, but you may have just solved the mystery for me.
This was fun to go through. Some personal favorites in here, and a few I wouldn’t have expected.
Glad you enjoyed it! I will probably do this for all of the long-serving groups.
