Preliminary Round 1 Complete - Addressing the Full H!P Survey

First of all, the Berryz Koubou Survey results won't be posted until the Full Current H!P Survey is ready to post. So, if you still haven't voted on that, vote here.

Moving on, concerning the full (current) H!P survey: almost all of the questions had ties for the last "x" members for the top 10, so I've created a tie-breaker (/Round 2) for the preliminary version of the survey. First I'll go ahead and post who has definitely made top 10, and who needs a tiebreaker, then I'll respond to a few comments that people left me, then I'll post the tie-breaker survey link afterwards. (So if the only reason your here is to vote, scroll down.)


"Who's voice do you like the best?"
The top 9 were decided to be (in order of group): Fukumura Mizuki, Oda Sakura, Tsugunaga Momoko, Natsuyaki Miyabi, Sugaya Risako, Suzuki Airi, Okai Chisato, Tamura Meimi, and Kanazawa Tomoko.

The tenth spot tie-breaker is for the 6-way tie of Suzuki Kanon, Sato Masaki, Shimizu Saki, Yajima Maimi, Fukuda Kanon, and Takagi Sayuki.


"Who's dancing do you like the best?"
The top 8 were decided to be (in order of group): Sayashi Riho, Ishida Ayumi, Shimizu Saki, Yajima Maimi, Nakajima Saki, Suzuki Airi, Okai Chisato, and Tamura Meimi.

These 8 were the only girls nominated so there will not be a tie-breaker.


"Who's personality do you like the best?"
The top 10 were decided to be (in order of group): Michishige Sayumi, Fukumura Mizuki, Ikuta erina, Suzuki Kanon, Sato Masaki, Kudo Haruka, Tsugunaga Momoko, Tokunaga Chinami, Yajima Maimi, and Tamura Meimi. 

There was a top 10, so there is no tie-breaker.


"Who do you think shines most in PVs?"
The top 7 were decided to be (in order of group): Michishige Sayumi, Fukumura Mizuki, Sayashi Riho, Shimizu Saki, Natsuyaki Miyabi, Suzuki Airi, and Tamura Meimi

The last 3 spots tie-breaker is for the 6-way tie of Kumai Yurina, Sugaya Risako, Nakajima Saki, Hagiwara Mai, Kanazawa Tomoko, and Miyamoto Karin.

The top 7 were decided to be (in order of group): Michishige Sayumi, Fukumura Mizuki, Shimizu Saki, Natsuyaki Miyabi, Yajima Maimi, Wada Ayaka, and Fukuda Kanon.

The last 3 spots tie-breaker is for the 8-way tie of Suzuki Kanon, Iikubo Haruna, Kudo Haruka, Tokunaga Chinami, Nakajima Saki, Kanazawa Tomoko, Takagi Sayuki, and Miyamoto Karin.

Comments I would like to respond to.

"A bit too broad questions, don't you think? Narrow it down or something. And don't steal everything from Pocket morning."

I'm not exactly the best question maker. That's why I ask at the end if the people taking the survey have any other ideas for questions. I'm not quite sure how to narrow it down anymore. I could easily ask "which girl do you like the most," which I initially considered, but that was too broad and I could narrow it down to voice, dancing, and personality. I don't know about any other questions that could be narrowed down any more than they are. And as for the "stealing everything from Pocket Morning," the only questions I personally recognize that I "stole" were the energetic/mellow questions (as someone else noticed in their comment "the energetic/mellow question brings to mind the Pokemo Q&As"), and it's because I thought it was an interesting question and I wanted to know what the fans thought in opposed to the H!P members, I really don't see the problem with that. 


"I really don't think any HP member is "badass". Maybe a question about who's the best actress, given all the plays they've done."

Firstly, THANK YOU for that amazing question, I've added it to the Round 2 survey, although I'm trying to stay away from the phrase "the best," as it would give off implications that there is a "best" rather than a "most popular" which is what I'm getting at with these surveys. So I hope you don't mind me changing the question to "Who's acting do you like the best?" :)

In response to the other part of your comment, I don't blame you if you don't think any H!P member is "badass," but some people do. For this reason I've grouped "cool" and "badass" together so that the nominated members could apply to either of the categories (or both possibly). I apologize if the wording of the question may have seemed loaded.


"Going through all the Hello members was a bit tiring - maybe do it for each group individually, then compile all those into a 'best of' might be easier?"

I personally hate this type of process. Shows like American Idol and such do a similar thing when they separate the contestants by gender before kicking people out. What bugs me about doing it this way is that, lets say, just metaphorically, that the "Who's dancing do you like the best?" top results for each group separately were as follows:
MoMusu - Sayashi Riho
Berryz - Shimizu Saki
C-ute - Nakajima Saki
S/mileage - Tamura Meimi
Juice=Juice - Takagi Sayuki

Then the "best of dancers" would likely be these five girls. However, suppose if in the H!P full survey, we get that the top five were Sayashi Riho, Ishida Ayumi, Oda Sakura, Shimizu Saki, and Natsuyaki Miyabi or something. Doing a "best of" for separate groups doesn't take into consideration that multiple people from each group may be considered for the question. Also, many people seem to have forgotten that Mitsui Aika is still in H!P as well, even though she's not in a group. Doing the groups separately and putting them together in a "best of" would then neglect her altogether. So I apologize for tiring you out, but I personally prefer this method.


"Questions about songs for the year (or some other measurement of time) could be interesting"
"Favorite songs/pvs/etc instead of members could be more interesting."

In the future I would like to do some song/PV related surveys, but I need to figure out how to ask questions to where they wouldn't be absolutely impossible to answer. Someone even commented on my Berryz Koubou survey that I should try asking favorite a-side/b-side/album songs separately, so even just for one group it's difficult. Also there's the problem with the fact that, even if I were to do 100 preliminary rounds, chances are I wouldn't be able to get good, realistic results from the 15-20 voters I've been getting on things. So I think surveys like that I'll save until if/when I get a bigger number of people voting.


(Questions suggestion) "Best all-rounder (singing, dancing, personality)"

While it's a nice thought, I think that this would just come down to a typical "who's you're favorite member?" type of question. Although there might be a few people who would be honest and vote for someone who they think falls into all three categories, I just can't believe that people wouldn't just let their bias to their Oshis take over and vote for just whoever they like most. Plus, if you think about it, idols are humans too. All of them have their flaws, and chances are, it's in at least one of these three areas. So there's also the chance that people would try and pick out members who are really good in maybe 2/3 categories, but not so much in the other. The point I'm trying to make is that, while it seems like a cool question, the criteria are a bit too much, I think.


(Questions suggestion) "OG!"
"Top group members of all time for Morning musume"

I do really, really want to make an OG related survey soon too. Unfortunately, much like the songs survey idea, I haven't quite thought of how to ask the questions where they wouldn't be super difficult, especially for people like me who have like half and half OG/current members in my top 5 MoMusu, or if I were to do an overall OG survey, how to ask questions related to soloists or groups that have graduated, or even groups that's members were once H!P members, but the groups themselves weren't (like Up Up Girls, The Possible, etc) and other issues like that. So for the time being, I'll be sticking to current H!P related surveys, but YES, I do want to make an OG related one in the near future!


Alrighty, so the tie-breaker survey is right here. Most of the questions this time, answering is optional, however, I do hope that people will try to vote for at least one of the girls per question so that hopefully we can get rid of these ties and make the final survey. Have fun :D
