Misa of minna iru kai has posted an awesome survey, which she had actually posted when her blog was here on Vox. Nonetheless I really enjoy reading other people's responses... and here are mine :D

1. What was the first Japanese song that you ever listened to?

CHE.R.RY by YUI. It's still one of my favorite songs to this day. Even when I listen to it now I remember those hot summer days that I spent in my room researching YUI and getting my first taste of Hello!Project.

Oh gosh, I'm getting all sentimental now.

2. Did it inspire you to like that group/singer, or did it turn you away?

Yes, very much, but to this day I don't really like YUI all that much anymore. Her style of music just doesn't appeal to me.

3. What is the one song that you have been listening to for the longest time?

CHE.R.RY, Goodbye Days, or Sakura Chirari. I got into those songs all at the same time almost. Oh gosh. The nostalgia.

4. What group/singer have you liked the longest?

C-ute, I'm still a fan of them to this day and Sakura Chirari was a longtime obsession of mine. 

5. What is the song with the most plays on your itunes/media player?

Always With Me (from Spirited Away) by the East Winds Ensemble. Second is Sakura Chirari, but C-ute of course, and third is Sakura Mankai by Morning Musume Sakura Gumi.,

6. Is that song your favorite?

Yes, Spirited Away is an animation masterpeice and the song is so pretty. It gives me goosebumps when I hear it, and the recorder thats used in it is just too pretty sounding. Gosh I can go on and on about this song.

7. If not, what is?

N/A 

8. Is there any one group that you can listen to all/most of the songs by? If so, who?

Yes, Morning Musume. They've had so many different members over the years and if you listen to their first few singles and their more recent singles, they're so different. Momusu, and Hello!Project in general, has so much to offer. 

9. What is your favorite agency?

UFA, they're the only agency I know of.

10. What is your favorite group/singer?

It's a no-brainer: Morning Musume.

Bests

Best Group Single

C/C by High King has to be the best group single. Even the B side was worthy of being an A side it was so epic.

Best Soloist Single

Because I never fully listened to the entire Suppin Rock, I can't exactly say its the best soloist single. So as it was origionally a toss up between Nacchi's Screen and Ogamana's Suppin Rock, Nacchi wins.

Best Group Album

I liked COVER YOU. Alot. I even bought it. So even though there weren't any origional songs in it, COVER YOU by Morning Musume wins.

Best Soloist Album

Not a single soloist released an album with except Koharu. And... I don't like Koharu. So I'm leaving this blank.

N/A.

Best PV

Screen. It was so pretty and artistic, and since I caught the photography bug, I really wanted to do some type of photoshoot on that set.

Group With Best Overall Releases

Buono!. Hands down. All their singles this year were full of win.

Best New Group (debuted in 2008)

MilkyWay. I can't stand Koharu but Yuu and Sayaka have good vocals. Sayaka reminds of myself actually ^^;

Best New Soloist (debuted in 2008)

Mano Erina. While I don't like her voice or her work, I have to say, she certainly is the "it" girl of Hello!Project right now.

Best Established Group (did not debut in 2008)

Of course I'm going to say Morning Musume.

Best Established Soloist (did not debut in 2008)

Abe Natsumi. I love her voice so much. Its like, soprano and alto AT THE SAME TIME.

Best Photobook

I don't look at the photobooks much, but I'm going to have to say Very Reina because looking at the scans I like all the clothes she wears :D And of course, Reina is very photogenic.

Hottest Idol of 2008

Make you Happy

Chinami has gotten quite pretty this year. Also, her personality is very outgoing and I like it. (of course we all know that I think Mari is always the best idol)

Worsts

Worst Group Single

LALALA Shiawase no Uta by C-ute. Its so repetitive and boring and bubblegum pop-ish.

Worst Soloist Single

Pa Pancake by Kusumi Koharu. WHO SINGS ABOUT PANCAKES?

Worst PV

Charisma Kirei by Melon Kinenbi. For goodness sakes they could have atleast made a PV instead of mashing together concert footage.

Worst Vocalist of 2008

Berryz Kobo's very own Sugaya Risako. Must I say more? Just watch the RisakoxAiri duet of VERY BEAUTY and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Least Attractive Girl of 2008

I honestly don't think theres a single girl in H!P who is not attractive in any way. They all have good personalities and if they don't have personalities they have looks. And if they don't have either... well I'm yet to find someone like that.
