I went back and edited my first post to include favs for 2015. I can't believe I managed to actually end up with favorites this year. The releases this year were all so disappointing to me that I had lost hope, but MM's 60th single and C-ute's new album are like a Christmas miracle for me. Yes! There is indeed a god up there somewhere! So flippin happy right now!

[Ares13]

2007: Honto no Jibun (Buono!)
2008: Forever Love (C-ute)
2009: Dakishimete Dakishimete (Berryz Kobo)
2010: Genkimono de Ikou! (Mano Erina)
2011: Uchouten LOVE (S/mileage)
2012: One•Two•Three / The Matenrou Show (Morning Musume)
2013: Ee ka!? / "Ii Yatsu" (S/mileage)
2014: Romance wo Katatte / Towa no Uta (Berryz Kobo)

2015: Oh my wish!/Sukatto My Heart/Imasugu Tobikomu Yuuki (Morning Musume'15)

I think I call it for this year already ..
2016: Tsugitsugi Zokuzoku / Itoshima Distance / Koi Nara Tokku ni Hajimatteru (ANGERME)

[DarkLaharl]

Since i don't listen to everyone's albums, I'll just go with singles

Before becoming a fan:

1998: Daite Hold on Me (Morning Musume)
1999: -
2000: Koi no Dance Site (Morning Musume)
2001: Baby Koi ni KnockOut (PetitMoni)
2002: Souda We're Alive (Morning Musume)
2003: Daite Yo Please Go On (Maki Goto) [Starting to get hard from here ]
2004: Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari (Morning Musume)
2005: Suki Sugite Baka Mitai (Def Diva)

2006: Jiriri Kiteru (Berryz Koubou) [Damn it, Jiriri and Massara both released in the same year]

2007: Egao Yes Nude (Morning Musume)
2008: Cinderella Complex (High King) [Wow, for a pre-fan period, this year has a LOT of my fav songs]

Fan period [Haiz, everything will be super hard from here on]

2009: Kimagure Princess (Morning Musume)
2010: Shock (C-ute)
2011: Kiss Me Aishiteru (C-ute)
2012: Suki yo, Junjou Hankouki (Smileage) [a very very good year, renai hunter is actually my no.1 momusu song. dayum]

2013: Crazy Kanzen na Otona (C-ute)

2014: What is Love (Morning Musume)

2015: Desugita Kui wa Utarenai (Angerme)

2016: Tsugitsugi Zokuzoku (Angerme)
2017: Hatsukoi Sunrise (Tsubaki Factory)
2018: Nakenai ze Kyoukan Sagi (Angerme)

Counting only after the years after I become a fan, 2 Momusu, 3 C-ute, 4 Angerme, 1 Tsubaki. I am surprised there are more angerme than c-ute or momusu O.o well technically if i have given 2012 to momusu, it will be equal 3 for all

[Saburo]

Found my H!P Best of 2002 list, undated:

Souda! We're Alive - Morning Musume
Koko ni Iruzee! - Morning Musume
Do It! Now - Morning Musume
Yaruki! It's Easy - Goto Maki
Momoiro Kataomoi - Matsuura Aya
Te wo Nigite Arukitai - Goto Maki
Iikoto Aru Kinen no Shunkan - Morning Musume
Jinsei ga mou Hajimatteru - Cubic-Cross
Jun Lover - Morning Musume
Suki na Senpai - Morning Musume
Be Happy! Koi no Yajiroube - Tanpopo
Minimoni Hinamatsuri! - Minimoni
Aenai Nagai Nichyoubi - Fujimoto Miki
Tokyo Bijin - Nakazawa Yuko
Otoko Tomodachi - Morning Musume
______________

Thoughts from 2020:

-- OK with the Momusu top three. Could make an argument for "Do It!" being on top, on historical grounds.

-- Gocchin #4? That's lunacy. Singles from Ayaya and especially Mikitty have aged better.

-- I apologize to no one for my love of Kaasan Sayaka! She got the boot way too soon from the Mother Ship and continues to be a shining celebrity in her post-idol life. Her Pucchimoni reunion showed she still got the chops!

-- Random thought: I'd probably rate Minimoni singles together higher than Goto Maki singles, personally. Don't @ me.

-- Just noticed: only ONE (1) Ayaya song on the list? I was WAY behind the curve on her!
