I've seen tons of different opinions from people on here about which song or release was the best during the beginning of this year, so I decided to make this poll to see a whole rounded view of what everyone's favorite song and release of this year was. This poll only includes songs from H!P groups only. 

 

Awards! 

 

Hello!Online's most liked song: 

Hello!Online's least liked song:

Hello!Online's least liked single release: 

 

There is no "All" or "None" option, because well, if you like them all, tick them all, if you don't like them all, don't tick them. It gives a better statistic, and I just like to make your lives 0.01% harder,

 

I made the poll this way so that we can see a general picture of peoples favorite single and favorite song from each single. I'll probably round up the results around the end of this month. Feel free to make a results table at the end if you wish ^^ 

 

If you want to go into further detail about your choices.

I fill in some of these too because I love talking too much.
 
Most liked song from each groups release: 
 
C-ute: Tsugi no Kado wo Magare. Like I miss you, this one sounds rather artistic and I like that.
Morning Musume'15: Ima Koko Kara. I'm a sucker for cute songs. Yuugure wa Ameagari is the better song though I think.
ANGERME: Otome no Gyakushuu. It just gives off the right feeling. Taiki Bansei was great but they messed up the mixing of the recorded version.
Juice=Juice : Eh none of them actually, but if I have to choose I'd take Ça va? Ça va?, just for the "Ça va Ça va Ça va oui" parts.
Country Girls: Koi Dorobou. Itooshikutte is nice, too, but I like Koi Dorobou better.
Kobushi Factory: Nen ni wa nen. Nice and rockish. The intro always gets me.
 
Least liked song from each groups release:

C-ute : GamushaLIFE. Lackluster. I get that it's the anniversary song and therefore supposed to be a bit calming and stuff, but it's too boring for me.
Morning Musume'15: Seishun Kozou ga Naiteiru. It's my least favourite MM A-side ever.
ANGERME: I like both songs quite a lot.
Juice=Juice : Both, but Wonderful World is worse. A bit boring, notes set too high, I forget its melody just after I heard it.
Country Girls: I like both songs.
Kobushi Factory: Survivor is good but not my kind of song.

Most liked song from each groups release: 
 
C-ute: The Middle Management. At first I fell for Tsugi no Kado wo Magare, but my love for upbeat dance songs said it's word.
Morning Musume'15: Seishun Kozou ga Naiteru. Although I'm disappointed at the choreography, I love the song.
ANGERME: Otome no Gyakushuu. It's really different and I love the dance break in the end.
Juice=Juice : Ca Va? Ca Va?. It's AMAZING! In my Top 3 Juice=Juice songs. Definitely what I've been missing in the last few months.
Country Girls: Itooshikutte Gomen Ne. I'm not really into the cute idolish songs, but that one has the retro idol feel. It's one of the best H!P releases.
Kobushi Factory: None of them tbh. I haven't even listened them to the end. I just can't.
 
Least liked song from each groups release:

C-ute : GamushaLIFE. It's kinda boring, although once I've listened to the instrumental my feelings about the song changed a bit. 
Morning Musume'15: Ima Koko Kara. Too boring for me and too idolish and cutesy.
ANGERME: I like both songs, but I'm getting really bored and tired of Taiki Bansei nowadays.
Juice=Juice : I love both of them. Even if WW is not my kind of cup, it's definitely one of the best H!P songs and it gives the girls' vocals some more spotlight.
Country Girls: Koi Dorobou. I can't listen to it. Too squeaky and boring in my opinion. Much like Ima Koko Kara and Gamusha.
Kobushi Factory: I don't like both of the songs as I said.

[sillykitty]

Most liked song from each groups release: 

 

C-ute  Not really into any of them but I'd pick Tsugi no Kado wo Magare over the other two.

Morning Musume'15  I absolutely Love Seishun Kozou ga Naiteiru! Yuugure is okay too but down-tempo wise Toki wo Koe Sora wo Koe is going to be hard to beat...

ANGERME  Taiki BAnsei Taiki BAnsei Taiki Bansei~

Juice=Juice I'm not massively on either of these tracks but I definitely prefer Cava Cava

Country Girls  Itooshikutte Gomen Ne! Got to love that retro feel! And the outfits are super cute

Kobushi Factory I haven't really been following this group but I thought Nen ni wa Nen was pretty cute

 

Least liked song from each groups release:

C-ute The Middle Management. This song is just pants.

Morning Musume'15 Ima Koko Kara. Anime faff. Makes me feel kind of nostalgic but not my cup of tea.

ANGERME Otome no Gyakushuu. I almost like it until the chorus which is so repetitive and has no decent melody to speak of.

Juice=Juice Wonderful World. I don't dislike it. In fact some bits I think are, melodically, really neat. But lets face it this song is cheesy even to h!p

Country Girls I like both.

Kobushi Factory Survivor. Really not feeling it.

[Paramorning]

Most liked song from each groups release: 
 
C-ute I don't really love any but I'm a sucker for fast EDM instrumentals, so TMM is the best for me.
Morning Musume'15 Seishun Kozou's chorus is amazing.
ANGERME I like both but Taiki Bansei is a bit catchier.
Juice=Juice Ca va Ca va has more..... going on. 
Country Girls I like both but Koi Dorobou seems just a little bit different. 
Kobushi Factory I love both but Survivor's chorus is... something else.
 
Least liked song from each groups release:

C-ute GamushaLIFE. It's cute but not really something I would put on repeat. 
Morning Musume'15 Ima Koko Kara, because I like the other 2 too much
ANGERME Otome no Gyakushuu, because the chorus is a little bit repetitive. 
Juice=Juice Wonderful World is too mainstream idolish for me, but I don't dislike it,
Country Girls Itooshikute, but only because I prefer Koi Dorobou.
Kobushi Factory I love both songs so much but Survivor just takes it this time. Nen ni wa nen is also incredibly awesome, though.

C-ute GamushaLIFE : the melody is nice, MV is complement it, and fast talking line is flowing smoothly, overall it give nice friendship themed song,,

Most liked song from each groups release: 

C-ute - Tsugi no Kado wo Magare, it reminds me of a song that could be on a Final Fantasy game! 
Morning Musume'15 - Yuugure wa Ameagari, it sounds beautiful, songs like this are right up my alley.
ANGERME Taiki Bansei, I still hum the song months after release! 
Juice=Juice Ca Va? Ca Va?, I don't know what it is about this song, I just like how different it is lmao
Country Girls - Both! I love this single so much!
Kobushi Factory - Ni Nen wa Nen, I love survivor too, but this song just slays.
 
Least liked song from each groups release:

C-ute - The Middle Management, I love the choreography but the song sounded kinda generic and didn't leave me blown away like the other two songs on this single.
Morning Musume'15 - Seishun Kozou ga Naiteiru, like Juandalyn I was really disapointed in this song, out of the 60+ A-sides from MM, this is in the bottom 10 on my list. 
ANGERME - I didn't dislike any song, I just preferred TB over OnG
Juice=Juice - Wonderful World, It's really generic lol I got bored after a while of listening to it. 
Country Girls - None, again I love both songs they're amazing! 
Kobushi Factory - Again none, both NiNen and Survivor slay, but NiNen slays a little harder lol.

Morning Musume'15 Yuugure wa Ameagari, the lyrics and the way they're singing makes me cry  
Juice=Juice Ca Va Ca Va?, at first i dont really like this song... but now... this song stuck in my head, i love the 'ima wa yumemiru youni etc' part   
Country Girls Koi Dorobo, i like it better than itoshikutte, because they're singing it with so much energy and i like the 'yabai kamo' part in the bridge sooo cute and catchy  
Kobushi Factory Nen ni wa Nen, i love the line distribution and i looooves minamina's solo part 

 
Least liked song from each groups release:

C-ute : The Middle Management, i barely remember how's the melody of this song just listen to ot once and never listen again

Morning Musume'15 Ima Koko Kara, i dont really like it, just same as other generic anime song for me X(
ANGERME Otome no Gyakushuu, it's not like i hate this song, i love it too, but i prefer Taiki Bansei... so....
Juice=Juice Wonderful World, nice song, but not as catchy as Ca Va?
Country Girls Itoshiikutte Gomenne, cute song, but i like Koi Dorobo better, i like it too
Kobushi Factory Survivor, honestly, i never listen to this song i will do that later.

[NightOfFire’21]

C-ute  Tsugi no Kado

Morning Musume'15 Yuugure, but Seishun is close!

ANGERME Taiki Bansei

Juice=Juice  Can I say none? I don't like either

Country Girls Same, I strongly dislike both songs. Cutesy, generic idol music just isn't for me

Kobushi Factory Survivor, but both songs are great!

 

Least liked song from each groups release:

C-ute  Gamusha life, one of their worst songs in recent years

Morning Musume'15 Ima koko kara. Again, not my type of music

ANGERME I don't dislike either. Both are great songs

Juice=Juice Both songs are awful

Country Girls Same as above. But these songs are just worse.

Kobushi Factory None

 

 

[minaeshi]

^Whoa you're the first person I've seen say they disliked CG's debut single so much

[CherryShoujo]

Most liked song from each groups release: 
 
C-ute I actually really liked Gamusha LIFE. It makes me really emotional for some reason. :') But still, overall I think the best song is Tsugi no Kado wo Magare-
Morning Musume'15 I loved Yuugure because it gives off a kind of Platinum era vibe and it sounds great!
ANGERME Probably Taiki Bansei, but it's mostly a tie
Juice=Juice Even though it's really generic, I'd say Wonderful World
Country Girls Itoshikute gomen ne is too cute and catchy! Also, the dance helps
Kobushi Factory I love Nen ni wa nen!
 
Least liked song from each groups release:

C-ute The Middle Management. It's not a bad song, but I don't like it as much.
Morning Musume'15 To be honest, the first time I heard Seishun kozou from a radio rip I hated it. Thanks to the mvs I've come to really like it, but still it's not the kind of song I usually enjoy.
ANGERME None. I love both the songs a lot, despite them being so different.
Juice=Juice Ça va Ça va, but not by much.
Country Girls Again, I really dig this group because of it's generic idol cuteness that's mostly absent from H!P, so I love both songs. I'd say Koi Dorobou a tiny bit less. 
Kobushi Factory Survivor, just because I haven't listened to it that much. 

[Touki]

Most liked song from each groups release:

C-ute Tsugi no Kado wo magare

Morning Musume'15 Yuugure wa Ameagari: I really love the melody of this some

ANGERME Taiki Bansei: The melody is really catchy here.

Juice=Juice Ca va Ca va: I love that French-styled music

Country Girls Itooshikutte Gomen ne: This song is cutesy but my brain can't stop playing this song. It has something that really catches people's ears

Kobushi Factory Nen ni wa nen: This song rocks.

 

Least liked song from each groups release:
 

C-ute: None

Morning Musume'15 Seishun kouzo ga naiteiru: I don't like the breaks between lines in that song

ANGERME Otome no Gyakushuu: This song is weird to me, but I don't hate it though.

Juice=Juice Wonderful World: After 100 times hearing this song, I'll never stop hating this. Boring and forgettable song, cute and fun song should be something like Itooshikutte or be added some rock melody into like Ponytail to Shushu or Heavy Rotation, not Christmas-y melody while this song is not about Christmas at all.

Country Girls None, Koi doborou is cutesy song but not as catchy as Itooshikutte, but I really don't hate it

Kobushi Factory None.

[Muyim Pimoup]

yeah, taiki bansei deserved it,, it has been playing in my head so long,,

[redfreesias03]

Whoops! Even though it's too late, here's my opinion:

Spoiler

C-ute
Most liked: Gamusha LIFE
Least liked: The Middle Management
It’s a close call. Despite Tsugi no Kado wo Magare’s amazing usage of strings and The Middle Management’s frank approach on the modern-day dilemma of work vs love, Gamusha LIFE is my favorite because a) Team C-ute, cute idol rapping, c) there will just never be enough simple songs about friendship, ever.

Morning Musume ’15
Most liked: Yuugure wa Amegari
Least liked: Ima Koko Kara
Ima Koko Kara is sweet and Seishun Kozou’s “Kuratto kichatte seishun da ne” line was stuck in my head for like an entire week, but Yuugure wa Amegari featuring Fukuchan lead vocals and Maachan piano is a breath of fresh air with lyrics that really hit home.

ANGERME
Most liked: Taikibansei
Least liked: Otome no Gyakushuu
Otome no Gyakushuu is great and has what may be the best title ever (UFP translates it literally as “Counterattack” but it’s probably closer to “Revenge of the Maiden” or “The Girl Strikes Back”—so yes, super horror movie-ish), but Taikibansei is just too catchy. 

Juice=Juice
Most liked: Ca va? Ca va?
Least liked: Wonderful World
Wonderful World is a pretty song with adorable lyrics, but somewhere in the back of my head, I’m always irrationally angry that Sayubee isn’t singing about skies of blue and clouds of white (and the outfits for the song really don’t help ). Ca va? Ca va? has an almost Showa-era sound reminiscent of the golden age of idols and not one, not two, but three catchy hooks all at once. Easily one of my favorite J=J songs in awhile.

Country Girls
Most liked: Itooshikute Gomen ne
Least liked: Koi Dorobou
Cute, nostalgic, and a tongue-in-cheek play on Momo’s Momochi trademark line, Itooshikute Gomen ne is not only the first genuinely cutesy A-side that Cool Hello!’s had in awhile, it’s UFP making sure the group hits the ground running.

Kobushi Factory
Most liked: Survivor
Least liked: Nen ni wa Nen
Nen ni wa Nen’s “nen nen nen” lines make it memorable enough for me (and I love the bridge and chorus separately), but it sounds a little…disjointed somehow? But maybe that’s intentional, given the lyrics. Even so, it’s a solid song and the choreography looks super-fun. Can’t wait to hear this song performed after the members grab more experience under their belts. Survivor is overall just really great, even with the disturbing lyrics and everything. (The “One, you pick a person. Two, the person picked will vanish” creeped me out so much the first time I heard it and a few weeks later, it’s quickly become one of my favorite lines. ) It’s an interesting song to give rookies that have been given so many rivals even before being officially debuted and thrown into the cutthroat entertainment world, so the intellectual factor alone makes it my favorite.

But yeah, the power of Taikibansei's funk officially cannot be denied.

[Solarbladepsy]

Not to be picky but Juice=Juice did release a much fuller OST from their Koisuru Hello Kitty play too

[Juandalyn]

I guess it would've looked out of place between the singles though.

[Solarbladepsy]

True, explains the Berryz best missing as well lol
