Second generation was my favorite.
But what a poor decision it was to make Tanpopo into a cute group - whether the song was good or not, it departed too much from the group's image, I think.
Otome Pasta ni Kandou and Koi wo Shichaimashita are my favorite Tanpopo songs.

and i would have to say 1st gen was my fav
i totally agree it was a really bad decision to go from a mature group to another childish group , no offence to tanpopo
Tanpopo , Seinaru Kane ga Hibiku Yoru , and Oujisama to Yuki no Yoru would have to be my fav. songs

Tanpopo was an amazing subgroup. I loved them best, though in the "Oujisama To Yuki No Yoru" days.

i agree. although i love 3rd gen and it's only single, it wasn't really tanpopoish. i liked the 3rd gen line-up better and i would probably have liked them better than 2nd gen if they only had kept the mature style (although it might'd been hard for gaki and konno to pull of mature style when they were so young) and released more singles.Good thread. Tanpopo might be my favorite subgroup.

my favourite songs are Koi wo Shichaimashita and Koi no yaroyobee (even if it doesn't feel like tanpopo).

The group that was added was WAY too young and inexperienced, and the wrong vocal balance. Konno, who has a weak , if not bad voice, Risa who was only, what, fourteen at the time? Rika should not have been retained if they did have to shuffle things up as she had a weak voice. Really the only person I agreed with adding was Ayumi, as it gave her more exposure, and she was talented and old enough to carry the songs.
If we ever had a revived Tanpopo, or a new group based in the same mold, then Eri and Aika in all the way. Haru Beautiful Everyday prooved to me without doubt that these type of songs fit the those two girls perfectly, and despite Aika's age, she would work, thanks to the the other three girls being older. Like Aibon did. And Risa, now she's older and Ayumi. A nice group, that would be ^^
I only go - UP! UP!

As regards the best sub-groups, well, Tanpopo is in top 3 along with Biyuden and Melon Kinenbi, IMO.
Fave tracks: Ai no uta (coupling to "Motto" - 1st gen), "Nenmatsu Nenshi no Dai Keikaku" (coupling to "Oujisama to Yuki no Yoru" - 2nd gen). Those Tanpopo singles contain hidden treasures!

Just imagine the first Tanpopo line-up today: One married with children, one soon-to-be-married and soon-to-be-mother and one in-an-out of a short term relationship. Ain't that a mess ?!

Not by any defintion that I know of. Biyuden has one ex-member and that's it. The other six (total) were never Musumes. Pretty sure that excludes them from the sub-group title.
