Ikimasshoi!, the Morning Musume fanlisting was launched on August 1, 2005 ♪ Ikimasshoi! is a cute way of saying Ikimashou!, and translates to Let's go! in English. It is taken from their pre-performance cheer, Ganbatte Ikimasshoi!, which means Let's do our best!, and the girls can be heard yelling this out as they gather in a circle before a performance. I thought this cute and energetic yell fit Morning Musume's image perfectly, so I decided to name the fanlisting after it. Ikimasshoi! is also the title of one of their songs, which is also the title of their 4th album ♪

Version 4 of the fanlisting features the 2009 lineup of the group, from a scan from their 2009 calendar. The theme is spring, with sakura flowers adorning the design in a green, pink, and white color scheme. I wanted to portray the girls in a simple and natural setting - away from the flashy costumes and glittery idol personalities.

For this design, you can hover over the Generation number on the layout to see the names of each girl pop up.
