Shin Hashimoto, Takui Nakajima, and good ol' Taisei — with Tsunku out of action (let's be honest, he'll never return to full-time work), those are the guys in charge of music production now.

Haven't Hashimoto Shin and Taisei been in charge of the detail music production for H!P and UF for a very long time, with Tsunku as the guy who make a final decision (producer role). With Tsunku out of the main role, it probably means that he will no longer make most of the final decision although I really believe that he will keep his produce role for MM.

Frankly speaking, H!P and UF music without Tsunku as a producer has more varieties and more appeal to the mainstream market while still keeping the usual quality, so it might be a good thing. I still miss the "Tsunku magic" and hope that we will hear his kind of music again from time to time though.

Okay, I'll rephrase: those guys are fully in charge of music production now.

(Wordsmithing in action!)

By the way, for any newbies or lurkers who don't know: Taisei was the keyboardist in Tsunku's band, Sharam Q.

He's also been credited as (either joint or sole) "sound director" on nearly every H!P concert DVD and Blu-ray for years.

For example from the Ultra Smart tour:

Wondering when the release date is for that Lovelys!!!! album is (unless it's an online downloadable deal?), I am interested in giving their material a listen. Heck, I am interested in learning more about them, period.

You used to be able to buy their stuff on the Hello! shop online store but I don't know if you can anymore.
