OMG. Morning Musume drop their 39th single today with “Shōganai Yume Oibito” (しょうがない 夢追い人). Yes. Morning Musume single number 39. Scientific proof that if you take a bunch of super cute girls and have them sing super cute catchy songs, then people will eat it up forever and ever. How come America never figures out this pop-tastic formula? As is customary with Hello Project! singles, the MV will be released on DVD a week later.

“Shōganai Yume Oibito” (しょうがない 夢追い人) — My loose Japanese translation is “People Can’t Stop Chasing Dreams” — an inspiring song for the human spirit from Morning Musume as always. /sarcasm.

Rumor is that b-side “3, 2, 1 BREAKIN’OUT” will be the official song of SoCal’s Anime Expo (AX) 2009. AX usually takes place July 4th weekend so there’s still enough time for Morning Musume to release single #40. Updated: “3, 2, 1 BREAKIN’OUT” will be the official song! Check out http://www.anime-expo.org/ for the Morning Musume lovefest right on the front page!

Shōganai Yume Oibito (しょうがない 夢追い人) Tracklist:
1. しょうがない 夢追い人 (”People Can’t Stop Chasing Dreams” - David’s unofficial and possibly wrong translation)
2. 3, 2, 1 BREAKIN’OUT
3. しょうがない 夢追い人 (Instrumental)

And someone’s already posted the video on YouTube!
Watch it now before the classic Japanese record company YouTube violation notice takes it down.
