Group Name Origin Edit

The name "Morning Musume" comes from various notions such as abundance, multitude, like the breakfast set youtime, and have said that they are encouraged to discuss problems if any in-fighting occurs.

The group was a rare case in which the producer, Tsunku, controlled all aspects of the group rather than the manager. According to the management, Tsunku was responsible for producing the songs, concepts, costumes, makeup, live shows, CD-sleeve designs and more. As of late 2014, he is only only in charge of their sound[3] after stepping down as the general producer of Hello! Project including the overall production of Morning Musume.[2]

The first chief manager of the group, and the only manager publicly known to fans, was Wada Kaoru who was Sharam Q's manager prior to becoming in charge of Morning Musume from their formation up to the 4th generation members joining.[148][149][150]
