[edit] Recognition

I don't want to go ahead and change the text of the entry yet, but even though he is known as the producer of Morning Musume/Matsuura Aya/HP etc., I think he is still better known (and was first known) to most Japanese people as the lead singer of Sharan Q - a markedly significant group in Japanese pop music history. The statement in the text might just be reflecting the viewpoint of random Jpop fans in the West who only know of him through Morning Musume, etc. Kenzilla

• Given that the main audience of this Wiki is English-speaking readers, and that Western J-pop fans know him better as a producer and songwriter than as a singer, it's kinda best to mention the MoMusu/H!P association first. However, if you'd care to try to expand this article somehow, it can't hurt to mention both, or to mention that Western fans know him as a producer/songwriter while Japanese fans know him as a singer (and as sometime host of Pop Jam and a few other TV shows). --CJ Marsicano 03:31, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
