10 My Me (stylized as ⑩ MY ME) is Japanese pop girl group Morning Musume's tenth studio album. It was released March 17, 2010 in both a regular and limited edition. The normal edition came with a photocard, depicting a similar picture to the limited edition cover. The limited edition was packaged with a bonus DVD and had a different, black cover. [1] The title of the album is a pun: "10 My Me" is read as "Jū-maime" (じゅうまいめ) in Japanese, which literally means "tenth album". [2] The album contains vocals from former member Koharu Kusumi who graduated from the group in December 2009; [3] she is not credited. [4]

Writing and development

On December 30, 2009, along with the announcement of then-forthcoming release of their forty-second single, " Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai", it was also announced that the group would be releasing their tenth studio album on March 17, 2010. [3] According to Tsunku, "Genki Pikappika!" was originally chosen as the opening track for the album; however, he felt that "Moonlight Night (Tsukiyo no Ban da yo)" was a better choice. [5] The Chinese version of "Ame no Furanai Hoshi de wa Aisenai Darō?" was included in the album as a chance to give the two Chinese members, Junjun and Linlin, a chance to shine and challenge the other members. [5]

Singles

" Shōganai Yume Oibito" was released as the album's lead single in Japan on May 13, 2009 and topped the Oricon single chart. This became their first number-one single since 2006's " Aruiteru" [6] and extended their record for having the most number-one singles for a female group. [7]

The second single was " Nanchatte Ren'ai", released on August 12, 2009, nearly 3 months after the release of "Shōganai Yume Oibito". It debuted at number-two on the Oricon single chart. [8] This made them the second group to have forty Top 10 singles since their debut after Japanese pop boy band SMAP, who accomplished this feat back in October 2006. [8]

The third single, " Kimagure Princess", was released on October 28, 2009 and would be the last single for Koharu Kusumi, who joined the group as the only seventh generation member in 2005. [9] "Kimagure Princess" debuted at number four on the Oricon charts. [10]

" Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai" was the last single from the album, released on February 10, 2010. The single debuted at number five on the charts. [11]

Promotion

In order to promote the album, Morning Musume appeared on various TV shows such as, Samma no Mamma, [12] MuJack, [13] and Waratte Iitomo. [14] The group appeared at a 3D fashion concert and performed their 2000 hit song " Ren'ai Revolution 21". [15] Risa Niigaki and Aika Mitsui also worked part-time as cashiers for two hours at Tower Records in Shibuya on the day of the album's release. [16] The album was further promoted by their spring concert tour, titled Pikappika!, which began on March 19, 2010. [17]

Track listing

All tracks are written by Tsunku [18] except the Chinese lyrics for "Ame no Furanai Hoshi de wa Aisenai Darō?", which were written by Zheng Zhao Ren [4]
