Recognition[edit]

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)[reply]

Neutrality[edit]

Article has severe bias towards Hello! Project works. It barely mentions Sharam Q (a band with two million selling singles), any of the events in his life pre-2006 and needs some serious work. --Prosperosity (talk) 12:14, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd argue that your perception of "severe bias" may itself be rooted in bias. The vast majority of Tsunku's work has been as Hello! Project's producer; he's produced more than 300 Hello! Project CDs over the last 12 years, as well as concerts, stage plays, and other tie-ins. He may have been more visible as a frontman for Sharam Q, but his work with that one group has been a much smaller part of his career as a whole, and it's only fair that this article reflect that truth. I'm not saying that adding more information about the man himself isn't a good idea, but disputing the article's neutrality seems like an overreaction. - Scooty-Puff Sr (talk) 17:00, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
