「しょうがない 夢追い人」のC/Wがアニメエキスポ2009のテーマソングに。公式サイトで40秒だけ試聴できるが、ジャンルは娘。王道のコミックソングになっている。また、最新アルバムの米国発売も決定。テーマソング自体のタイアップ効果はなさそうだけど、このニュースが全世界を駆け巡ることによる(売上げでは量れない形の)効果はある…かも。

I think Anime culture is universal and I’m glad to hear American people are so into it. I believe good anime remains a masterpiece forever. At the same time, there is a very important element: music. I think music is a universal language, and music should be enjoyable from generation to generation. I am proud that MORNING MUSUMEhas made the theme song for Anime Expo® 2009. The concept of this song is positive power even during hard times. I wrote this song just for Anime Expo® 2009. I imagined everybody’s smile when I wrote it, and I’m looking forward to seeing you guys at the MORNING MUSUME concert. I hope new great energy will be born at the convention from this collaboration between Japanese and US culture, and that it will last into the future.” A :30 second preview sample of this song will be available on the Anime Expo® 2009 website and on JapanFiles.com’s MySpace page (www.myspace.com/japanfiles).
