Now when somebody asks you... "who is your number one?" ...don't just tell them. Show them.

This is Hello! Ranking, your home for sharing your love for Hello! Project.

We started out with a simple idea—we wanted fans to be able to rank their favorite artists. You've always been ranking your favorites—in conversations, on blogs and on forums—we wanted to make that experience even better. To rank whenever you wanted, to look back and see who you loved when, to easily discover the rankings of others and to see who the community loves as a whole.

Our continuing experiment has grown in scope, what started out as just artists and groups will expand into songs, singles and albums—with a news network to boot. We have a lot in store for the community and we can't wait to welcome everybody to this next-generation fansite.

We've opened our doors for a private beta.

If you didn't get in, don't fret! We're letting people in at a turtle's pace so our servers don't blow up and to make sure that we're giving everybody a bug-free experience. Priority goes to the people who signed up with us before the private beta was launched. If you were part of that list, you should have already recieved an email (or will be reciving one soon). Either way, sign up below and follow us on Twitter to get notified of when we pick up the invite pace.
