The single "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari" (English: "The Story Of Noisy Girls") was the twenty-third single of J-pop idol group Morning Musume and was released 22 July 2004 and It sold a total of 91,789 copies. This single marks the graduation of members Nozomi Tsuji and Ai Kago before they went on to concentrate full-time on their duo W (Double You). The title track is the longest running Morning Musume song to date, and each of the song's 14 verses is an anecdote about each member of the band, sung by different three-to-five-person combinations of band members.
A new version of this song, with each band member singing an anecdote about themselves, is featured on their 6th album Ai no Dai 6 Kan, and is appropriately titled "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari 2". This version was recorded after Kago or Tsuji's graduation (although their backing vocals are still present, as a copy of the single version's original digitally-recorded mutli-track master was used).
Another version of the song (minus graduated/resigned members Kaori Iida, Rika Ishikawa and Mari Yaguchi, plus 7th Generation member Koharu Kusumi) is to be featured on their February 2006 album release Rainbow 7. This will be titled "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari 3"
The coupling track, "Ganbare Nippon Soccer Fight", was written and recorded for the 2004 Japanese Olympic Soccer Team.
