"Shōganai Yume Oibito" (しょうがない夢追い人, "Helpless Dream Chaser") is the 39th single release by the J-pop group Morning Musume. It was released under the Zetima label on May 13, 2009. The CD was released in one regular and two limited editions, Limited A and Limited B, on the same day.^[1] The single ranked #1 on Oricon's weekly chart, making it their first #1 since their single "Aruiteru", released in late 2006,^[2] and the first #1 Morning Musume single featuring 8th generation members Aika Mitsui, Junjun, and Linlin.^[3] The Single V version of the single was released on May 20, 2009.^[4]
