Mitsui Aika's Graduation

Ohgawd, it's another member graduation from Morning Musume. This time, it's Mitsui Aika.



Aika will be graduating alongside with Gakisan on the 18th May 2012.
Honestly, I'm really tired of hearing members graduating. It's such a heart break to hear them graduating even if they're not leaving the agency - just yet.
Now, when Gakisan and Aika graduates, Sayumin and Reina will be the last senior members.
I really do worry how they'll handle the new members by themselves. *sighs*
I'm already predicting that Sayumin and Reina's graduation won't be far away.
I think Tsunku will graduate them after the 9th and 10th gen members are ready to walk on their own feet.

Anyways, you can read more about it here, with it's glorious translations and whatnot.

For now, I wish Aika all the best with her recovery. oTL

PS: I know this post is all over the place lol.

SID's Fuyu no Bench & See You-karin Photobook GET!!

OSU!! (^o^)/
Today, the CDJapan stuff arrived! I was super excited when I saw the FedEx truck came by. ☆
My friend and I ordered a bunch of stuff last December.
My friend, Kiyomi-chan, ordered her SID's Fuyu no Bench and I ordered Maeda Yuuka's See You-karin.

Niigaki Risa to Graduate from Hello! Project

Picture from her Official Blog

I just saw the news about Gaki-san graduating from Morning Musume and Hello! Project.
Honestly, I wasn't that shock about it. I've already had a really strong feeling about her graduating this year or the next. After Ai-chan's graduation, I just knew she'll be the next to graduate and I felt like she'll graduate not soon after Ai-chan. However, I was still very unprepared when the news hit me.

So, when I saw the news about it, I felt a slap from reality.
I mean... of course, all idols will graduate around or before their mid-20's. It's like a silent rule of the idol business. But still, I can't help but cry and get depressed about it. It was the same like Ai-chan's graduation news.

Aside from my sappy feelings, how will Morning Musume fare in the idol industry?
Two of their powerhouse vocalists, Ai-chan and Gaki-san, are/will not be there anymore.
Will Reina and Sayumin be able to shoulder those responsibilities? Who will be doing the rap parts?
This time, everyone has to step up their game especially the 10th gen members. They were chosen for their vocals, mainly. The pressure on the newer members, 9th and 10th gen, will be upped.

For the moment, I'm worried about Morning Musume's future.
The newer members are still very young and have a long way of achieving what the older members possessed. Their voices are not polished enough, yet. Aside from vocals, I'm not that worried about their dancing abilities as they have Riho, Ayumi and Haruka.

Back on the topic of Gaki-san's graduation, I hope she'll have another photobook!
And I hope she gets a spectacular graduation concert, just like Ai-chan did.

For now, I hope Morning Musume will be able to hold themselves after Gaki-san's graduation date.
I'm anxious to see what the future holds for them and how they will fare in the idol industry.
I will always miss Gaki-san, just like how her other fans will too. All the best to her for these few months.

A Month After Takahashi Ai's Graduation

It has been a month since Ai-chan graduated from Hello! Project on September 2011.
It still feels very surreal. And I still miss her so much. （；_・）
Whenever I watch her graduation concert, I cry like a sissy.

Ai-chan is still one of the greatest members of Hello! Project and Morning Musume.
She's full of talent. She's full of hope. Because it's Ai-chan. (´･ω･｀)

No one can ever replace her.
NO. ONE. AT. ALL.

Ai-chan is one of the kind. And that's why we, Hello! Project fans, love her so dearly.
Once again, I wish her luck on her new journey.
May her journey be a fruitful one. (*＾▽＾)／
Ai Believe she'll make herself successful. ☆彡

Yuukarin's Graduation

It's been 24 hours since I read the news about Yuukarin graduating.
It's still so hard to take it all in.



I have been a fan of hers since she became one of ManoEri's back-up dancers, her Shugo Chara Egg days, her role as Amu in the Shugo Chara musical and most importantly, her S/mileage days - before and after their major debut. Altogether, it's been almost 3 years since I became a fan of her.

♥ Official News of Kusumi Koharu's Graduation ♥

This is taken from Hello! Online.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Seventh-generation member Kusumi Koharu (17), will be graduating from Morning Musume and Hello!Project this December. She's been a member of Morning Musume ever since winning the 7th gen audition back in 2005.

There are official comments on the Hello!Project website from both Tsunku & Kusumi, and we have full translations inside.


Tsunku's Statement

Regarding 7th Generation Morning Musume Member "Kusumi Koharu"

At the final performance of of the "Morning Musume Concert Tour 2009 Autumn ~ Nine Smile ~" (Dec 6), 7th generation Morning Musume member Kusumi Koharu will be graduating from Morning Musume, and from Hello!Project. During the 4 years and 4 months she was in Morning Musume, she has learnt the basics as a singer and a talent. And next year, she will turn 18. She's come to learn the base of what it takes to work in a group. And at the same time, she's been working as "Tsukishima Kirari". Based on seeing all of her work so far, as a producer, I felt I wanted to let her have a solo career, so decided to have her graduate. Having said that, she won't be making a singing debut or any other kind of debut right away, and some of the plans are still a bit rough, but Kusumi will continue to work hard for now, while privately taking various lessons. Her own hope is to be a model, so I think she'll be aiming towards a new direction, and taking new steps. So everybody who has supported her so far, please continue to give your support to Kusumi Koharu, and to Morning Musume. Thank you very much!

× Graduation - AGAIN ×

Gosh. I just found out that Kusumi Koharu from Morning Musume (a VERY popular Japanese girl band) is leaving Hello! Project to pursue in modelling. Another talent gone down the drain... *sighs*

I really love Kusumi Koharu and she's one of my TOP favourite members from Hello! Project. I was SOOOOOO shocked that she was leaving!! I was left speechless when I read about it. She's leaving this early December. I hope she enjoys her last moments and graduation concert.

She'll make the right choice. If not, she could always join Avex, just like Goto Maki. ♥ Look how popular and sexy Goto Maki got, check out her latest video called Queen Bee. :3 *side-tracked* xDD;; Anyways, here's how she look like - if you don't know her.

She was the voice actress for Tsukishima Kirari in Kirarin Revolution. Her hyper-ness will be remembered forever! ♥ Hope to see her in her new modelling career soon.

She can do cute.

She can do sexy

Her latest photobook called "Sugar Doll". This is the cover of it. ♥

I'll miss her so much. Her cute and hyper voice. Her dance movements. Her laughter. Everything about her will be cherished!

Her last song in Kirarin Revolution and her latest solo song.

And her solo close-up shot of Nanchatte Renai.
"Nanchatte Renai" is Morning Musume's latest release. But upcoming song is "Kimagure Princess". But it hasn't been released yet, so yeah... xDD;;

Koha-chan, ganbare nee! Zettai ni makenai!

Everyday Zekkouchou!!!

♥ Single Version ♥

I've just downloaded the latest single from C-ute, it's called Everyday Zekkouchou!!!.

Tracklist--
1) Everyday Zekkouchou!!!
2) Amai Wana
3) Everyday Zekkouchou!!! (Instrumental vers)

Honestly, I think that "Amai Wana" sound much more better than Everyday Zekkouchou!!!. xD Aside from that, I think this is a perfect single for Erika-chan. It's so sad for her to leave C-ute... *sob* It'll be really lonely hearing only 5 in C-ute. 5 voices... *sighs* Though, I hope they don't add anyone! xDD;; With the five girls, there'll be better line distribution! ^3^
