ANGERME: Let the angels cry

As you all might know: S/mileage finally announced their new name!
They will go on under the name ANGERME, which doesn't mean Anger me, but Angel Tears.
Nakanishi Kana seems to be the one who came up with this name. It is made up of two french words: Ange, which means Angel and Larme, which means tear. 
The very first time I saw the name I really didn't know what to think. I didn't even know how to prenounce it. But when I saw Ayaka say the name, I kinda liked it. The french is beautiful and I think it sounds awsome in japanese. But it is quite unfortuned in English. From S/mileage to Angerme...
Still I think it looks beautiful in their logo and I love the tear in the A and the little wing!
Overall the "new" group looks very elegant and extremely modern and fresh. The white gives such a great feel to the group And the new members fit in very good. 
It might not suprise anyone, but the group also announced their first release, a double a-side single called: Taiki Bansei/Otome no Gyakushuu. It will be released on the 4th of febuary. 

I must say I am really happy for the 2nd and 3rd gen this whole change pulled through. They were worried about the group and I think this will let them make this group their own. I am kinda worried about Maro (Fukuda Kanon), she looks so unhappy in all the pictures and the announcement on Hello!Station. 
ANGERME does seem to be kinda diffrent from S/mileage, but who knows! Still it reminds me a little bit of just debuted S/mileage. The white outfits from Yume Miru, Ganbarre nakutemo and their first album. They might have had a younger and fluffier look, but still.
Anyway for now I guess I am really exited for them. The girls choose for this change, they also choose their new name! Please remember that! Who are we to say it's crap or not good when they were the ones to make this choice? Anyway I am happy about the name, I am happy Kana was the one of thought of it, I am happy they got to choose and I love the new profile pictures!!
I can't wait to see anything new from ANGERME. Covers, concertrips, radiorips! I hope we get something soon. For now I will mourn S/mileage, because it was a group I have loved since their start, but I will celebrate ANGERME!

Tsugunaga Momoko: Leaving with her pinky up

Afbeelding
Tsugunaga Momoko will be graduating from Country Girls and Hello!Project tomorrow. Momochii has been in Hello!Project for over 15 years and will now become a kindergarten teacher! Ahhhh, The last of Hello!Pro kids is going to graduate and her graduation is already tomorrow. I can not believe how fast this day has come. Graduations are hard. It is weird to see a girl grow and do all these amazing things in Hello!Project and then one day they graduate and you never see them anymore. And Momochii, well she is the idols of idols. She is in the same range as Michishige Sayumi if you ask me. Momo has been active for 15 years, she has been in many succesful groups and hse has even had her own solo songs and now even an album! Momoko is not only an amazing idol, but she has also shown us these last few years what an awsome mentor she has been to Country Girls. It must have been really hard on her to be the only one of her group not wanting to graduate and transfer to another...

Welcome 12th generation!

And here they are! Morning Musume's 12th generation members! Yesterday the announcement was (finally) made that these 4 girls got into Morning Musume! I wanna talk about them a little more! But first of all: I'm so happy that there are 4 new members. They look so cute and pure! I can't wait to see them in action! Ogata Haruna (15) My first reaction to this girl was the same as all the current Momusu members: She is called Haruna ? Two Haruna's?! But then again we once had two Ai's, so why not. Her official nickname is Daisaku if I'm right. I don't reallt know why she got this nickname and I don't know if it fits her. I think I would like to nickname her Ogaharu or Haruchii. But anyway she has been figureskate for 9 years and her birthday is the 15th of febuary 1999. I think she is very cute, she makes me think of a very young Aika with a bit of Uemura in her. I have high hopes for her vocals and dancing (she should be so elegant!!). No...
