Juice=Juice week: Happy 4th debut anniversary!

Happy 4th debut anniversary Juice=Juice!
4 year ago Juice=Juice released their Major debut single Romance no Tochuu/ Watashi ga Iu Mae ni Dakishimenakya ne (MEMORIAL EDIT)/Samidare bijo ga Samidareru (MEMORIAL EDIT).
The single was released with 5 of the 6 original Juice=Juice members:
Miyazaki Yuka
Kanazawa Tomoko
Takagi Sayuki
Miyamoto Karin
Uemura Akari
There were 6 editions released and later on an Event V version.
The single sold over 43.000 copies.

Originally this single was planned to feature all original 6 members, however member Otsuka Aina left the group before the release. The single was recorded again, yet in some early versions of the MV's Aina could be spotted by a well trained eye.
Later on a picture of all 6 members in the Romance no Tochuu outfits was also leaked.

I am sure we all have fond memories of Romance no Tochuu. I remember it being released and thinking that I liked Watashi ga Iu mae ni better, as it felt so different and fresh from what we had until then. Romance no Tochuu was kind of boring in my eyes. However, the song really grew for me and I started to love it. When the MV was released I was really happy with the feel they were going with and how old school yet new it all looked. 
Ofcourse I was also really bitter about Aina's sudden departure and the Memorial Edits weren't really my thing, as I loved the original versions so much. Yet it was Juice=Juice and that actually made up for everything I didn't like. Kind of weird right?
Now it has been four years since their debut and Juice=Juice is now a 7 member group with 12 singles on their name, an album, a drama, a budokan concert and one upcoming, 220 lives across Japan and a world tour! Juice=Juice has been doing well and I am expecting so much more from them. With the two new members, they are now leveled up and I am sure we are going to be blown away by all the things they are going to do in the next few years!

Happy 4th anniversary Juice=Juice!
May many follow and until Sunday!

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...

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...
