Yume no Kawa

Today, Morning Musume's 10th generation member Kudo Haruka will graduate. Kudo will leave Morning Musume and Hello!project to become an actress. When Kudo announced her graduation, I was really sad. I loved Kudo from since she was still and Egg and supported her all the way up to her. Yet, it was going to happen one day and Kudo happend to be the first 10th generation member to make up her mind and find a new dream. I remember when she was just this little thing with a cute haircut and her husky voice. She was so tiny and such a fresh addition to Morning Musume. She was my favorite during the auditions and always ranked pretty high in my rankings. I mean Kudo has it all: Interesting voice, cute face, acting skillz, model aura and I can go on. Sadly, after the 10th generation debut, Kudo was push into the back of the group in favor of Sato Masaki and Ishida Ayumi. She stayed in the background for well over 3/4 years, until Oh My Wish! Yet we have not to ...

Give me a moment *blows nose*. Okay, maybe you have heared, maybe you haven't. Inaba Manaka just graduated Country Girls. Graduated? Well she actually left, but management is calling it graduate so why the hell not. Remember Manakan? She is, I mean was a member of Country Girls and it's only current (not anymore) member from Hokkaido.  Sadly Manaka had been on haitus for about three months now, because she had trouble doing the Country Girls activities due to her astma. She would be taking some time of to recover and feel better and return to us around the end of the Hello!Pro summer tour. About a month ago I did this post about Manaka and how she might not come back, because Hello!Pro history wasn't in her favor and gosh did I hit the nail right on the head.... Manaka joined Hello!Pro kenshuusei in May of 2013. She grabbed a lot of attention due to her incredible dancing skills and her adorable squizy face. Also mine. Manaka is from Hokkaido, so when ...

And here we are once again. Tomorrow will be the day sweet Suzuki, the day you will leave us to follow your own dreams. As a fan I am so proud of you and everthing you did and everything you will be doing.  I wish you had more moments in the spotlight, zukki.  Yet maybe you never needed the spotlight, your smile was a light on it's own. You always made me and many many other fans smile when you preformed. But at this moment, Zukki, I can not find my smile. I can only wonder how I will be feeling tomorrow, how you will be feeling. Are you happy? Are you relieved? Are you lonely? Are you sad? Are you disappointed? I wonder how you are right now and if you are thinking about all the wonderful times you had or are you thinking about all the harsh comments you got while being in Morning Musume?  Beautiful Beautiful Zukki. let your heart be filled with the love of all your fans tomorrow. I am so sad to see you leave, eventhough I always knew one d...

Here it is.  The two day's of Hello!Project Horror. To start of Tamura Meimi, the silly queen of S/mileage and ANGERME. At this time, while I am writing this, her graduation concert started and I haven't even started to write my Graduation Special on her.  Meimi, your final moment is here. Let's go back 7 years. I was a big fan of the Anime Shugo Chara and loved everthing around it. So ofcourse I watched the musical as soon as it was uploaded on youtube. I remember thinking how amazing the girl was who played Yaya, because she fitted the role of spoiled baby so good.  I was really suprised to find her auditioning for S/mileage two years later. I actually didn't think a lot of girls would get into S/mileage (certainly not 5), so I didn't really know who to root for. I liked Meimi, yet I do not remember actually really wanting her in S/mileage. I think I was more a Sakura, Yuka and Karin kinda girl. Still I was really happy when she became a membe...

Just a few more days before Sayashi Riho will be graduating from Morning Musume.  This mean it's time for me to look back on all the wonderful times we had with her and enlighten you with some of my thoughts about her and her role in the group.  5 years ago Kamei Eri, JunJun and LinLin graduated Morning Musume. I had been a fan for about 8 months and it broke my heart. I didn't really know how H!P worked back then, so I was really suprised when auditions were held. I followed them closely and fell in love with the girls that were auditioning. I remember thinking that Tsunku would be an idiot to not let Riho (or back than the girl with the necklace) into Momusu. Riho danced so wonderful and her singing was also good! So when the news came that she got in, I was not suprised.  I actually thought Riho would become my favorite out of the new generation. I don't really know why, but I felt like her voice was cute and she just looked so young and adorable. But ...

I am late, I know. I was on my way back from a lovely holiday when I heared the news. Shimamura Uta has left H!P and Country Girls. Managament stated she terminated her contract because her family and management had a disagreement that could not be solved. I am heartbroken by this news. Absolutly devistated. Uta was one of those Idols you love from the moment you see her. She was shy, fresh and so pure. I really love the whole feel she has around her and her preformance was so adorable.  I had been supporting Yamaki Risa from the moment she joined the Kenshuusei and still Uta-chan beat her at being my favorite Country Girls member. She was pushed a lot and got lots of screentime and I loved it. She looked so good being the center of attention and her shyness about it all, made her even more adorable and inresistable. For me the balance within Country Girls was quite perfect. I mean I know Uta was pushed a lot and maybe a little bit to much, but she was my favo...
