Aya Matsuura ‘Egao’ : Further performances
2007-09-04 00:59:00 I haven’t been able to post much in the last few weeks because MorningMusume hasn’tbeen able to impress me for any reason. Gommennasai, to be straight forward but I will do my best to keep my posting as positive as possible, because I do understand it is not the fault of the girls. I recently found a new appearance of Aya Matsuura on Music Fair 21, please enjoy while it lasts.

2007-08-06 19:41:00 Before the post a quick update: A new single “モーニング娘。誕生10年 念隊 ~Itoshiki Tomo e” has been released which is praised by many HP fans around the world.

Eradicating the Deadly Silence… Aya Matsuura back with her “Sm
2007-07-03 17:52:00 Lately, it has been too silent from HelloProject and after so many discouraging news UFA finally decided to release a single from Aya Mats uura on August 29th, 2007. The single is called Egao and courtesy of Totally! HelloProject a performance is available on YouTube subject to its continued availability. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7mAH5EWVM Y I feel a little sad of what has previously happened in HelloProject. There was a time when I was considering HelloProject to be a small miracle between year 2003 and 2005 when HelloProject was very productive releasing the best of singles and enjoying the best of the concerts. But later too many good girls left including Yaguchi Mari, Abe Natsumi, Rika Ishikawa, Yoshizawa Hitomi, Tsuji Nozomi, Kago Ai, Konno Asami, Ogawa Makoto and now recently Fujimoto Mikitty. This is more than the half popular cast of HelloProject & Morning Musume and despite UFA is making every effort in pushing the group forward, as of now the popularity is ranki...

2007-06-03 04:36:00 It has been posted every single place and now confirmed by UFA as well, Mikitty submitted her resignation and is now submitting probably for a solo career or it might be just the end of it. According to a Youtube resource: Fujimoto Miki comments To all my fans and supporters. I, as leader of Morning Musume, have the role of a guide to the other members. I’ve violated one of the promises I made as a member of Morning Musume, and I feel a heavy responsibility. I’m very sorry for all the trouble I’ve caused with my actions. In this way, I cant continue on as leader, and I took it upon myself to resign from Morning Musume. I feel deeply apologetic towards the fans that have supported me up to now. I’m really sorry.

Silence of UFA on the incident.. (Update on Fujimoto)
2007-05-30 13:42:00 It is very interesting that UFA has been silent about the whole incident and they are trying to let the whole issue die without any concerns. The best they came up with is ‘…according to the article they are only appearing to be dating so it doesn’t concerns us.’ Hopefully the whole issue will die and nothing else in the Hello Project will happen before her graduation.

Fujimoto Miki :: aftermath effects…. quick rant.
2007-05-27 02:33:00 Fujimoto created this scandal on purpose. Most obvious reason she is now bored with Morning Musume and needs a way out of it. No one in Morning Musume is stupid enough to stay at a guys place being the most important person and go to work from there. She is the most arrogant person in Morning Musume and will do whatever pleases her. This has also been proved in one of her old psychological tests where she admits to not fully care about what other members of Morning Musume think of her. It seems to be she is not taking the whole leadership issue too seriously and is not bothered at all to care about the future of Morning Musume. Maybe the decision in promoting her as the Leader was a mistake and it completely toppled over the strategy of making Morning Musume big in her Leadership. She should be careful for at least one year as must also be discussed with her by the management of UFA; however the whole incident will also alienate her with the rest of the Morning Musume members.

Morning Musume :: Gradaution Ceremony 2008
2007-05-05 17:36:00 Good questions to bring up this week with the blog post. It has been a while since I blogged because I wanted to write something more interesting and needed time for it. Today I will go through the existing structure of Morning Musume and the possible elimination ceremony in 2008 . As we all know Yoshizawa Hitomi has been decided to graduate from the group and Fujimoto Miki will be the next leader for the Morning Musume. This is ironic as she is still very young in the group compared to five other members of Morning Musume who are more experienced performing including Eri, Risa, Reina, Takahashi and Sayumi. One possible reason she would be the leader is Fujimoto looks more elder compared to other members and has developed a personality of a very humble woman and the decision is not related anywhere with the talent, level of fun but popularity. Tsunku must be planning some very good numbers while Fujimoto is still in the group as a leader. If he is not then placing Fujimoto on top was... More About: Ceremony
30/04/2007 Goto Maki vs Fujimoto Miki
2007-04-30 17:37:00 This is strange if you consider fact that Yoshizawa Hitomi is graduating in year 2007 when she joined only 10 months after Goto Maki in Morning Musume. Also Goto Maki joined the group at the age of 13 even after Yaguchi Mari who still lasted in Morning Musume for a very long time. Why Goto Maki had to leave the group and what difficulties she received by doing so? It has been very difficult for Goto Maki to progress because the management decisions made for her were not very good. Goto Maki during her audition had shown great learning potential and was considered at that time most talented girl compared to any other Morning Musume members. But there was something missing from Goto Maki then which was present in almost all other Morning Musume members and that is level of fun which was ignored by the people managing Goto Maki. She was indulged in too many learning activities giving her almost no time to have fun with other Morning Musume members. That is important because t... More About: Fuji
21/04/2007 Koharu Kusume.. a long road ahead……
2007-04-21 21:58:00 Koharu wil have a positive life changing career that even her parents don’t know about. She would be the third girl to be pushed by producers after Aya Matsuura and Goto Maki. A new single was released yesterday named ‘Happy’ which is also posted on the Youtube and can be seen below subject to its continued availability. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q3dPTr1lQ c Hell oProject producers spend a lot of time deciding the fate of Morning Musume members and in fact the graduation of the members is usually decided many years before the actual graduation. Usually the production company wait for the most suitable moment for the graduation announcement and possibly if a request is being made by the Morning Musume member. My guess for year 2007 is the parents of Yoshizawa Hitomi had to make request to the production company for her graduation. My guess is after the unfortunate loss of Yossie’s brother parents want to keep their remaining children close despite her ... More About: Head , Long , Road , Ahead
18-04-2007 Saga of Tsunku, Goto Maki and Lida Kaori
2007-04-18 20:24:00 The legend of Tsunku continues not knowing where it is leading all Morning Musume members. More than 30 MM singles have been released till today and it is continuing to grow. After the success of bokura ga ikiru MY ASIA it seems the MM future path will lead to slow or sexy numbers in the leadership of Fujimoto Miki. Many of the successful fast numbers emerged between 2003 and 2005 and many of the new numbers are there just to keep fans mildly entertained until another good number is released. But why is many of the singles are successful for the female artists and Tsunku is not working much for his own singles. Any guesses if he would be more popular if he worked for his own album? Lets have a quick theory… Tsunku always wanted to produce music for female artists and started to relive (having a new life) through music production for Aya Matsuura and Morning Musume. Being the boss he controls the whole environment of the music and the music performances. He is immensely succ... More About: Maki , Saga
Yoshizawa Hitomi’s Last Video…
2007-04-08 22:59:00 Yesterday the last video for Yossie was posted all over internet and it seems to be pretty cool although the video lacked originality and had some lack of imagination. I mean come on I got tired of looking at the same Pinkish background in the whole video! The new 33rd Morning Musume single is called Kanashimi Twilight and a preview of the video can be seen on YouTube subject to its continued availability. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1P73OQd2ws U I am surprised from the video that the producers use all means of preparing fans for what is coming next. Much of the emphasis was put on Takahashi and Fujimoto probably because they would be taking Yossie’s place, whereas Yossie was mostly dancing in the background. It is also good to see the first video of Mitsui and she seems to be doing just fine, although its a long way for her in getting her own video. I am sure she is within the best group of girls on earth who respect each other and give enoug... More About: Video , Last , Hell , Yoshi
Tsunku: Running Low on his Morning Musume Fuel!
2007-04-06 22:20:00 Lately few more members joined Morning Musume including two Chinese girls after Mitsui who is considered a great addition and greatly appreciated by media and fans. The core values generated when Ogawa Makoto, Risa Niigaki, Takahashi Ai and Eri Kamei joined Morning Musume because they believed in each other and especially Takahashi Ai pushed the whole group forward with her talent. After graduation of Yossie (Yoshizawa Hitomi) there is a Huge Gap as not many members are left from the old Morning Musume. What is the criteria of members graduation and is time a factor in getting rid of the old members? Which member is considered successful in Morning Musume and deserve to stay longer?

Hello world!
2007-04-02 02:16:00 Hello there! My online name is “Ace McCloud” and I have known to Tsunku’s relics for just about a year now. I am a business analyst in UK living in a secret remote place not known to anyone for the past few years and will discuss the strategies played by Tsunku and UFA. It has been eight months since I have been listening to Hello Project and Morning Musume and now I completely managed to understand the nature of Japanese culture through their media within this time. One thing I learned from the events that have been taking place since the start of Morning Musume and Hello Project that it is structured to get as much money as possible by strategizing and bringing the best concepts. That includes producing music, have the best mix-up of artists for presentation and of course good choreography. What I like about Morning Musume that it is the first time in Japan where someone is forced to mature through self-development nurturing confidence and sharing experience with...
