 * May 21, 2011 - Yaguchi Mari Is Getting Married
 * According to Sports Nippon, Yaguchi Mari and her boyfriend Nakamura Masaya will be registering for marriage tomorrow. There were some rumors back in December that Yaguchi was going to get married to her boyfriend Nakamura (that she quickly dismissed saying that the plans weren’t finalized) but they made it official today, which is great news since we finally get a confirmation and we can celebrate another marriage. They will register for marriage tomorrow, May 22.


 * May 18, 2011 - Ichii Sayaka Will Be In A Movie Titled “Ashita ni Kakeru Ai”
 * Ichii Sayaka will be in a movie titled Ashita ni Kakeru Ai (Eng: Love Over Troubled Water)While the summary of the movie is given in the article I can’t understand much of it, but it seems that there are quite a lot of extras and the movie will feature a theme having to do with China and Japan since it will be set in Beijing and it will be released both in China and Japan at the same time. Even though I didn’t understand the plot of the movie I am glad to see that Ichii is appearing in more and more dramas and movies since that means we might see her in many more releases in the following months, but for now this movie seems to have an interesting theme that many people will like.

Hopefully we get a preview of some sort before the movie is released, although it seems that for now we might have to wait quite some time since the movie will be released in about a year. The movie will be released in Spring 2012.
 * May 16, 2011 - Suzuki Airi’s 7th PB Titled “OASIS”
 * The title for Suzuki Airi’s 7th PB has been revealed to be OASIS. I was surprised when I saw what the title for her new PB would be since most of the recent PBs have some kind of relation to their name or a cute title, but instead of that we get a somewhat tropical title of OASIS, which most likely means that we can expect to see plenty of bikini pictures as well as a more tropical setting. Apart from the tropical setting there doesn’t seem to be much of a hint as to what the PB will contain, but we will most likely find out how it relates once the cover for the PB and a few previews have been released. Airi has never disappointed with a PB release so I am excited to find out what kind of themes we can expect to see from the new PB as well as what kind of outfits and bikinis she will wear, so hopefully we get a chance to see a few previews in the next few weeks.For now I hope that fans have already reserved their copy of the PB so that they are among the first to receive it once it is released since it seems like this PB will be a great release. The release date is set for 6/23.


 * May 8, 2011 - Morning Musume 10th Generation Auditions Announced
 * The 10th generation auditions for Morning Musume titled Morning Musume 10ki Member ~Genki Jirushi~ Audition has been announced.The official website opened for the audition has some information about the qualifications necessary to enter the audition, and it seems that they are looking to add 2 girls from 10 to 17 years old into the group, just like the requirements for the previous audition, and the description sais something between the lines of “looking for girls with positive personalities and confidence to boost Japan’s mood”.


 * May 7, 2011 - Hangry & Angry To Appear At Japan Expo 2011 In Paris
 * Hangry & Angry will appear in this year’s Japan Expo 2011 in Paris. The news was revealed on the site of the expo. After the (so far unconfirmed) announcement about them going to Singapore at the end of July I didn’t expect to hear about them so soon since the group has been inactive for quite some time, and even though that may be the case I am glad to see that the group will go to the same event that Momusu attended last year since fans from Paris can enjoy yet another UFA group.

Her message appeared on the official Gatas site alongside a message from the team captain Yoshizawa Hitomi, and even though it is a basic farewell message about how she enjoyed being a member for seven years and how she will miss being a member it is a great message from Konno for fans to read.


 * April 4, 2011 - Nagate Ayaka Is Pregnant With Her First Child
 * Nagate Ayaka, former Coconuts Musume member, revealed on her blog that she is pregnant with her first child. The announcement seems to be somewhat calm since Ayaka begins talking about it being cherry blossom season but after the mention of her having a baby belly she seems to be very excited and looking forward to her baby, and while we barely have the announcement with almost no other information I am very glad for her.

This Wiki uses Japanese Kanji on many pages. If you see a bunch of question marks in a row on a line of text, you do not have Kanji fonts. However, most modern operating systems (Windows XP, OS X, Linux) have many languages and fonts built in, and it's just a matter of enabling them somewhere in the "Language" section of the control panel.
