 * February 23, 2012 - Ishiguro Aya & Tsuji Nozomi to make guest appearance at Dream Morning Musume’s last live20120223_ishiguro_tsuji.jpg
 * It’s been announced that former Morning Musume members Ishiguro Aya (33) and Tsuji Nozomi (24) will be making a guest appearance in Dream Morning Musume’s last live! Dream Morning Musume was created temporarily in January of last year, and consists of 10 former members of Morning Musume. The group will hold their last concert at Nippon Budokan on March 10th. This will be Ishiguro’s first concert since graduating from Morning Musume over 12 years ago. Meanwhile, Tsuji last took the stage 3 years ago for Hello! Project’s Yokohama concert. Hello! Project producer Tsunku offered Ishiguro to participate after she had requested to view the live from the audience. From there, Tsunku also called out to Tsuji, which became the deciding factor of their appearances. Although details regarding their appearances have not been revealed, Ishiguro commented, “I want to enjoy every minute that I can spend with everyone.” Tsuji also stated, “I want to prepare myself from now.”


 * Febryary 19, 2012 - Yoshizawa Hitomi And Ishikawa Rika To Sing Opening Theme For “Sengoku Collection” AnimeAnime.jpg
 * Yoshizawa Hitomi and Ishikawa Rika will sing the OP theme for the tentatively titled Sengoku Collection anime. According to the information Yossie and Rika will sing the OP theme and Sweety will sing the ED. The anime itself is based on a social networking game, but here is some info about the anime from ANN:
 * The story is set in the tumultuous Sengoku Era of historical Japan, when military masters circle the figurative throne of Japan’s first shogunate. In the game, “God of War Cards” have been sealed in six hidden treasures, and fighting breaks out among those who seek the treasures.
 * As a new military master, the player embarks on a journey to obtain the treasures by clearing quests and fighting bosses. It will be interesting to see just how the OP theme sounds since Rika and Yossie singing outside of HANGRY&ANGRY is something we haven’t seen in a while. The anime will start on 4/5.


 * February 17, 2012 - Niigaki Risa Official Ameblo Blog Risaaa.jpg
 * Today Niigaki Risa opend a new ameblo blog. Since several of members already have an ameblo blog, it's good to see that Risa has one now. It's great for her fans to finally be able to enjoy reading her new blog on Ameblo.


 * February 08, 2012 - Michishige Sayumi x Sanrio Collaboration Announced Sayubunny.jpg
 * Michishige Sayumi has made a bunny character called Sayu-usa which will be collaborating with Sanrio’s character Cinnamonroll.
 * On Valentines Day there will be a launch event at Hello Kitty’s Kawaii Paradise stage in Odaiba. There will be collaboration goods for sale, and the first 20 to purchase the goods set will get a handshake ticket to see Sayumi.
 * There will be various goods for sale. Collaborations between H!P members and some other company are somewhat rare nowadays. Sayu’s overly cute personality and her trademark Usa-chan peace are perfect for many fans who prefer cute things, so I’m not surprised at all that Sanrio has chosen her since it seems like a natural partnership between the two. From what I can tell the event will be done in honor of Cinnamonroll’s 10th anniversary. Hopefully fans in the area can check out the event since it’s a very cute way of celebrating Valentines Day! The event will take place on 2/14.


 * February 07, 2012 - Niigaki Risa announces FC Bus TourImg20120205115201241.jpg
 * Niigaki Risa announced on her blog that she will have an FC bus tour.Details such as the location, the official title, and prices haven’t been revealed. It was just a matter of time until we heard of a special solo event for Gaki since H!P members usually get one last solo event before their graduation. That’s why I’m really happy to see that she will have one about a month before her graduation since fans will be able to attend and show their support.The announcement was done on Gaki’s blog along with a message that more details will be released soon, but it’s something everyone can look forward too since there are many pictures shortly after the event. Since this is her last event I encourage everyone who can to attend it since it’s a pretty unique opportunity to enjoy a bus tour with Gaki.The tour will take place on 4/21 ~ 4/22


 * February 03, 2012 - Morning Musume Stopwatch App Release For Android & IOSMM-Stopwatch-App.jpg
 * According to the staff twitter, a new Morning Musume stopwatch app for Android & IOS has been released.
 * Here is the app description:
 * Stopwatch Application, which includes photos & voices of “Morning Musume” ( Japanese famous idol) on its timeline. Let’s find and complete them measuring time. For example, try to stop 0:00:03:0 or 0:01:00:0. 0 millisecond is important. If the time is a jackpot, you’ll get pics (and voice, sometimes). If you fail to stop on 0 millisecond, the meter will be turn red, gradually. When the meter turns red completely, you are forced to be back to 0:00:00:0. Though there is no pics or voice, if you succeed to stop on 0 millisecond,the meter will recover, slightly. Sometimes, you will get warp hole, that leads you at a specific prior time. Finishing this app with measuring time, when you run this app again, you can continue measuring time added time since you quit before. So you are free from fear of the loss of battery.


 * January 28, 2012 - S/mileage Starring In A New Movie “Kaidan Shin Mimibukuro ・Igyou”Smileage-kaidan-shin-mimibukuro-igyou-1-300x199.jpg
 * S/mileage will be starring in a new horror movie titled “Kaidan Shin Mimibukuro ・Igyou” Most of the movies that the H!P members are featured in is horror genre. S/mileage just got the chance to be featured in a movie as the stars. The last movie they were in, they made a small cameo as themselves and this time around I think they’re the main characters. The movie will be released in theater in summer. Even though that’s still awhile away, we were able to get a screen cap of Dawa from part of the movie as well as a shot of the entire group. Hopefully more will be released soon and until then please keep supporting S/mileage anyway you can!


 * January 26, 2012 - Satoda Mai Is Married!Satoda-Mai-9283-300x225.png
 * It was just announced that Satoda Mai is now married! There is not much is known about her new husband except that he’s a baseball player and that his name is Masahiro Tanaka. Regardless of that I wish the both of the much happiness.


 * January 21, 2012 - Yajima Maimi’s 1st Casual Dinner Show Announced:According to the H!P FC site, Yajima Maimi will have her 1st Casual Dinner Show event in March. With a 20th birthday we usually get the announcement of a casual dinner event, since it usually relates to the age a member becomes an adult in Maimicutest.jpg, and it’s great to see that Maimi will be getting a chance to have one since it will give everyone a chance to enjoy her singing as well as a nice dinner. The prices for the tickets are somewhat costly since it includes the cost of dinner (around $180~194 US dollars) but I encourage those who can attend to do so since it’s a really nice event for fans to enjoy alongside their favorite idol. Captain had one back in November and she performed numerous songs, from Berryz, as well as other artists, so it’s safe to say that we can expect to hear Maimi cover at least one song from another group/artist. Maimi’s birthday is in February, but the event’s won’t take place until March, so there will be plenty of time until the event is planned to start, so I hope that everyone who is interested in going and can get a ticket attends since it’s a perfect event for Maimi fans. The dates are set for 3/17 at La Donna (14:00 and 18:30) and 3/20 at Flamingo the Arusha (14:00 and 18:00).
 * January 18, 2012 - Niigaki Risa’s Graduation Concert Will Be At Nippon BudokanNiigaki.jpg
 * According to a tweet, Morning Musume’s Concert Tour 2012 Spring ~Ultra Smart~ Niigaki Risa Graduation Special will be held at Nippon Budokan. The source of the information is apparently the H!P FC executive newsletter. Gaki is now the member with the longest time in Momusu and H!P, so I think graduating at the Budokan is the least they can do since after all she was planning on graduating with Ai-chan a few months ago in the same place. If this is confirmed then that means that Momusu will have performed twice in the Budokan before her graduation (once at Dream Momusu’s concert in March), which is great news to hear. Hopefully this is confirmed soon by H!P since so far we only have a tweet from a trusted fan, but we should see some kind of message appear soon since it seems like the most likely event. The concert will take place on 5/18 at 18:00.


 * January 12, 2012 - Mitsui Aika’s Ameba Blog Is Officially Open, Titled “aika”
 * According to reports from her FC event, Mitsui Aika will now have a new Ameba blog open to the public titled aika. As many might already know, Aika had an FC blog titled Aika no Pastel Color Days which was only open for fans in the fan club. It has been some time since the blog opened and for the most part Aika hasn’t posted that often in it, until today where it was announced that she will indeed have a new blog open for everyone to enjoy. It’s great news to hear that she will have a public blog since fans everywhere can be up to date about her daily life, and it comes with great timing since Mitsui seems 100% ready to dance and perform at concerts and events. For now there are no posts in the blog, but she will probably start to post soon, as indicated by her recent FC blog post mentioning rehearsals for her next FC event.


 * January 02, 2012 - Niigaki Risa To Graduate From Morning Musume and Hello! ProjectRisachan.jpg
 * Today at Hello! Project concert, Niigaki Risa has just announced that she will graduate from Morning Musume and Helllo! Project at the end of Morning Musume’s Spring Concert Tour 2012. According to fan reports her graduation was originally scheduled to be alongside Ai-chan’s, but due to the new members coming into the group it was postponed. Sayumi will apparently be the Momusu leader (Reina will be sub-leader) with Shimizu Saki being the Hello! Project leader, which is a somewhat unusual way of splitting the power to two people. Gaki is also apparently going to focus on acting when she graduates, so it’s nice to see that she will still continue to be in the entertainment business.Morning Musume will have a very noticeable absence of energy once she graduates. It will be hard to make up for that large amount of energy that she had during concerts, but I’m confident that the newer members as well as Sayu, Reina, and Mitsui will be able to carry the group just fine after she leaves. Niigaki Risa will graduate from Morning Musume and Hello! Project at the end of the Spring Momusu concert tour.


 * December 27, 2011 - C-ute & Morning Musume 9th Gen On J-MeloC-ute_and_9th_gen.jpg
 * C-ute and Morning Musume’s 9th gen will be featured on J-Melo. From the looks of the website there’s two NHK stations, one called NHK World and the other is NHK. Both list C-ute and Kyuukies under J-melo and I guessing the difference between the two stations is one is exclusive for Japan while the other is world wide. There’s a lot of other artists listed under J-melo so the segment for C-ute and the Kyuukies will most likely be very short but regardless of that I’m happy that they get the chance to appear on the show because it will expose them to fans around the world and also for existing fans like us we get to see it when it airs instead of waiting for a clip on the internet. The program is in English with subtitles. The show will air on NHK World on 1/9 and then on NHK on 1/15.


 * December 27, 2011 - C-ute’s End Of The Year Party Streaming On “Hagiwara Mai desu ga… Nani ka??”
 * C-ute will be having a end of the year party which will be streamed on Hagiwara Mai desu ga… Nani ka?? Maimi made the announcement on her blog and says that last year Airi couldn’t make it since she had some Buono! related work. However this year all members will be present so everyone is excited for the event. I don’t remember hearing or seeing anything about their party last year and it’s probably because it wasn’t streamed like this year’s one. Anyways I’m glad that they’re streaming this since they’re putting technology to good work and since it’s a party we’ll most likely see a lot of funny things going on. Maimi also says this will be her last appearance for the 2011 year and it’s probably the same for the other members as well since the New Year is coming up fast, so I hope everyone can check out the show! The stream will be on 12/29 at 3pm JST.


 * December 26, 2011 - Morning Musume 9th & 10th Gen Online Talk Show AnnouncedMM-9th-10th-gen-1938.png
 * Morning Musume’s 9th and 10th gen members will be starting an online talk show for FC members. First it’s great news that the Kyuukies and Juukies will be able getting a talk show since we can see their true personalities, especially in the case of the Juukies. Also since it’s online there’s a few advantages to that, FC members from all over the world can check it out and seeing as it’s already online, I’m sure someone will be kind enough to share screencaps/clips of the talk show with other non-FC members. I’m glad that they got the opportunity to do this talk show but lately it feels like Morning Musume is two separate groups now that they get this online talk show. The promotional outfits for their next single, the cover for Hello!Channel 7 and now the talk show seems to divide the groups into senior/junior and it just feels like the group isn’t one anymore. The talk show will start on 1/12.


 * December 22, 2011 - Tsuji Nozomi congratulates Kago Ai’s marriage & pregnancyTsuji1.jpg
 * Tsuji Nozomi updated her blog with an entry blessing her friend Kago Ai on her marriage and pregnancy. Tsuji was notified of Kago’s marriage in the morning and wrote, “Aibon (Kago), who is a good friend and a partner of mine, will be a housewife and a mama like me…I am truly happy for her. Really happy,” she commented, blessing Kago on this occasion. Tsuji, who married actor Sugiura Taiyo in 2007 and became a mother of two children, shared some advice on pregnancy with Kago. “I am sure that right now is an important time for her, so I hope you do your best to take care of your body and be careful not push yourself too hard,” she said. “Aibon, Really and truly, congratulations.”
