;September 23, 2011 - Takahashi Ai To Be Appointed Ambassador For Fukui
 
:Takahashi Ai will be appointed ambassador for her hometown by the governor of Fukui. This is a very happy moment to see this since not many artists can become ambassadors for their hometowns, but Ai-chan is the perfect choice since she seems to be very proud of her birthplace and will most likely do her best to promote it around Japan. As far as what this means, it seems to be more symbolic than political although the article mentions that she might be part of more activities to promote events around the city so fans from Fukui will most likely see her more in campaigns around town. Congratulations to Ai-chan in becoming ambassador for her town! Ai-chan will be appointed an ambassador on 9/26

;September 23, 2011 - C-ute’s FIVE STARS Radio Show To End
 
:According to Nakajima Saki’s blog, C-ute’s FIVE STARS radio show will end next week. There is a possibility of the other FIVE STARS radio shows (Morning Musume and S/mileage) ending too, although it hasn’t been confirmed. For the most part I’m not that surprised to see that the radio show will end since that’s usually what happens with some of them, and while many C-ute fans might be disappointed by the end of the show there is still another C-ute show available, that being Yajima Maimi’s I MY ME show. The possibility of the FIVE STARS radio program ending for everyone is equally disappointing but I hope we get to see more radio shows for the groups appear in the future since they are great opportunities for the members to socialize while giving everyone previews of their new songs. A confirmation of the FIVE STARS radio program for all groups has been released, but for now I encourage everyone that usually tunes in to check out the final episode next week for C-ute’s program. The radio show will end on 9/27.

News in the world of H!P
September 24, 2011 - BeriKyuu- “Amazuppai Haru ni Sakurasaku” HQ Radio Rip Released
The single sounds like it was inspired from the anime Shugo Chara. There’s a lot of bell sounds present and it’s almost the same beat as some of the Shugo Chara songs and if you’ve watched the anime or listened to some of the songs I’m sure that you’ll think the same way. I can’t find any other words to explain the song except that. I’ve listened to it a few times and it doesn’t seem like there’s any solo lines which is somewhat of a relief for some because when this was announced some fans expressed concern that the “center girls” were going to overshadow everyone else and lead. It does sound though that throughout the entire song there’s a group of 4-5 girls singing but when it gets to the chorus they change it so that there are 2 girls, since you can hear their individual voices more. I have to say that I’m a bit surprised that they chose a upbeat song such as this. Berryz Koubou hasn’t had a cute, happy song like this in awhile and C-ute’s latest songs are similar but since most of them have grown up since they first joined, so I was expecting something a bit more mature. Also since this song will be incorporated in the Ousama Game movie I was expecting a more dark and mature since it would’ve matched the movie. Regardless of that though I do feel that Berryz Koubou and C-ute together is like a dream team so I highly encourage everyone to listen to the song a few times before making their judgement. Hopefully a cover of the single is released soon and I hope everyone who likes the song will pre-order a copy. The release date will be on 11/9.
September 24, 2011 - Fukuda Asuka In A Band Called PEACE$TONE
For 1st Generation Morning Musume Member Fukuda Asuka, it’s been awhile since she has made any public appearance so for anyone who doesn’t remember, she was one of the 1st gen members of Morning Musume and also the first to graduate from the group. Since her graduation she was said to be working at her family bar and other than that she didn’t participate in anything else in the entertainment world so hearing that she’s in a band now is a bit of a surprise. PEACE$tone will be releasing their first album titled “Double Fantasy” in November and from fan forums they say that the music style ranges from acoustic, Jack Johnson, and the Beatles. This type of music and it looks as though they’re trying to attract older fans.
September 23, 2011 - Takahashi Ai To Be Appointed Ambassador For Fukui
Takahashi Ai will be appointed ambassador for her hometown by the governor of Fukui. This is a very happy moment to see this since not many artists can become ambassadors for their hometowns, but Ai-chan is the perfect choice since she seems to be very proud of her birthplace and will most likely do her best to promote it around Japan. As far as what this means, it seems to be more symbolic than political although the article mentions that she might be part of more activities to promote events around the city so fans from Fukui will most likely see her more in campaigns around town. Congratulations to Ai-chan in becoming ambassador for her town! Ai-chan will be appointed an ambassador on 9/26
September 23, 2011 - C-ute’s FIVE STARS Radio Show To End
According to Nakajima Saki’s blog, C-ute’s FIVE STARS radio show will end next week. There is a possibility of the other FIVE STARS radio shows (Morning Musume and S/mileage) ending too, although it hasn’t been confirmed. For the most part I’m not that surprised to see that the radio show will end since that’s usually what happens with some of them, and while many C-ute fans might be disappointed by the end of the show there is still another C-ute show available, that being Yajima Maimi’s I MY ME show.

A confirmation of the FIVE STARS radio program for all groups has been released, but for now I encourage everyone that usually tunes in to check out the final episode next week for C-ute’s program. The radio show will end on 9/27.
September 22, 2011 - Morning Musume’s 48th Single Announced
Morning Musume’s 48th single, currently untitled, has been announced. H!P and UFA have verified this, but like the Pucchi Best album this release was expected and it was just a matter of time until we saw it being announced.So far only the date of release has been announced and other than that, there is'nt much else since the title hasn’t been announced yet, but like everyone already knows this will be the first single with Gaki as leader and with the 10th generation so it will most likely be a very anticipated release for everyone since we don’t know what kind of sound it might have, and since this is the first single in 10 years to not have an Ai-chan vocal it will be a large change for the group. The 10th generation hav'nt been confirmed yet to be on the single, but it’s almost guaranteed that they will be in it since they will be presented in about a week at Budokan, meaning that there is about 3 months for them to get used to the group. I’m really looking forward to this release since I have no idea what to expect from this new Momusu, and while the lack of Ai-chan will be very notable it will be interesting to see what kind of direction the group goes from here onward. Hopefully we get a confirmation of the date as well as a title soon since this will most likely be the most awaited single for Momusu in quite some time. The release date is set for 12/21.
September 22, 2011 - Hello! Project Mobekimasu – “Busu ni Naranai Tetsugaku” Preview cover Released
H!P 1

Hello! Project Mobekimasu – “Busu ni Naranai Tetsugaku” LQ Cover Preview Released

A preview of one of the limited edition covers for Hello! Project Mobekimasu’s upcoming single titled Busu ni Naranai Tetsugaku has been released. Since we don’t know yet which limited edition this cover is for, we’ll still have to wait until H!P’s official site puts the LQ covers or until amazon has large covers, but thanks to this preview we can at least set ourselves in what the covers will look like, and this cover specially seems to give us a hint at the main members of the single. The cover features all of the Mobekimasu members (excluding Ai-chan and including the sub-members of S/mileage) wearing the the jacket outfits for the single, and they are all positionned in bigger or smaller frames probably according to how important they are in the single, which got me wondering if the ones in the big frames were the main members, which should be the best explanation since Risako and Airi are standing back-to-back sharing a big square as well as Miyabi and Risa underneath, and the other main big pictures feature Reina, Maimi, Mano, Yuuka and Riho, which would fit to my theory since they are all very popular members and are the ones who usually get many lines. Apart from the arrangement of the pictures, it is quite sad to see how lifeless the cover looks since the pictures seem to have been added randomly and in a somewhat messy way, and without any flashing title or cool background, It is a little plain, but since this is only one of the covers from the many editions, we are hoping the other ones will look a little better. Overall, it is excited to finding out how the other covers look like (which will hopefully feature the other members better). Hopefully we can get to see the other covers soon so that fans can pick their favorite edition and connect it to it’s cover. The release date is set for 11/16.
September 22, 2011 - Hello! Project “Pucchi Best 12″ Announced
The 12th edition of Hello! Project’s annual compilation album titled Pucchi Best 12 has been announced. A DVD is expected to be released as well. Like most announcements with only an image as a source it hasn’t been verified by H!P or UFA yet, but this is most likely accurate since there has been a Pucchi Best release each year for a long time, meaning that the only thing that we didn’t know is the exact content of the album and the release date. Thankfully we have a preview at what we can expect to see as well as a title for the release, and I’m glad to see that there is so much content since it gives fans a chance to own a song from each group in an album, and while it might not be the same as a single or a group album it’s still the next best thing since it’s a taste at the many amazing releases that H!P has had in the past year. It seems that most of the releases will be focused on their latest singles, except for Momusu which will feature Maji Desu ka Ska! instead of their 47th single (most likely because it would be too much Momusu content), which is a bit disappointing since every other group will have their latest release in the album, including Mobekimasu, Berikyuu, Ai-chan, Buono, and S/mileage. We haven’t seen the full tracklist so it’s hard to tell how this release will look like, so I’ll wait for a confirmation with an official tracklist before getting excited, but for anyone else who is already looking forward to this I encourage you to reserve your copy as soon as it’s available. The release date is set for 12/21.
September 22, 2011 - Kusumi Koharu Now Part of Illume Models
Koharu has accomplished already since her graduation message mentioned that she wanted to try modeling and after a few years it seems that she has reached her goal by joining Illume models, which is great news for everyone since it will most likely make future appearances in magazines and events more likely. As for her CanCam appearance, I somewhat expected to see her appear once again since she seems to fit perfectly, and I’m happy to see that she did get another chance to appear in the magazine since it’s a large step in her modeling career as well as a great sign that she has a bright future ahead.Hopefully anyone who can will get a copy of the CanCam November issue since the images are really impressive, but meanwhile congratulations to Koha on joining a model agency!
September 15, 2011 - S/mileage’s 9/18 Concert To Be Streamed Live On YouTube
S/mileage’s official YouTube channel has announced that S/mileage’s 9/18 evening concert for their 2011 Fall Concert Tour ~Gakushuu no Chou Mini Skirt~ will be streamed live on YouTube.The concert will be streamed live on YouTube on 9/18 at 6PM JST.
September 12, 2011 - Fujimoto Miki Is Pregnant
Fujimoto Miki has announced on her blog that she is pregnant.The news was first revealed on Nikkan where it was then confirmed by Miki herself, along with a comment regarding her absence in the autumn Dream Morning Musume tour due to the pregnancy.It seems that Miki found out just recently that she was pregnant, so it’s great to see that she has confirmed the news since it gives everyone a chance to congratulate the couple for their soon to be new family member, and while it might be a bit too early for any details I hope we soon get to find out if it will be a boy or a girl, and with luck the name they chose for their baby.With most UFA related pregnancies there aren’t usually many details apart from “It’s a boy/girl” and “He/She’s born” between now and when the baby is born, but I hope Miki keeps us up to date with the details, but like always being pregnant is a moment of celebration so congratulations both to Mikkity and her husband for the pregnancy!
September 09, 2011 - Kosuga Fuyuka To Leave S/mileage, Diagnosed With “Severe Anemia”
It has been announced on S/mileage’s official site that current S/mileage sub-member Kosuga Fuyuka will be leaving S/mileage due to severe anemia, and will later on join Hello! Project Eggs after her long recovery.According to the S/mileage site announcement, Fuu-chan has been feeling bad and was immediately transferred to the hospital because of her terrible condition, and later on diagnosed with “sever anemia” which seems to be when the body doesn’t produce enough red blood cells that provide oxygen, which causes dizziness, breathing troubles,etc…This seems like a really bad timing for S/mileage and Fuu-chan specially since S/mileage will now only continue with 7 members while their next single includes 8, and it seems like the upcoming concert tour will have to undergo some changes because of Fuu-chan’s loss, but what consoles me is that she has an assured place within H!P Eggs for when she fully heals which is a great relief for her fans since it is assured that she will keep on being active.Even though she is set to rest for a few month, I really wish Fuyuka and S/mileage a good continuation because thanks to all of the sudden changes the group has experienced, it surely isn’t easy for the members, so hopefully everyone can keep on supporting S/mileage as well as Fuu-chan for her return in a few month as a H!P Egg.Hopefully we will have more information as time goes by concerning her health condition, and we wish her a quick recovery.
September 01,2011 - Official “Tsunku Project” Site Opened
A site featuring info about many of Tsunku’s projects titled Tsunku Project has been opened.For the most part the site is a pretty interesting addition since it has info about many things that are related to him, such as info about the movie he will be directing, his Rhythm Tengoku games, links to blogs of many UFA members, his Twitter, his blog, as well as episodes of his show Tsuntube, and it’s simply a great way to find info about Tsunku and his activities.
August 26, 2011 - Morning Musume’s 5th Generation celebrate their 10th anniversary!
On this day, 10 years ago, four lucky girls passed the Morning Musume 5th Generation audition, “Love Audition 21”. They brought the group’s roster up to 13 members and had their debut with the hit song “Mr. Moonlight ~Ai no Big Band~”. Those members were Takahashi Ai, Konno Asami, Ogawa Makoto, and Niigaki Risa. 10 years later, the members still show love for one another. Niigaki Risa blogged, “It’s amazing that it has been 10 years. Konkon (Konno Asami) and Makochii (Ogawa Makoto) have been working hard by themselves, and Ai-chan and I have been doing activities in Morning Musume for 10 whole years”. Fans have been sending messages congratulating them on their 10th year and 9th generation member Ikuta Erina sent Niigaki a message at 12am sharp saying, “Congratulations on your 10th anniversary!”, which made Niigaki extremely happy. Niigaki wrote, “Ai-chan is preparing to graduate soon. In the beginning the four of us were together, but now each of us is doing our best on our own paths. Indeed, the 5th Generation is special, even though we aren’t doing activities together, we still feel connected. I thought once again, ‘I’m glad to be a member of this generation’. The three of you, thank you so much for always supporting me ( ´ー`) You’ve helped me more than you can imagine ☆ Let’s forever continue looking after one another in the future ☆ I love you guuuys (人>U<)♪. I want the four of us to have a 10th anniversary party soon.” Lastly, Niigaki left a special message for Takahashi who is graduating shortly, “Ai-chan. Let’s do our best together with the time we have left!!!”. In addition to her post, Niigaki also uploaded some goofy pictures of the 5th generation minus Konno Asami.
August 25, 2011 - Is Former Morning Musume member Konno Asami in a relationship?
It appears that former Morning Musume member and current TV Tokyo announcer Konno Asami is in a relationship. According to “FRIDAY”, her companion is named Matsumoto Takanori (25) and is part of a consulting firm. Konno and Matsumoto are said to have had a junior-senior relationship in the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies at Keio University and it seems that the two are currently living together in Tokyo. “FRIDAY” snapped pictures of the two leaving Konno’s apartment and walking closely together as well as gently embracing each other at the subway station. The couple was also seen eating together at a buffet restaurant and heading back home to the “love nest” thereafter. When Sankei Sports contacted TV Tokyo’s PR department for a comment they said, “Since this is a personal matter, we, as a station, cannot comment.”
August 25, 2011 - Sayashi Riho and Mitsui Aika’s Injuries
According to a recent announcement by the official H!P site, Sayashi Riho is cleared and will be back in time for her PB event this week, she will also be able to participate in the Morning Musume Fall 2011 concert tour as well as the stage play.Mitsui Aika unfortunately didn’t get cleared and still has a few more weeks of rest left from the advised 8 weeks, so she will be limited with her performances in the upcoming Morning Musume concert tour and stage play.Mitsui’s injury seems a bit slower in healing (most likely because it’s a bit more severe than Riho’s injury) but there is still time for her to heal since she still has a few more weeks of advised rest, and while we don’t know for sure how limited she will be at the concerts or how well the injury is healing I am still a bit glad to see that she will be able to attend the concert tour and won’t have to miss out on any days, just a few performances where she will probably have to sit down and sing.
August 23, 2011 - Ogawa Saki To Graduate From Hello! Project and S/mileage
According to an announcement from the S/mileage site, Ogawa Saki will graduate from Hello! Project and S/mileage. Here’s a translation of the post by Takamaruyo: This is an important announcement concerning S/mileage. Thanks for always supporting S/mileage. We have an important announcement about S/mileage’s Ogawa Saki. Following the Uchouten LOVE Live Event on August 27th at Higashi Betsuin Hall in Nagoya, Ogawa Saki will be graduating from S/mileage and Hello! Project. Comment from Tsunku Thank you gratefully for your continual support of Hello! Project and myself. Let’s get right to the announcement I want to tell you. From S/mileage, who has recently gain 5 sub-members, Ogawa Saki will be graduating from S/mileage and subsequently from Hello! Project. Early in May this year “Earlier, I have been contemplated and consolidated with staffs, about returning to being a normal middle school student. I feel very strongly about this, please let me quit.” She has made this request. Even being the youngest in the group, I have entrusted her with her singing skills. However, now, from here on and out, as a group and each member individually, their strong desires to improve persist. Even as a producer, it’s not in the best interest of the group and members to continue to force a member in doubt to endure more group activities, therefore Ogawa’s request has been accepted. It was officially announced at first that this unit’s member might increase or decrease, it was due this is reason that an urgent S/mileage member audition was held in June this year. Due to various conditions of the group, herself and other parties involved, as well as terms and conditions on contract, it was not until today that this information and her will can be reported, please accept my apologizes. Also, she is still an immature student. A working adult would understand that abandoning work half way is an inexcusable act, but please consider her straight and strong feelings, and watch over her with your warm and love. Therefore, all fans, please take care of S/mileage which is still in its infant stage. For this hasty written letter as a report, please excuse me 2011/08/24 S/mileage Producer Tsunku Comment from Ogawa Saki Thank you for always supporting me. As of August 27th 2011 I, Ogawa Saki, will graduate from S/mileage as well as Hello! Project. Since our major debut last year in May, I have enjoyed every single day as part of S/mileage. However, somewhere down in my heart, I felt there was a gap between myself and the S/mileage me. I have talked it over with the staff many times and have been constantly worrying about it, and with everyone working their hardest to move forward and myself still uncertain of things, I decided that it was not in the best interest of S/mileage and I will return to being just a normal girl. I apologize for the last minute announcement. While there may be feelings of sadness, S/mileage will always be a group with it’s trademark smile! I’ll be working my hardest to end with a smile until my last event on 8/27, I know there isn’t a lot of time left but I hope you can support me! The new members will power up S/mileage after I graduate so I hope you’ll continue to support them. Thank you very much for all your support up til now. 2011/08/24 S/mileage Ogawa Saki

August 12, 2011 - Jun Jun To Appear In a Movie Titled “Love in a second”
According to Jun Jun’s weibo account, she will be part of the cast for a movie drama titled Love in a second (or in Chinese Ai yi Miao). She will play a school girl. Not many details have been released about this movie but it seems like this will be a somewhat simple movie where Jun Jun will play a small role, although it’s still a role and a good sign that she is still active in the entertainment industry which is great news for all Jun Jun fans.
August 12, 2011 - Lin Lin and Saho Akari Will Form a Special Unit For A Mini-live

August 12, 2011 - Mano Erina Invited To Tokyo Idol Festival 2011
Mano Erina is among the many idols invited to perform at this year’s Tokyo Idol Festival 2011 Eco & Smile. The event will feature a total of 45 performers including TNX’s THE Possible. The title is a perfect description for what fans can expect to see since there will be a lot of groups performing at this event, but fans who regularly watch Tsunku’s Youtube show Tsuntube will probably be familiar with some of them, such as The Possible and Afilia Saga East so it will be interesting to see how these different groups compare to one another.
August 10, 2011 - Is Abe Natsumi dating Yamazaki Ikusaburo?
On the August 11th issue of tabloid magazine “Josei Seven“, it was reported that former Morning Musume member Abe Natsumi (30) was seen interacting very intimately with musical actor Yamazaki Ikusaburo (25). Abe and Yamazaki co-starred in the musical, “Arashi Ga Oka“, which wrapped up on July 24th. According to the magazine, the two attended a get-together at a hotel on the 23rd, and were seen kissing five times within ten minutes. Abe’s agency stated, “No comment,” to a Sankei Sports query.
July 29, 2011 - Mitsui Aika and Sayashi Riho Have Been Advised To Rest For A Few Weeks
According to the official H!P site, after her checkup Mitsui Aika has been advised by doctors to rest for 8 weeks. Sayashi Riho was also told to rest 6 weeks due to ischium nerve pain on her right side.They will both miss the rest of the Hello! Project 2011 Summer tour.As always injuries are one of the main concerns for fans and while both Mitsui and Riho will miss the rest of the tour it’s good to see that they will follow the doctors orders and rest to heal their injuries since their health is the top priority.Mitsui’s left ankle bone fracture seems to need a bit more rest before healing, and while she did appear at events and concerts and sat down during the performances it seems that it’s for the best for her to miss the the remainder of the H!P tour to make sure her injury heals well.Riho’s injuries are a bit more sever than I thought since I had the idea that she had only suffered a minor sprain, but it seems that she has ischium nerve pain, which according to Wikipedia is a fairly common lower hip bone injury caused by sudden movements during some sports although in this case it was due to the many hours of dancing that members need to due during performances.Despite the reason for the injury, I wish both Mitsui and Riho a complete and fast recovery and hopefully after the 6 and 8 weeks they are both well healed and in perfect shape to perform once again.
July 20, 2011 - Saho Akari and Satou Ayano To Appear In a TV Drama
According to a blog entry on the UP UP GIRLS blog, Saho Akari and Satou Ayano will appear in a drama titled Yuusha Yoshihiko to Maou no Shiro on TV Tokyo.A set date for their appearance hasn’t been released so we don’t have a clear idea when they might be on but it will most likely be in the next few weeks or sometime soon since the announcement was done about a week ago.The drama seems to center around comedy with a focus on a more historical theme, although from what I can tell Saho and Satou won’t have that big of a part since the drama already started a few weeks ago, but they may be the main characters in their episode so we’ll have to wait to find out.Despite not having that much info about their appearance we should find out soon what kind of role they had so hopefully we get to see a clip or two once the episode airs.The drama airs every Friday at midnight (24:00 JST).
