Funny how for me, on average, the longer a girl has been in MM,the less of an impression they made.

Ishikawa Rika gave birth to a second baby boy recently https://www.tokyohive.com/article/2020/01/ishikawa-rika-announces-the-birth-of-her-second-child

What. They can actually sing. I really enjoy Kitagawa's voice. I can see this girl being pushed as a front girl big time.

Sayu without bangs and with red lipstick is on a whole other level. Most of that please. She looks fantastic.

Mind is blown.  Can't wait to hear the tracks... had to check when this was canceled.   2006? Goodness!! 

[quote="honey"] is that... a pantsuit dress?! I love it lol. I also love that hair color on her, I wish she colored it sooner tbh, it really makes her glow. I wasn’t particularly a fan of her but her beauty and her knack for variety are undeniable and I really hope she finds continued succ...

TokyoHive has a good article that translate's Hitomi's statement for a non-Japanese speaker, such as myself lol ----------------------------------------------   http://www.tokyohive.com/article/2018/09/yoshizawa-hitomi-to-retire-from-showbiz    The fax included a statement from Yoshizawa, saying, &q...

I can't believe that nobody was killed after she just plowed into them like that.... oh my god...............
 
(I also noticed the lack of help from the people too!)

Arama! Japan is reporting that Hitomi lied to the police about her initial alcohol consumption (no surprise there) but also that her mother-in-law attempted suicide and was rushed to the hospital when press tried to interview her about the incident!   http://aramajapan.com/news/hitomi-yoshizawa-lied...

Lol I hope you all are happy now, the amount of posts about Iikubo graduating feels like it's dragged on for YEARS.
 
Had to look at the age of the try-hard, fail-hard Ikuta, but seems like she'll be hanging out in MM for at least another 4 years. ;<

^ Lol.... so basically we got the worst of the worst combined into one?  

Tsuji is pregnant with her 4th child..... due in December.
 
Girl just doesn't quit lol

Wow.  This is the complete OPPOSITE of what I expected.  After seeing the last couple of episodes, I figured they would ALL get in.  I'd rather have that than this nonsense!!

Yayyyyy auditions, love seeing footage of them.  They all blended together for me except for Momoko and Yuriya, so I say let those two in at least.  Usually not a fan of 10 year olds, but I found Yuriya interesting.  She seemed serious af (though it seemed to be just nerves) and she has a deep voice...

Please can someone translate or summarize the article about Konno? Cannot read between the lines when I can't even read the lines themselves :D thankssss

[quote="Mizura"]
I suppose one advantage of their being no finalists is that no bad members got added this time.

Kind of sad, but, I am glad nobody was selected because of this reason.

Awww, why couldn't it be Erina first?

Nothing new to add to the conversation other than everyone who photoshopped Ruru is awesome XD 

There is no way Ruru will get into Morning Musume with a busted face like that.  I understand that a lot of people think Sakura is ugly (I'm not one of them), but if they are harsh with Sakura's looks, I can't even IMAGINE what they'd say about Ruru (or are already saying about her).  Girl has a gre...

My jaw dropped when I found out about this news.  I thought for sure that the first girl to go would be Kanon.  Or if not her, then Haruna (Iikubo) or Erina.  Even more surprising is that she's gone in TWO MONTHS.  To study English/dancing?  I wonder if an amazing opportunity opened up for her elsew...

Can't stop listening to this song.  Whyyyyyyyyy.  And wow, does she look like Tsunku.  Shoot, who needs to see her whole face? Just looks at her mouth while she sings during the profile shots.  It's identical to Tsunku's.  Cute voice and very impressive that she sings/speaks nearly flawless English!

^ I LOVE YOU KONNO D;

Cool, I totally didn't read what you were supposed to do for the poll.  LOL  I voted Kanon because I thought that's who Tsunku would pick.   Well... if I had it my way:   1. Sayashi Riho - The usual gets too many lines, too much in your face here I am moments in videos, etc.  I get that she's a good...

Miki is four months pregnant with her second child <3 She updated her blog with the news.

So. I hear that essentially this entire concert was lipsynched, and that most of Perfume's concerts are lipsynched because of the vocoder effects or whatever.  Any thoughts?

I was at the concert too, sooooooo much fun!!  It was so much fun jumping up and down during the songs, hah.  I love Party Maker and being there while it was performed live was amazing *_*  Amazing energy.
