Sakura becomes the 5th member to join who was born after MM formed.



The age gap in current MM remains at Sayumi to Haruka at 10 years, 3 months, 14 days.

The age gap for all MM remains at Yuko to Haruka at 26 years, 4 months, 8 days.



The average age of the group dropped from post Zukki birthday of 16.000 to 15.727.  Counting the average age after a generation joins or a graduation (but not birthdays), this is the new 2nd lowest average age.



The new 11 member lineup becomes the 31st lineup.  The previous 10 member lineup (Niigaki Risa and Mitsui Aika graduation to 11th Generation) with 2 singles ends at 3 months, 27 days, which puts them at 16th on the list, below the 7 member lineup from Asuka's graduation to 3rd Generation at 4 months, 3 days, and above the 12 member lineup from Maki's graduation to 6th Generation at 3 months, 26 days.



Number of other members each member has been in Morning Musume with:





1. Takahashi Ai, Niigaki Risa, Michishige Sayumi and Tanaka Reina each have been in MM with 28 other members 


5. Yoshizawa Hitomi has been in MM with 22 other members


6. Iida Kaori, Abe Natsumi, Yasuda Kei and Yaguchi Mari each have been in MM with 20 other members


10. Ishikawa Rika, Fujimoto Miki and Kamei Eri each have been in MM with 19 other members


13. Tsuji Nozomi, Kago Ai and Mitsui Aika each have been in MM with 18 other members 


16. Konno Asami and Ogawa Makoto each have been in MM with 17 other members 


18. Goto Maki has been in MM with 15 other members 


19. Kusumi Koharu, Fukumura Mizuki, Ikuta Erina, Sayashi Riho, Suzuki Kanon, Iikubo Haruna, Ishida Ayumi, Sato Masaki and Kudo Haruka each have has been in MM with 13 other members

[Shoujo Q]

yay for our monthly stats. Can't wait to see how you're going to fit one member into your sig.

[Melon]

I really love those stats for some reason. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

That seems so weird. I know that they were announced the day before she graduated, but it still seems like they weren't in MM together.

[Shoujo Q]

The most entertaining and emotional thing you will ever see from Morning Musume is all right here. [Click Me]



So much love for this Musume!

[Kaworu]

I want a good TV show for these girls! pleaseeee!! :(





Seriously, having a constant feed of entertaining/subbed material would make such a huge difference in my fandom...

I watched that yesterday. Cuteness overload!



I want a pet Masaki.

[Shoujo Q]

Watched the Vol.46 MM Magazine. A must download for anyone. I hope it shows up for regular download for anyone who can't witness such epicness.



After watching all these magazines. Haruna is my new favorite thing. I want to keep her in my pocket and feed her biscuits.

[Shoujo Q]

More photos from the 15th Anniversary H!P UTB Issue.

[Anderei]

I hate those boots in the Morning Coffee Photo.

[Pucchi-Mo]

They should just remake classic H!P covers for actual singles, instead of this tragic tragic photoshop stuff they do.



I want to see other ones!



(and if not remake, at least keep concepts of good past covers in mind)

[al kusanagi]

I wonder if Reina's discovered drunk posting, because her blog has suddenly gotten a lot more fun in the last couple of weeks...

[Shoujo Q]

I figured out how to make gifs again. (Without fireworks, because I no longer have access to it.)



I downloaded the last three MM magazines. I'm going to go gif crazy all up in here. (Eventually)

[al kusanagi]

DVD Magazine 46 is just awesome. So many great "Dis some BULLSHIT!" moments from Duu.

[Shoujo Q]

Vol.45 / Vol.46 both up on youku.



Watch Vol. 46 for the lulz and epic noodle battle. Watch Vol. 45 for behind the scenes extras from the Ultra Smart concert. It gets a bit teary at the end though.



I spent today watching vol. 45 on and off. Just finished it actually.



They showed the behind the scenes of when Aika was announcing her graduation. Zukki!



Also









Another reason to watch Vol. 46

[Anderei]

Does that gif make any more sense in context?

[/quote]



If you watch the video you'll understand. No Japanese required.

[Shoujo Q]

These ones come from Vol.45's credits.









And I'm done.

[yuzuriha]

Sayu's shirt is oddly appropriate.

[al kusanagi]

Also, Ayumi is wearing a Happy Tree Friends t-shirt in vol. 46. That alone is pretty cool, but if she's actually aware of the series and not wearing it just because she thought it was cute, that would make her awesome.

[Shoujo Q]

I can't believe I forgot this one last night. Another gem from Vol. 45

I bet it's just cause she thought it was cute. I hate that show. It gave me nightmares as a kid.

[NekoKaiSai]

DaXiaoJie turned three years old....on the 14th.

[BonkyuAsh]

They're still in H!P?

[NekoKaiSai]

Forward Music (Taiwan) still has them as well as links to H!P's recently updated Taiwanese website (which has 123's 60 sec. promo with Chinese subtitles) including one at the top for MM's 13 Colorful Character album. However, they're not on either H!P website even though they're still active.



That being said, if there's some sort of general consensus or order that they should be put into the other spam folder, I'll begin doing so.

[Madara]

I don't know where else to put this, but if a Hello! Project dream doesn't count as Happy Spam, I don't know what does.



This morning I dreamed I was visiting my nieces in the East Bronx and I picked up a magazine on their table that had a photo of C-ute on the cover. I was stunned to see that it was TV Guide. The picture had them in pink dresses from one of their PVs and Maimi was in the foreground sitting, with Saki standing behind her and the others off to the side. (When I woke up I realized that I don't recall any PVs where they wore pink dresses. Anyone?) On the cover it said they were appearing as art students on "Days of Our Lives" in September. I opened the magazine and found a photo spread devoted to them, with Maimi getting the most pictures. In fact, the only pictures, except for a quick glimpse of MaiMai in a suggestive pose with a young man (she's slipping the sleeve of a loose blouse off her shoulder), evidently a scene from the soap. I'm surprised that I hadn't heard about this and proceed to write down all the info so I can get on the board here and ask about it. Except that my note pad only has a little bit of space on one page left. Then I woke up.



I've had prophetic MM-inspired dreams before--I dreamed in both instances that Aibon and Miki came to New York a week before they actually did. So who knows? Although this seems kind of unlikely. But if anyone hears about C-ute showing up on American TV, you'll let us know, won't you?

[Shoujo Q]

Have you gotten your UTB 15 H!P Anniversary Issue yet?



If not, here are some images in varying quality.

[Noa]

Risako looks so stunning. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />
