No idea. I'm pretty sure it's been listed as 176 for a couple of years, but she's grown since then.

Someone told me she's mentioned 182cm on her blog before.



Chinami's photobook cover is out:

[yuzuriha]

Yurina is a giant. My best friend is about six feet and she's pretty self-conscious about it, and in Japan where the average height is even shorter I'm assuming she feels even more out of place.





This is going to sound mean but I feel like that is not the prettiest picture of Chinami that they could have used for the cover. o_O

[Noa]

Oh my god Chinami no. I want to like wrap her in a blanket.

[Anderei]

Am I the only one who thinks it's a good photo?

[Shoujo Q]

Chinami not smiling, is just not Chinami. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... R#>/8o.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='8o' />

Yes, that's factor what it is! I couldn't out my finger on it.

[star]

I love that picture, but can we get some clothes or at least a blanket?

[Mukuro]

.. I didn't know it was Chinami when I first saw the picture. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' /> She needs her Chinami smile!

[Shoujo Q]

Got this from Jplop.

You can see her bikini top if you look closely.

I didn't see that the first time

[rob]

I actually think that photo is great, it's sexy but it's not vulgar, it's naturally posed.



There isn't anything wrong with a WOMAN like Chinami being sexy All power to her, you go girl! ...... koi no victory.....

Not sure if joking or being serious. I guess I'll never know.

[Pi Mako]

That's a very non-flattering photo of Chinami. That facial expression is mighty creepy.

[rob]

I'm not getting all the hate this is getting to be honest....



I'm 99.8% sure that Chinami herself has a say in which photos get chosen though

[yuzuriha]

It's not her being "sexy" that bothers me, it's just that it doesn't look like HER.

[rob]

oh yeh I see that, but I quite like that though!



I know it's very different from her usual "just having fun" image, but sometimes variety is the spice of life.

[Melon]

LBR, the reason photobooks exist is to provide happiness fodder for forever alone guys wanting happiness fodder. That cover accomplishes that. Who is the girl doesn't matter outside of sales potential, I suppose. If they existed for the reasons we wanted them to exist, we'd get a lot more interesting shots and concepts that aren't bikini related.

[rob]

Amen to that!!



I'd love to be in charge of one of the photo books and actually think of a concept or a story to tell via the photos! that would be a lot of fun.



They wouldn't sell well though

[cadmonkey]

Sayuminglanddollville had a concept, didn't it? At least it did from the previews that I saw...

More like "themes" than an overall concept. There were several different themed shoots - barbie doll sexy bathtub party, American 50's Housewife, Alice in Wonderland, etc. Sayumi was involved in a lot of the creative direction of that book, but it didn't happen until she'd been in the business for nearly 10 years and had a well established fan base. I think the girls who are younger, less experienced, or have less of a fanbase tend to get more generic and safe stuff to make their photobooks an easy sale to wota. And even though Sayu's photobook was more creative than most it was plenty sexy to please the pervs. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

Masaki VS a gumball machine.



Y U so freakin' adorable?!?

[rob]

I just watched that too, she rambles total gibberish it's really funny!



I've done it 6 times.. that makes... 6000.... ermm.... ANYWAY.... lol



Then at the end she was blabbering on about if you do it ten times you get 10th gen and 9 for 9th and 6 for 6th gens and the video said



"We have no idea what she's saying" lmao



Ohhh Maa-chan please don't ever change!!

[Mugi]

Here is The Matenrou Show "TYPE 0". I think Gaki sounds good but Riho sounds horrid. I dont get why her vocals are still there.

I think it's Aika.

[Banana]

It's definitely Riho. I'd know that voice anywhere. It sounds like this was recorded a long time ago, though. Maybe TMS was supposed to be a single or something before Risa left.

[rob]

It's 100% Riho

[Haru]

Remember when fiftieth single came out they were saying it would be Risa and Aika's last single. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... lesson.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lesson:' />

Ok, calling it now...



Tanaka Reina's days as a member of Morning Musume are coming to an end... SOON!



I'll be VERY surprised if she is still a member by the end of the year / winter tour
