Ugh I do hate that tabloids are so in people’s personal lives. Like I’m nosy too, but people’s personal relationships shouldn’t affect their careers (unless they’re doing something illegal). The abuse thing is more scary to me. Makes me wonder if she’s covering it up, or is in an abusive relationship but can’t leave it, or doesn’t know that it’s abuse.

[DonJuan]

^Same. From what I've read she said the way she told her ex exaggerated her husband's behaviour but how will we ever know? 
And also agreeing on the part that the personal life shouldn't be published in tabloids. Already thought so about the Yaguchi scandal. Why should I care? It's shitty to cheat but not against the law.

[honey]

I’m also in agreement that unless somebody is doing something incredibly egregious/illegal, I don’t think the personal tribulations of artists or musicians should be public knowledge unless they want it to be. It’s sad that so many have their career jeopardized and their public image tarnished by some gaffe in their sex lives and I think the public obsession with who celebrities are fucking and shaming them for it is an issue we should take more seriously tbh

Did I miss the news that Mano is about to drop a new song digitally?

Ni-na (Harunan) has uploaded a music video:

It's surprisingly good.
 
(It's a cover of this song: https://youtu.be/TA5OFS_xX0c )

I miss Harunan so this makes me super happy.

My 3 all-time favorites together again! This made me so happy my heart was about to burst! I was literally squealing whenever a new song came on or one of them came on stage!



Edit: Tsuji and Aibon performing I WISH with MM'19! <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://youtu.be/GT7jUT-Vd_Q' class="bbc_url" title="External link">https://youtu.be/GT7jUT-Vd_Q</a>


I majorly teared up when Aibon started to cry. I can only imagine how much it means to her to be allowed on stage with H!P again, and especially with Tsuji.

[TicTacAnyone]

RIHORIHOOOOOOOOOOO
 
(That is all.)

[JPope]

Watching Kago break down towards the back-end of "I Wish", it seems like it never hit her that she was truly back until that moment.

[arcobaleno]

I'm happy that Riho's confidence is soaring and shining. She is definitely in a much better place mentally.


I was happy to see Sayu and Risa as well, and I had forgotten how much the dance move in Aishuu Romantic where they beat their love into the guy made me laugh lol.


My heart swelled seeing W reunited. I'm very happy Kago has gotten her life together and on track and that she and Nono can be on stage together again.

I know, it reminded me of the I WISH at the Tsujikago grad where they similarly broke down. I love Kago so much. I hope this heals her a bit and lets her move on from all the bad things she's had happen to her.

Riho hasn’t changed a bit!

I’m in New York this weekend and seeing two of my ‘14 girls back again is giving me the feeeelz

[yuzuriha]

Oh yeah I was ugly crying all weekend

Yaguchi had a wedding ceremony in Okinawa and is pregnant.

I have no idea if this is the same guy as the marriage announcement last year and the affair because they've shown his face previously but she blocked it out here?

[DonJuan]

Oh wow, that was really all of a sudden.
March and April this year have been more exciting than anything H!P related since Kobushigeddon.

Okai Chisato goes on indefinite hiatus.

[JPope]

Based on the Google translation, it seems she's just tired of the entertainment industry. 

[momoirosaya]

She’s been doing it forever, it’s a good age to explore other passions she might have.

This is honestly not bad. Not perfect, but pretty good. Kago's voice is EQ'd oddly and is a bit too hot in the mix for my tastes, and those things highlight her deficiencies, but this is something she could get better at. I've been saying for ten years now that some enterprising young band should have taken a chance on Kago as their lead singer, even if only for promotional purposes, because she would probably be better than they would imagine.
 
No seriously, for ten years:

A little more on this. Via Tokyo Hive

Kago Ai and entertainment group Bokura no Zaidan have formed a new unit called Watashi to Bokura no Zaidan.
This announcement was posted on Kago's official website. Bokura no Zaidan is a group that carries out various activities from producing footage to holding live events. Kago had been appearing in Bokura no Zaidan's stage plays and music videos from before. Kago, who was in charge of planning and producing the new unit, commented, "<i>I will start a type of entertainment that I want to do."</i>

Tsuji Nozomi has opened a Youtube channel. I have absolutely no idea what she says in her first video or what the channel is for but here you have it.

What I got: her kids watch a lot of YouTube and said “mom you should do it too.” She wants to do different things like makeup, DIY, cooking, vegetable gardening, and making stuff with her kids. First video was just a self-introduction.

Sayumi continues to be the only MM OG with a meaningful solo career with a solo album coming out on 7/24.

Also, Suzuki Airi will release her first single on September 4, as announced at her live this week.

[JPope]

Why did it take so long for Suzuki to get a second release?
