Dambara Ruru has to take a break from dancing due to a fatigue fracture in her foot.
 

 
/EDIT: Alright, the official website sais it's a sesamoid bone fracture in her right toe...
[/quote]
 
wow stress facture is something big (because it come from high intensity - so it can come back easilly), so I'm kinda glad it's just something minor.
 
And I'm with Q on that, it's suprising how there's few dancing injuries with the shoes they're in.

[quote="Shoujo Q"]
I bet she rolled her ankle when dancing and though she’d be fine. It’s always because of a rolled ankle. With the shoes they wear It’s a wonder it doesn’t happen more often.

With the exception of Aika, I can't help but feel like the girls used to get injured a lot less often back when they mostly wore gogo boots instead of heels LOL

Based on how she dances/walks while performing, I wouldn't be surprised if it was something like that. Poor Ruru :( The stage will surely miss her dancing, I think she's surprised a lot of fans with how good she is at it.

[Anderei]

The average Japanese diet also isn’t one that really promotes high bone density. These girls aren’t that strong.

[Zoe]

There were times last year or the year before when half of MM were wearing sneakers instead of heels.  They should just embrace it.

[Mukuro]

Yeah as a former dancer it's really common to still dance if it's a minor injury. So I wouldn't exactly be surprised if it happens more than we know of and they just work through it.

[yuzuriha]

^You have no idea how many ballet classes/rehearsals/shows I did a severely twisted ankle.

[DonJuan]

To be fair, when I first heard "fatigue fracture" all those Aika memories came back - just that Ruru really is an important part of the group and has a really bright future. I was really glad when I heard it was "only" her toe.
 
On another note, about olympics...
 
"Hello! Project groups are taking part in promotional activities for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. A couple of days ago Morning Musume '20 announced 50 days to the start of the Olympic torch relay, and now all of Hello! Project remind us it is 200 days until the Paralympics."
 
I'm not sure how much doing some "only so-and-so more days until olympics!" is... "promotional activities", but hey, good for them. They get featured on twitter, at least.

[Anderei]

It’s about as close to promotional activities as they could realistically hope for.

This feels like a short set list for a concert tour.

[Shoujo Q]

They could be performing the songs in full?

[WonderBuono]

I find it kind of weird they've already dropped Zenzen Okiagarenai Sunday.

I immediately thought this, but then doubted myself and didn't post it.... Glad to see it wasn't just me, lol.

A track from their most recent and highest selling single to date. Yeah, that's even more strange than the short set list. What the hell is going on over at Camp Angerme?

[Zoe]

Their previous tour was short on songs as well.

[Farrah]

Oota Haruka will be temporarily suspending her activities as a result of her recent scandal.  She apologizes for the inconvenience and asks everyone to please continue supporting Angerme while she takes time to reflect on her actions.
 
Her scandal apparently completely snuck by me so I had to investigate 5ch to confirm what happened lol.  Apparently she got caught hanging out with a female fan?  There was also some leaked information so overall it's just a bit of a mess.

[momoirosaya]

Uh okay? What a boring “scandal”.

Very SNH48 of her lol.


Crazy that she’s being suspended though.

[DonJuan]

She leaked concert setlists and surprise fanclub event guests, so it was a bit of a deal. Personally, looking from a business point of view, I think this is worse than dating. Though the spicy thing is that the female "fan" acted like she was in a relationship with Haruka. A romantic one.
Apparently the hiatus was her own decision, though. I wonder if someone said something to her, but then again they haven't really had handshake events lately due to the virus.
 
And to be fair it wouldn't be a big loss

[Farrah]

It's situations like this that remind me I am an atypical idol fan, because honestly this just made me like her more lmao.

[TicTacAnyone]

Is this adding to the "rip Angerme" fuel?

[JPope]

I gotta say, this Angerme thing has become crazier than the Kobushi thing at this point, and I would give Oota the boot as an example to the rest of H!P moving forward. This episode has a weird and creepy stink to it that's going to follow her as long as she's around. She's among the most dispensable members of the group, so just cut that shit loose and move on without her.

[Anderei]

Apparently it’s going around that this fan is an adult, which kind of adds a bit of a predatory element to it. She only turned 16 a couple months ago.

[DonJuan]

Big yikes. Apparently she also took pictures of Haruka while she was sleeping. This is getting more and more uncomfortable.

[momoirosaya]

There’s a difference between 20 and 40.


I’ve taken pictures of my friends sleeping if they fall asleep in public or are making a funny face while sleeping (to show them later).


It’s hard for me to form a full opinion without the facts.

[WonderBuono]

Sure but the difference between 20 and 15-16 is still enough to make me uncomfortable.


Angerme is gonna have an uphill battle in front of them now for sure.

[sayu1991]

Haruka leaking information was a dumb move but I feel this is being viewed as worse than it is. This "adult" female fan may be an 18-year-old high school senior or college freshman who became friends with Haruka. If she was able to take sleeping pictures of her, it makes me think they're close in age and were having a sleepover. It just sounds to me like Haruka became friends with a girl and shared bits of her work life (who doesn't talk about work/school with their friends?) and the friend betrayed her.

[momoirosaya]

^In Japan you aren’t an adult until you’re 20.
