Hello!News Network :: 2023; 25 Years of Noisy Girls!

[DonJuan]

Now it's gotten to Juice and Rei and Yume got it.

Also, ALL of Biyo is out. Everybody but Saya tested positive, but Saya feels bad, too. They've cancelled their TIF appearance :(

[JPope]

[DonJuan]

Very good. The KSS have lost many members lately (fortunately most to debuting in OCHA). They might find another raw jewel.

[Shoujo Q]

This really hasn't been talked about here but it's pretty great.

Tamura Meimi was in an NHK Drama special called "Idol", that aired August 11th. The story was about Japan's first Idol, Matsuko Ashita played by Kotone Furukawa. Tamura played Koyanagi Nanako, Matsuko's group mate. Promotional Website

But then it got better. Tsubaki Factory members Yamagishi Riko, Tanimoto Ami, Asakura Kiki, and Akiyama Mao. As well as BEYOOOOONDS' Nishida Shiori, Eguchi Saya, Maeda Kokoro, Yamazaki Yuhane and Satoyoshi Utano. Were all in the special as backup dancers.

[DonJuan]

As of today, Fukumura Mizuki and Ikuta Erina are the longest serving MM members.
They broke Sayumi's record.

[JPope]

What are the odds that Sakura ends up breaking their record?

[MejraThea]

Pretty good? She's the star now after all. Why leave?

[DonJuan]

Considering that she also has no ambitions to go solo... might as well stay in the group.
The interesting part is that Sakura never bothered me that much. She was the best singer from the get-go yet still didn't overpower the group. I don't think there's been an a-side where she actually got the most lines - or at least not so strikingly that it bothered me. She's a bit too conservative for me regarding her thoughts about the group (the seniority hierarchy and stuff), but who knows if she'll ever be leader.

[Solarblade]

[JPope]

Nice! Some of these are really great.

[DonJuan]

Juice's Budokan (planned for tomorrow) has been cancelled because 5 out of 10 members caught covid.

[DonJuan]

Kaga Kaede has graduated from Morning Musume on Saturday, her solo being Give me Love (from the album 12, Smart).

The song choice was very Kaga. Fits a deep voice and is very melancholic. I kind of expected her to do Silver no Udedokei, but this one is better.

[MejraThea]

This I want to see!

[DonJuan]

All Biyo members have their own individual instagram accounts now!

[AquaChan]

Oh this girl is not lucky

[DonJuan]

Yup, that's pretty bad. They don't remove cysts unless they're really troublesome, so she probably had problems with it for some time now.

But man, the girl had something bad every year now. Last year it was sudden loss of hearing, the year before that something lumbar related.

[JPope]

Damn, she really is jinxed. I hope she recovers, because seeing idols graduate because of health concerns rather than because they're ready to move on sucks.
