30 songs for her 30th birthday, how fitting. I'm certain they'll release it at some point down the line.

[Farrah]

I love Sayumi like possibly no other, but the idea of sitting through 2 hours of her vocals really strikes a bolt of fear into my heart lmao.  I'm sure it was fun, though.

Here's a tea commercial featuring Duu and three other young celebs rocking out to Judy and Mary's "Over Drive".

That Jazzmaster looks good on Duu.

Well if you like that, you'll love the behind the scenes...

Mano Erina and Duu are pretty much the only H!P girls to transition into legitimate screen acting careers, right?

Mano, sure. Duu, I feel like it's not a "legitimate" career until she gets more jobs haha.

I watched that first. It's pretty long, though, so I just posted the finished commercial.
 
It is cool seeing the girls actually learn their instruments to the point where they can play the song.

I'm still waiting for that ninja series I want Duu to star in.

Chisato wore this prophetic t-shirt in the H!P Winter 2014 concert:
 

[JPope]

Ha ha, I actually offered a bootie of that shirt in my Redbubble store for a while. Pretty sure this was her outfit from the Satoyama group Triplet that year.

[TicTacAnyone]

Meimei's new single, "Butai" (Short MV ver)

[JPope]

Wow, that's really good. It's very Shiina Ringo, which suits her voice so much better than mainstream pop. I really like this.

[al kusanagi]

Sayu getting her game on with Famitsu, playing Splatoon 2 and Tertris99.

Ni-na (remember her?) does a collab with comiket and releases a bunch of goods: A clearfile, badges, acrylic keycharms, a t-shirt, totebags... and an original CD.

 

 
Haruna Ni-na of all people got an album...

[JPope]

LOL! So the last two MM members to get solo albums are Sayu and Harunan. 
 
And the last before them was Koharu.

[mrsross]

LinLin made an album too. So, some good former MM singers are doing something.

[JPope]

Ah totally forgot about Linlin.

I'm not even mad. Haruna could have been doing this whole digital idol thing a whole year before she started. I think she sounds really good on her songs and I check in to see her playing games every now and then lol.

[DonJuan]

I'm not complaining either, but it's funny, isn't it? Two of the least talented singers in MM history were the last ones to get solo albums - simply because they have found their niche.
(Also Linlin might have released an album in China, but not under Up Front. Still good for her!)

On better OG H!P singers...
 
Suzuki Airi will perform at Yokohama Arena on April 21 2020!

Also, the covers for her debut single, Escape, have been released:

Not gonna lie, I'm a bit... weirded out by the fact that they got Airi, as a soloist, to YokoAri, but not Morning Musume and instead do two Budokans for MM every tour lately. Good for her, though.

[WonderBuono]

Crap I want all of them. She is so perfect.

Okay, so apparently Fujimoto is preggers, third child on the way.

I guess Sayuminglandoll is returning in November?


Looks like a pretty interesting show, even if only for the effects.

Yep, the theme for this one is going to be the Olympics. Something about tying together the story of a girl and the first Asian Olympics in 1956 and another girl with the 2020 Olympics.

[Shoujo Q]

For the 3 of you who might be interested. Ogata Haruna has a youtube channel now. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0fDc-pgcpjAYk8INn7kVeQ

[DonJuan]

Aaaand... she's blonde
I wish H!P girls would try more with their hair. Especially now that many of them are out of school. They can leave the black hair to the school girls.
 
/EDIT: Alright, the preview looked lighter. It's more of a lighter mid-brown. But still, the only one in that territory is Ikuta.

[JPope]

I hope she finds success as a YouTuber.

[Purin-chama]

I haven't been paying a lot of attention to Airi, but there's a performance for her first single Escape that appeared on YouTube. I'm really digging it

I've been following Airi as closely as I can; especially through her very active Instagram where i think she does a great job promoting every aspect of her career. She's been thriving! Beyond just her music career, she's been continuing to model for Ray, done multiple fashion shows, gotten some acting work, and made tv appearances. I'm so happy for her. All her hard work has been paying off and according to her UFP has been listening to her and how she wants things to be. I'm happy that they haven't screwed her over (especially since they supposedly essentially begged her to go solo after C-ute because she didn't plan to).



Speaking of management companies, Kago Ai has had her contract terminated by her management company. ????????‍
