Fukuda Kanon to Graduate from H!P and ANGERME.

[Anderei]

She's also gong to graduate at Budokan on November 29th.

[yuzuriha]

Oh yeah, I forgot a kind of important part didn't I lol

[al kusanagi]

Her lyrics are going to be emo as fuck. J-pop. J-rock. J-metal. And introducing J-shoe gaze.

[Kalle]

Japanese shoegaze does exist though ( check out Luminous Orange, they're one of my favorites. )
 
But a lyricist is an interesting turn for a former H!P member to make!

[TicTacAnyone]

Kanon as a lyricist... I want to have faith in it but I just imagine "Am I cute?" popping up in every song hahaha
 
KANON IS GOING TO BE THE NEW TSUNKU.
 
/sarcasm

[momoirosaya]

"Tell me I'm cute even when we get old"♪

[Elpis]

After watching the supposed reasoning explained by MMJJ tsunku, I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of stuff she'll be putting out. H!P will have a different sound.

Pulling this out of the weeds to tell you, Kanon's graduation concert will be broadcast live on BS SKY PerfectTV! Source
<div> </div>
<div>Which means someone's bound to screen it like they've done for previous concerts. (Hopefully!)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I vote we have a viewing party in Chat (or something) if that's the case, it's a Sunday. </div>

Since I can't be there for the concert (something I was originally planning to attend), I'd love to participate in this. Please keep us posted.

[TicTacAnyone]

Can I just point out that I'm about 115% sure Maro is pissed that Sayashi upstaged her in announcing her grad? Of course if you're a fan of Kanon/ANGERME her grad will be pertinent to you, but it's hard to argue that Sayashi's got more coverage, had the surprise advantage and has overshadowed Maro's grad, lol. It just had to happen to her before she left XD

[showraniy]

That girl gets pissed about anyone taking away her precious spotlight. She's awfully self-centered.

I want to clarify, she hasn't said *anything* of the sort of what I said, I just get that impression. Just wanted to make sure everyone knew hahaha.

[showraniy]

That's fine, and I don't blame her for feeling that way either. The honest truth is that everyone would hate having his/her big send off bungled up by someone else jumping in last minute for his/her own. Risa clearly felt that way about Aika jumping in hers, but I think Kanon is especially weird about the spotlight she thinks she deserves.


Just based on her graduating because new gens hogged "her" lines (assuming they would've even been her lines anyway) just feels snobby and self-centered to me.

[al kusanagi]

Honestly, I thought she was gone months ago until they started tweeting again. I never see her associating with any of the other members of the group. And it's not a generation thing, because Dawa is constantly seen goofing around with the with other members.

[mrsross]

I don't think Dawa doesn't mind because her role has been leader and it just gets more prominent with new girls being added meanwhile Maro's role in the group got smaller from going to being one of the lead girls to having less line coming her way and more being divided to more girls.

[momoirosaya]

Plus there's a big age gap between the girls. 3+ years when you're young is a lot. Maybe she just finds that she can't connect with some of them.

[Shoujo Q]

No stream (no one seems to love Kanon enough to do it in Japan.) But there's someone uploading clips from the live stream which you can view on their Twitter page.

Thanks. My friend Josh is there. My original plan was to be there, but those plans got derailed by an accident I had earlier this fall. So last night, to console myself, I put in the most recent Angerme concert I have:
 
Angereme STARTING LIVE TOUR SPECIAL @Nippon Budokan "Taikibansei"
Features Angereme's concert held on May 26, 2015 at Nippon Budokan.  
 
It's also at Budokan. It's got great song selection and the girls are in peak form--ALL of them. However, somebody forgot to turn the lights on in the arena. It's so DARK! You can hardly make out the girls. And, of course, they keep cutting away from good dance bits to super long shots from the top of the venue, so the girls look like tiny dots. I've never understood why they do that. One establishing shot at the beginning and one at the end are all you need. At least in the one happening now, judging from those clips, they actually have the lights on.

[Shoujo Q]

There's a very poor stream going on here. But only watch if you really want to know what's going on. The girl is talking through it. xD

Damn, I came back here too late. It's over now.

[Shoujo Q]

Better picture of Kanon in her graduation outfit.

[Mugi]

I love the outfit she looks like a princess!

[showraniy]

She looks really good! It's classic H!P gaudy, but it suits her really well, and somehow isn't too big and crazy.

[Hotaru]

It really suits her. Cinderella-like. I didn't think I was going to miss her, but I think I'm going to bawl my eyes out when I watch the concert at some point.

[WonderBuono]

Aw, I love her big princess dress, it's so cute!

[Madara]

Well, she's always been a princess in my eyes. I'm definitely going to miss her.

[JoshuaJSlone]

She's now on Twitter as @kanonfukuda.
 
And H!P was as quick to fake up a group picture without her as they were for Uta-less Country Girls earlier this year.

[mrsross]

That was quick (The making the twitter account, not the photoshopped group pic. They always have that saved on their flash drive whenever someone's graduating). She's graduating to be a songwriter right?

[phancy]

They just slapped all of the profile pictures together on one layer, kinda halfassed lol.

Yes, she wrote Ciao Bella Cinquetti's song 'Doushiyou, Watashi'
