I knew there had to be a MM thread here. Why are things so dead though? Isn't anyone excited about MM's 37th single scheduled to be released Sept. 24? I know I am. I'm hoping for another good single like Resonant Blue.

i hope everyone gets more lines too =O

michishige asked for more lines to tsunku on music fighter

also, GATAS12LOVE recently uploaded videos of their concert in korea with their solos (and i finally get to see them perform MIKAN!! =))
http://www.youtube.com/user/GATAS12LOVE (most of the videos of the concert is in the ハロ☆プロ playlist)

I stopped listening or paying attention to them right after Sexy Boy.

didnt their ticket not sell well in korea or had their concert in a pretty small place... thats what i heard..

Im excited about it! Im just hoping they would release a good single where every member gets to sings (even if it's just 1 or 2 lines). I loved Resonant Blue but I was so disappointed with the fact that they shoved the other members into the background (mostly PV-wise, I dont mind the singing parts so much since the 3-nin's voices fit the song anyway).

On a non-momusu topic, Hagiwara Mai is releasing her 1st photobook soon! (omg 11-year old girl in a bikini? wait, is she 12 now?). I just thought that was interesting..lol.

I need to see more of Makoto. She disappeared after that Haromoni@ episode..lol

i don' think they would do that to her, probably only outfit shots. if she were to wear swimsuits she would be wearing single-piece ones




@virvir111
it looked like their tickets sold well to me. seeing the amount of fans at the airport in korea and during their performances. the stage they performed at was pretty big as well, and the cheers were loud

IT IS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED that haromoni@ is cancelled. the last episode is going to air on the 28th

they said it's cancelled because of the extremely low ratings ever since 'Hello! Morning' changed

reina & sayu new hair style



they looks so cute

sayu



credits : hello online

=) for their new cinderella musical ^^
that avatar is really nice! that hair looks so good on her i don't think anyone can pull that off

now that V-U-DEN is disbanded i wonder what okada and miyoshi will do..

WOW ! very lovely

I like Reina.

She's very lovely for me.

I like Miki and Irin too,

but now they aren't in this band TT ^TT~*

miss miss miss

who's irin?

EVERYONE! THEIR NEW SINGLE: PEPPER KEIBU!
Official PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghmCZmHTZpE&fmt=18
single releases 9/24

hey thread starter, is it possible if you can update it?

Thread starter hasn't updated since Mikan single it seems.
It's a slow thread cause everyone just goes to the other main H!P forums like H!O instead.

I think the new single is nice. The PV floating around looks like a dance version. I really like the interlude....*AiKick*
They've done a pretty good job on covering it and the green outfits don't actually look as bad as some of their previous outfits. The Kanashimi Twilight outfits are still the best imo.

Ame no Furanai Hoshi dewa Aisenai Darou..........not sure what song this is...no info on it yet.
It's a nice song but it sounds choir-like, not sure how to explain it better.
Don't want to compare them to AKB48 -.- but, my first thought when listening to it was "this sounds kind of like sakura no hanabiratachi".
Anyway I think fans are quite happy now that the line distribution seems more "fair" with less Aichan.
Though it seems like it's more Reina now.

Sayumin's PB O_O....wow. It ranked #1 PB on Amazon Japan.

v This one reminded me of like an abercrombie ad haha

yea i like the outfits.

they say the song was for the auditions in taiwan.
this was a version MM sang and i'm assuming they added junjun and linlin's parts from the audition to the official song or something.

hey guys i created some morning musume wallpapers. they're my firsts ones

I like their Pepper Keibu cover, but Im still hoping for a new single soon. Plus the Cinderella the Musical DVD

It was announced on the Hello Project website today that as of March 31st, 2009, all of the members of Elder Club will be leaving Hello! Project.
Mass graduation or mass firings? You make the call.

The exact members graduating are as follows:
Morning Musume OG:
Nakazawa Yuuko
Iida Kaori
Abe Natsumi
Yasuda Kei
Yaguchi Mari
Ishikawa Rika
Yoshizawa Hitomi
Tsuji Nozomi
Konno Asami
Ogawa Makoto
Fujimoto Miki

Inaba Atsuko
Satoda Mai (Country Musume)
Saito Hitomi (Melon Kinenbi)
Murata Megumi (Melon Kinenbi)
Ohtani Masae (Melon Kinenbi)
Shibata Ayumi (Melon Kinenbi)
Maeda Yuki
Matsuura Aya
Miyoshi Erika
Okada Yui
Ongaku Gatas (presumably, Korenaga Miki, Noto Arisa, Sengoku Minami, Sawada Yuri)

source:h!o

I personally believe it is not a mass firing, that would be an extremely stupid call on the management's part if they did.
They're probably just trying a different direction for the company, which is what they've been really needing imo.

WHAT?!?!?! THATS PURE MADNESS!~~ @#$%#%^
they CANNOT DO THAT! OMG


if this happens... who's in H!P? MM, c-ute and berryz? thats all? including eggs?

omg... ayaya...nacchi...melon....ongaku gatas..

YOSHIZAWA and ISHIKAWA just formed a new duo too

I can kind of (and I highly stress the word) see them getting rid of the people who aren't really active, but this is too much. How can they get rid of Melon Kinenbi? How can they get rid of Yossie, Mikitty, Matsuura and everyone else? I'm saddened to hear this, but at least they're all still in Upfront Agency......right?

they said that they will still continue activities, just not in Hello!Project......
basically no ones in H!P anymore "

anyways

I really love Reina's fashion sense. Fits her perfectly =)

Im sad about Elder Club's graduation too. Most of my favourite members are there

new wallpapers from me:

ZOMGitschu's MM Wallpaper 7.1

ZOMGitschu's MM Wallpaper 7.2

ZOMGitschu's MM Wallpaper 7.3

ZOMGitschu's MM Wallpaper 7.3 (Grey)

That sucks that they are all 'graduating'. It really does seem like a mass firing though. Then there are only C-ute, MM and Berryz left?
How sad. H!P is really going downhill, no?

Morning Musume is the best idol group of the Japan

my fav is Niigaki Risa, she is so beautiful and Genki

They are so pretty, I think the girl on the bottom left is the prettiest in "New Morning Musume" Members.

H!P is holding Korean auditions.
http://www.hello-online.org/index.php?showtopic=13564

By the way, have you seen these INCREDIBLE fandubs?
http://www.youtube.com/user/shosing

I recommend:
Resonant Blue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zd4TIMhJlw...re=channel_page
Onna ni Sachi Are http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsRjjVpZpRQ...re=channel_page
MilkyWay - Anataboshi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzZo1-8wtvU...re=channel_page

These girls need to go on Japanese TV... like that Trivia show and those countless Monomane shows. They sound amazingly similar to the real thing.

My lovely MoMusu...They're in such bad condition IMO. Berryz Koubou gets better singles than MM. It's horrible pain for me 'cause I'm still waiting for MM to full reborn.

Wow Momosu on Korea? Cool~

I LOVE Morning Musume so much >.<
It's kinda sad though cuz this thread isn't moving much >.<
Does any one know where I can find avatars/banners of Morning Musume that are the appropriate size for soompi?? I wanna spread the Momusu luv
Please and Thank You ^-^

I've lost interest eversince Hitomi and Miki left. The older members were a lot more interesting and fun to watch.
Nevertheless, I still think their songs are catchy. Crappy PV but still catchy songs.

Gasp, the thread keeps dieing!
New PV is out, Shouganai Yumeoibito.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bLBKlkS5zw...feature=related

I really like it, Koharu looks so mature! God, she's so pretty. They are all so pretty!

Koharu transformed nicely. She wasn't as attractive during her audition. I wonder if any of her old classmates think she's cute now

I met Yoshikawa san and Ishikawa san at sakura con~ (HANGRY&ANGRY)
Since I was staffing for them on thursday and friday, I got to see them really upclose.
Ishikawa is really adorable and realllyyy flirtatious with the boys... -__-;;
Yossie is really really really nice. As a member of a staff, it's our job to make them feel comfortable as possible, so it's not like we can go up and talk to them and take pictures with them when we like it. But she was cool enough to come up to me. lol~. she gorgeous... I don't think photos do her justice. The blonde with pink ends really matched her well. Hahaa we talked about designers most of the time lol~ I got her into Colonize and she talked about Nike and H.Naoto ^^. And i think it was really sweet of her to just converse since her managers (they had three -__-) were divas about EVERYTHING. They got mad at the liason for making the girls wait for the elevator to come up -__-;; wtff...

I didn't really like this group because I love AKB48 more but I have to admit..these girl are icon ^^

That's so cool that you got to meet them and talk with them! I'd love to be able to do that! It's too bad about the managers though...
(It makes me wonder if all UFA managers are like that which might help explain why H!P doesn't do that much promo.)

I love Shouganai Yume Oibito! I hope I won't get tired of it after awhile because I loved Egao YES Nude for a long time and then I started to not like it.

I love the new song. The pv is okay. The only things that kept me really into the pv were the beautiful of Eri, Gaki, and Sayumi

@FLAMELUV
You are so lucky. I am so not surprised Ishikawa was flirty with the boys. She looks like she would be. I expected Yossie to be nice. She always comes across like that. I would have died of happiness if she talked to me. It sucks about the managers though.

yeah their managers wer uhgg -__-;; like one of them had a freaking staring problem.
I was using my marc jacobs bag on the day we met them, and one of the managers kept giving me a dirty look and kept glancing at my bag. I noticed she had a bag too, easily recognizable as dooney&burke. like i'm sorry if I have a better bag than you but it doesn't mean that you have to give me such a glare -__-;;

I thought I would die as a nervous wreck too but it wasn't too bad since we couldn't talk to the girls much anyways. And when I did speak with Yossie, it was weird since I felt like I was talking to a friend more than an idol cuz she was so freaking down to earth. and she had a smile on all the time even though she was sick. And i felt bad that she had to celebrate her birthday at an anime convention since I heard that she wanted to spent her birthday back in Japan with her boyfriend. I hope she was able to celebrate her birthday again when she got back to japan .

It seems 2 of Momusu's girls got caught in another scandal, and this one could mean the end of Morning Musume. LOL!
http://qwaxx.blogspot.com/2009/05/morning-...-sex-photo.html

I find this highly amusing XD

... uh, it looks like their photos are on a pillow and he is wrapping his arms around the pillows.
Am I missing something here? O.o
Hello! Online hasn't posted anything about it.

International Wota linked to the story.
http://www.intlwota.com/2009/05/blogs-a-sp...me-sex-scandal/
I mean, half naked guy and 2 pillows with pictures of MM members on it is serious business! XD
If this means wota will break their MM cd's and post pictures of it i'll be happy.
I guess i have to burn some Eri Kamei pictures.

What a creepy photochop.....

Their latest song is better than the more recent singles but I was hoping for something better.
Kanashimi Twilight is probably the last single that I really liked.
I hope they put out some more songs like that.

In all seriousness, i haven't listened to any MM songs for quite some time.
Last time i fandolized them was 2 years ago i think.
I lost interest when Linlin and Junjun joined [not that i hate the two]
And i still hate Tsunku for not choosing Yuu Kikkawa and Sumire Satou. [Although Yuu did became a H!P member and Sumire is a AKB48 research student]
I wish it was 2004 again when i entered the world of Jpop and H!P.
Ah good times.

Has anyone entered the PV contest?

These impress me

... Together they weigh 40kg @_@

Really random, but I was watching Star Empire (I think that's the name of the show) and Momusu were on there. More like Ai, Gaki-san, Lin Lin, and 2 others were there. I have no idea if it was a rerun or something, but I had a major spazz fest when I saw them.

^ hmm not sure what that is but they were in Korea for the Meet Tokyo Girl auditions. They appeared on the first episode.
