Now it’s official

Official announcement has been posted at Hello!Project’s site – you can read it here(Japanese). I haven’t read into it myself – I will do it tomorrow, because it’s already too late here  and  gotta get up early to work tomorrow -  but it seems that all the hopes of these news being someone’s bad joke shattered like broken glass. Now all what’s left is to watch Yuuka up till 31st of December and then say good luck and good bye to her. I have controversial feelings about this, which I’m not really in the mood of sharing right now. I’ll just share you a picture of Yuuka of my choice.

 

S/mileage Maeda Yuuka to graduate???

According to the newspapers, Maeda Yuuka of S/mileage is to graduate on 31st of December, which makes it a “great” New Year gift for her fans. According to her, she wants to focus on studies to enter the university and I as a fan, of course can only say good luck to her, but WHY???? WHY YUUKA???? OTZ

Help S/mileage to debut!

Hello! It’s time for us fans to gather up and help S/mileage to debut properly. That’s if you haven’t done so yet. So as most of you probably know, producer Tsunku has made a challenge for S/mileage – they should gather 10.000 photos of smiling people by the 25th of March. So those of you who haven’t yet send in their photos, please do this!

Yes, anyone can participate. So just GO HERE and send your photo!

Oh and for those, who don’t know Japanese well enough – there’s a good instruction on Hello!Online site.

Thanks for your time.

Strawberry Day!

Hello! It’s the strawberry day today! Ah well – for those of you that don’t know for some reason, it’s Fukuda Kanon’s 15th birthday today. Well actually her birthday was yesterday by Japanese time, so I think that’s a bit of a late-congratulation so to say. But anyway I want to congratulate her with her 15th birthday and wish her a good luck, good health and so that nothing makes her feel depressed.

Happy 15th Birthday Kanyon-chan!

お誕生日おめでとう、かにょんちゃん！

Thanks for your time.

New unit S/mileage.

Hello! This post will also be pretty short, but these are great news. I think you remember that a new unit, formed from chosen members of Hello!Pro Eggs – Wada Ayaka, Maeda Yuuka, Fukuda Kanon and Ogawa Saki – was to make a debut somewhere in autumn. And that its title was still unknown. Well according to the post in Tsunku’s Ameblog this new unit is now called S/mileage. As Tsunku writes in his blog – the name contains three words in itself. The words are – smile, age and mileage. Whatever he meant by this whole Age of Smile thing he mentions in his blog – I really like this title.

I think that this is a somewhat interesting title, because except those three words it contains also lots of other allusions, which can be chosen by anyone in his(or her) own preferring. And this name is a lot better than Ice-cream Musume’s because of two factors – it’s not Ice-cream and it doesn’t contain “Musume” part. I can’t wait for this new unit to release something, but I think that it will sound great.

Thanks for your time.
