If this could mean the end of Tsukishima Kirari, period, I would be THRILLED. I just want Koharu to keep her dignity at this point. She'll turn 17 this year. Enough is ENOUGH!
^That's what I fear. From now on they can just pimp Mano more - as their only soloist. *worried* I'm not surprised that the show is ending. The ratings were dropping and then she's releasing the best album and etc. So I won't go "NOOOO!" and "WHYYYYY?" But it still makes me sad. I liked Kirarin Revolution and most of all I liked Kusumi's solo releases. Especially since, she's been pushed rather back in Morning Musume lately. Which didn't borther so much, since she had her solo career. But now... I'll surely miss it. And since the last episode is just a month away, there's no chance of a new release, before that. (execpt her best - which contains no new songs... cheapos ) But of course I kinda need to do this... ... ... MILKYWAY! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Koharu's been doing the silly anime releases for some time now - how long, nearly three years? - and I don't object to her moving on to a new chapter in her life. If H!P could get back into the habit of awesome sub-groups, they could give her something like that to do. Or hell, summer shuffles. What a novel idea! -_- But seriously...I haven't loved one of her singles since Balalaika. It's been a long time.
^Lol, I thought the same thing. Hope there'll be some interesting outfits. I'm looking forward to this PB.
^ I seen a smal preview over at H!O. The preview looked pretty good but I wanted to see more of a clothes preview instead of a bikini. I think this PB is going to be her best. Since when I seen the the preview I didn't know it was her. She looked like a totally different person~! Hopefully Koharu will be able to do another anime so she can release more solo singles/songs. I really did enjoy watching Kirarin Revolution. I started watching it when it first came out. Her voice was really good for the happy character. I was hoping that the anime was going to be a little longer since I wanted to know what happened between her and Hiroto, but thats just me. At least I still get to see her on Ohstar~! Doing her KOHA~!
Koharu has announced that she'll graduate from Hello! Project. Seriously, it feels like I'm losing Takamina in AKB48. But this time it's Morning Musume.
I'm still in total shock. Without Kusumi, it's not MM anymore. Now I just have Junjun and Kamei left.
^ Same here. After I put aside Aika, I have Kusumi, Junjun and Kamei. But my love for Junjun and Kamei are faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from Kusumi. Seriously this gives effects to me. I couldn't sleep well last night. I was thinking how far will Kusumi go after graduating. I don't want to lose her even though she's not in H!P anymore...
^If she at least stayed in H!P, so there was some way to follow her... I really don't get this whole thing. Tsunku's new blog message about it made me even more confused. Why does he suddenly want to graduate her? It's not even her decision... I don't get her. I mean I would have understood if she stayed in H!P, and Tsunku saw potential in her as a solo artist or something like that, but to make her leave??
^No, turns out it was Tsunku's decision. To say it less nicely, he seems to have fired her for some unknown reason.
Yeah, sounds dodgy. I mean she's leaving hellopro entirely. If it was something innocent like "she's ready to out on her own" or something wouldn't they keep her as a solo artist in hellopro? She's still good at the young & cute style songs, so it's not like she wouldn't fit in. She's not an old lady
I think what happened was, Tsunku wanted to graduate Koharu only out of Morning Musume to be a soloist, and then Koharu took it further and decided to leave H!P to be a model. Maybe she decided that she didn't want a singing career if it wasn't part of Morning Musume and thought it was time to pursue another one of her interests. But this is good, right? She's going off to do (possibly) bigger and better things, and I like her better with her mouth closed anyways. Think positively!
If you weren't a fan of my dear Yukirin I would so totally make you suffer for saying that Anyway, I wish Koharu all the best! I'll really miss her, in Morning Musume as well as H!P itself.
