Graduation Time :: Another Year for Eri, Reina, Ai & Risa ? + [NOKOTO]

Posted under Hello Project, Morning Musume, Uncategorized by Aece McCloud

Its *that* period of the year again and its now time for the MorningMusume Management to get a hint. Last year was the most successful and fabulous year for the whole HelloProject with the coolest members left in the group. Its a pity that the members are doing their best to cope with the situation and kudos, props, kampai for their innocence in not realising the critical situation. I hardly believe the senior members who already graduated will be any happy about what is happening with all the existing members. Poor girls from China are in a big whirlpool having absolutely no idea on where they are heading.

I personally used to be a nerd watching Morning Musume day-in and day-out. But for some reason I am not getting any appeal to the rest of the members. The really good and best number I got anywhere from the group is from Tanjou Junnen Kinentai - Itoshilo Tomo by Morning Musume with one of the most kako-ii members of the HelloProject and I felt proud because only HelloProject can come up with these singles. Most of the time these days I am only listening to their old numbers, watching any rehearsal performances or field-trips to Hawaii. As I said previously the first seven Morning Musume generations are the top-notch talent producers and is a never unbeatable golden era in Japanese talent.

It All Started with the Curse of –> [NOKOTO]

Yes, thats right something happened in the mid of 2006 and someone in The Agency made the worst decision of graduating two members at the same time when the popularity of Morning Musume was at its extreme. It happened when Ogawa Makoto was destined to graduate with Konno Asami. That destroyed the time line of members graduation and I am sure the group of people who made the decision will be delighted to know how wrong they were. There was another bad position before when Rika and Yaguchi left Morning Musume in the same period but that wasn’t tough enough to break the Morning Musume’s constant growing potential. But no, that wasn’t enough and Makoto had to leave with Asami in the mid of 2006. But why would someone think that the group is at its extreme and would allow more than one people lowering the popularity all of a sudden?

 

Why was it necessary and what would have happened if she stayed? We all know Fujimoto had no sense of responsibility when she was the leader and gave one of the worst upsets in Morning Musume and probably wont join back if any of the title mentioned members graduate. I had repeatedly stated again and again about the weaknesses of the group but some people just don’t listen.

 

 

Keeping Makoto would have delayed graduation of Yoshizawa Hitomi by a year and at this time we would have had the 8th Generation members under Yossie and Fujimoto and she would have thought twice before lurking around with baka boyfriend.

Yes folks, there you go I said it. This is the Noroi of Makoto which will continue to haunt every single one of us for the rest of our lives. Have fun living with the devils in The Agency and make sure to go for trick-n-treak every Halloween keeping them happy.

Okay, who might be leaving?

It can’t be Takahashi Ai, she has the most talent in the group and there is no way she should leave.

Reina is simply too cute and is the most mature girl who can teach a lot to the other girls, thats the reason you will also find the newbies hanging around her a lot more in any latest TV appearances.

Eri Kamei is the only girl who is learning the most in the group and slightly moving forward to more maturity and it would be a mistake to fire someone who is still learning and improving.

Risa Niigaki is now a grown woman and has the potential to change people around but she needs a couple more years at least before she should leave. The most horrible and saddening graduation will be hers and I am sure most of the fans will miss her as I haven’t seen too many people contesting her talent.

Koharu Kusume is the future bomb who might give another kick-start to HelloProject but it is very early to say anything and everything might shutdown before that happens.

There you go, there is one person left. The one who has stopped growth at all levels and is not able to support any of the Morning Musume activities. The one who is the most shy and was probably hoping that it will happen to her very soon.

She is one of the Sixth Generation members and is More Likely to Graduate!

Happy Graduation Everyone!
