Really excited to add that the domain Tsunku.com is now part of Tsunku.org and can be used as a mirror to this blog. I have decided to keep the site permanent whether I am available or not; sooner or later it will be updated.
All those people who are getting updates through RSS feeds will have to wait as I am still in the process of fixing it. The software is recently upgraded to latest Wordpress and I am still working on it.
I have also noticed that the blog doesn’t appear properly in older IE versions, thats because of big tag fonts. I will see what I can do about it, meanwhile you can use Firefox 3.0 (woot!) to browse the blog.
I wanted to write a long post but also still waiting on the next graduation decision, lets see what happens.
This is really crazy because a lot of things I have mentioned before are coming true!
God Bless Nihon!

Introduction by Aece McCloud
Hello there! My online name is “Ace McCloud” and I have known to Tsunku’s relics for just about a year now. I am a business analyst in UK living in a secret remote place not known to anyone for the past few years and will discuss the strategies played by Tsunku and UFA. It has been eight months since I have been listening to Hello Project and Morning Musume and now I completely managed to understand the nature of Japanese culture through their media within this time. One thing I learned from the events that have been taking place since the start of Morning Musume and Hello Project that it is structured to get as much money as possible by strategizing and bringing the best concepts. That includes producing music, have the best mix-up of artists for presentation and of course good choreography. What I like about Morning Musume that it is the first time in Japan where someone is forced to mature through self-development nurturing confidence and sharing experience with other members. However, in USA all artists mature learning through others and also sharing experiences. That gave members of Morning Musume a chance to develop their own personality which is virtually non-existent in almost all US artists and help them go through a fun loving process. The idea can only be produced by an eastern country who is willing to take risk in doing it, whereas the US music production companies take necessary steps to make sure that it is going to work.
There is a lot of give and take in the music industry. As much as artists enjoy the process of working and the fans enjoy the music, the record companies decide the future stake of the artists on their strategical needs of making money. This is a very ugly fact which is not much discussed by anyone in public. Please post your recommendations, comments on the blog posts and let me know which direction would you want me to go. I will go as far as past reactions of graduations, performances to what else is happening in the Japanese music industry and sometimes some relevance of what else is happening in the rest of the world. If you would like to email me anytime you can do that at Author@tsunku.org
