The preview of new Morning Musume single is out in the open and posted many times on youtube. you can also listen to it in the following clip. All very quiet from Tsunku after giving some positive promotional clips about the group. Don’t you agree it wasn’t necessary unless their popularity was really going down? Something to ponder on while we get graduation details possibly on the next concert.

Hello Project,
Morning Musume,
Uncategorized by Aece McCloud
I was excited when downloading some of the latest updates from Morning Musume and HelloProject’s biggest website Hello-Online. I am sure the people running it are capable and spent some real time updating it. I had quite a list of files downloaded included latest HelloProject DVD Magazine, Yaguchi Mari’s latest TV appearance and Hello Project 2007 Summer 10th Anniversary Daikanshasai.
This post revolves around the Anniversary Daikanhsai concert with the new Morning Musume Members and their performance. Delighted I started watching the video with the Intro and within a few minutes lost all excitement. Obviously something was missing and I was disappointed and shocked on the whole presentation of the concert and how poorly it was planned overall. I couldn’t stand the missing pieces and had to delete the whole concert package from my drive after 5 whole minutes! That was something out of the ordinary and I still can’t believe what happened at that moment.
Call me no-fan, critic, or anything else but I am serious when I am writing this. This is the first time I treated any concert file to the bin and I never did it before. Morning Musume no concert-wa totemo daisuki desu. Even I keep other Anniversary performances and Aya Matsuura concerts on my iPod for my 3hrs daily travel and thats what I watch all the time. I won’t deny that I love them and care about them and thats the reason I try to make my point across.
The intro of the concert, the songs selection for members and the performances were a mess. Members didn’t seem to be enjoying like before and the whole time it seemed like a brutal drag of the show then a careful planned event. As I have observed many times, usually all concerts start with a specific rhythm and good numbers added as show progresses. But this concert seemed an ugly ducked version of the usual and I would be surprised to find Any quality measures ensuring a successful concert. Tanaka and Ai at some point sang Shining also sung by Goto and Aya before, but it was nowhere near the right standard. We are used to a bit more powerful performances, and I have always been content with old concerts. There is definitely something different in concerts these days or more precisely something wrong with the planning done behind the scenes.
What is wrong then?
There are a few explanations for that:
1. The management might be losing interest in planning further for the girls.
2. Synergy used to be present when senior members were around which is not there.
3. More talented members are needed or this decade might become the best, also the worst for Tsunku.
We had a Miracle!
There is absolutely no doubt Tsunku pulled off a miracle when coming up with ‘One for All and All for One‘ with the fabulous cast. I strongly believe the time we had with all the girls around is the best time in decades to come and we won’t be having that much fun again. It is saddening and still worrying for a lot of fans. I strongly believe in Morning Musume, in their come back with more talented girls because the fans still believe in them. But there are a few problems in the management that needs to be sorted hopefully soon.
We will continue to love Morning Musume and we expect them all having fun more than ever. I will strongly 100% support them and will always welcome them even 30 years from now.
Lets not all give up hope and expect for the best. I believe in their come-back and one day they will have fans in every single country around the world.

According to Kakko-ii results has been posted about who will graduate next from Morning Musume. Graduations, hmm… we will never run out of them And same thing goes for scandals. Get graduated or get scandalised, thats the question. I wanted to write something for so long but so far it has been so boring around here. I mean I can’t get my hands on anything *cool* that I would say is happening with Hello!Project.
They say its the survival of the fittest but is it only survival & nothing more than that? well that seems to be the exact case with Morning Musume right now. According to the poll Takahashi is most likely to be graduated and Reina/Risa was on second at 8% only.
Lets see now, it will be a complete no-brainer to graduate Takahashi Ai. There is no way, literally no way that she can be graduated at this time. What are you expecting next to have four major girls Risa, Reina, Sayumi and Eri in the Group? Considering Risa the group leader and with her charming personality she will be able to lead the group of all immature girls and have a successful 2008! Well that sounds like a good plan and I really love it! As long as I am dreaming, its the perfect plan and should be followed as it is!
Grow up people! Morning Musume is not the same as in year 2004, we don’t have any mature girls who are leading the group from 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation. There was an energy flow in the group a few years back that originated from 1st Generation and that is not there! The second generation came and they led the energy flow to a certain extent and it was fun while it lasted. And then came the third & fourth generation who easily found a way to go with the flow. But the new girls doesn’t have what it takes to be in Morning Musume and will be constantly pushed and dragged everywhere by the management!
Don’t get me wrong, I Love Morning Musume and its the first group ever that I really cared about. But the current situation of Morning Musume compared to the past year performances is really pathetic and can only be termed as survival of the losers. I mean come on! How clearly you want me to say it? We need to keep the old talent for as long as we can and we need to promote it and delay the further graduations of mature members! Girls cannot handle themselves right now and we need both Risa and Ai to stay! I repeat, Risa Niigaki and Takahashi Ai CANNOT LEAVE THE GROUP! ARE YOU LISTENING!!?? IS ANYONE FROM UpFront Works is listening AT ALL!!?? The people responsible are Not making good decisions in the favor of the Group of the future of th rest of the Girls, they are Not Helping!!
What are they trying to do? Get rid of Ai and Hope for the Best so No More Scandals will occur in 2008 !? Are they THAT STUPID !? COME ON NOW, even my Small Sister makes better decisions then people deciding for the Girls! The more I am writing right now, the More I am pissed off! May be that was the reason I didn’t want to write for soo long. And why not all the time its Fujimoto, Maki and some other girl on the news. Leave the girls alone! Whoever is after them, their partners, boy-friends, brothers, sisters, even the people who clean their houses, please.. Please.. PLEASE… do not commit Any crime whatsoever! We need the girls and we need to retain the rest of the energy left in the group!
Gosh, who the hell can I blame? If I knew the person responsible for the stupid mistakes, I will bash that person down for goood. I mean we are talking about Morning Musume, MORNING MUSUME !! and they are no good anymore! WHY!? because of some Baka in the Agency who has NEVER enjoyed their concerts before! I am sick of all the people who are behind Morning Musume and cannot make any better decision then picking up a bad career job. Leave it alone, if you cannot handle it and let us have a little bit of fun enjoying their concerts and be happy in our lives!
I want the Agency to make a public apology of whatever they have done with the girls and make sure none of that happens again. Bring back all the suspended members and start making some good numbers! It is not about a boy-friend or a girl-friend, they can be warned for next time, but NOO!!! Lets get rid of every single bit of Diamond from a diamond watch, every single pearl from a pearl necklace and every damn Jewel from a Jewelery shop! Thats how their brain works people if any of it is left! You should be able to decide for yourself, it is not to accept whatever they decide for the girls! I will continue to object unless they ALLOW the girls to self-progress and self-improve on their weaknesses. Do NOT push them around and bring back some old girls, even if we need a re-union for Old Time’s SAKE then YES we NEED IT !! even for 3 months or 6 months, that will help girls to grow and we can have some more fun going to the concerts!
Edit: Okay 5 days have passed and I am continuing the post after blowing off all the fuses in my brain after fuming over. Sales for Mikan are reported very low but that was expected and only 5 popular girls can’t carry against the group of 13-14 girls that used to exist. Take a look at my website banner and look at the girls group for ten minutes, and after ten minutes replace that image with the 5 girls group of Ai, Risa, Sayumi, Reina & Eri with Ai graduating in 2008; Nice! I love for what is happening with Morning Musume.
Recently a blog post by Hello Non-Pro Hour concluding that Morning Musume is now expanding in Taiwan and Korea. Huh? why is it happening now and is it really necessary to go to Taiwan and Korea for promotions? I don’t think so! The girls are being very immature and following every single thing the management is asking them to do. Sadly, these are very few options that girls can follow. The decision is right for the expansion and should have been done earlier, but coming at this time only means management now has concerns over the future of Morning Musume and not able to produce good talent from Japan lately, so may also be looking for something completely new. There is another statement about Tsunku in the reported blog stating ‘He was very clear in his words and expectations for each member, Morning Musume is not ending anytime soon.‘.
WAIT A MINUTE !!!
Who is talking about Ending Morning Musume?! Why he has to actually declare that the group is not ending??!! What is going on!? I really hate the fact that all scandals are really ruining the very career of the girls, the whole group, the whole project and there is nothing much to learn for young girls when mature girls are not there in the group, or is there?
