Mari's affair scandal

I cannot accept this. Yaguchi Mari was a great Morning Musume member and it was a role model for lots of  people. But an affair. Seriously??

Her husband is a really good and handsome buy. I don't find a reason for this. Sorry!

At least she had a public apology. But I don't think this will really help. But hope.

Be a good girl, Mari!

NMB48's movie. What you were waiting for.

NMB48 have announced that their movie, “NMB48 Geinin! THE MOVIE Owarai Seishun Girls!”, will be in theaters on August 1st.

Too long to wait. But better than City of Bones that comes out after 20 days from that. (What? I have an American life too).

 The film is a tale of youth set in the “Comedy Club” of the prestigious “Namba Girls School” and it was also screened at the March Okinawa International Film Festival.  At the time, the opening date had not been decided and both NMB48 members along with fans anxiously awaited the opening date announcement.

Members Yamamoto Sayaka, Watanabe Miyuki and Yamada Nana have all stated that they are feeling really exited for this movie and they want it to be a hit.

Tomochin to hold a "Dance Trial" contest for her upcoming single

I didn't quite get it so I will just try to re-word what other people said.

Tomochin will hold a dance contest, Itano Tomomi ‘1%’ Dance Trial 2013, for her new solo single "1%" that will be released in June.

Participants will have a 90 seconds ver of the dance shot video to work with. You can get it with the same version or you can add yourself new things. Anyone can take part, regardless the sex, age or dancing experience.

The prizes are said to be big. #1 take 500.000yen (think about 5.000 dollars or 3.800 euros. and think about nearly +400 singles!!) and a nice chance to be in the MV of Tomochin's next solo work. Oh my Gosh!! I wish I could get into this too. #2 gets some appearances in media(magazines, etc.). #3 gets autographed stuff from Tomochin herself. Each winner will embark with Tomochin in “CLUV Tomo. ~DANCE TRIAL 2013 Edition~“ and will be part of a release event of the single.

More might be announced on a special site.

After the performance of Onore Napoleon on 6th, she didn't feel well and was announced that she was suffering from a mild heart attack. Then she was sent quickly to hospital.

She also resigned from the stage play, Miyazawa Rie will be her replacement.

Amami is currently resting at home. Her agency didn't yet placed a date of her return.

Also, she officially apologized for all the worries she've caused. She said that she really believed that her health was good, thought it wasn't actually. She wants to come back as soon as possible.

CL to make her solo debut.

CL will debut solo. Woah! Nice! Congratz!! Her debut solo release will be released on May's 28th.

CL is third member of 2NE1 to release solo things. Dara had a career before 2NE1 and Bom released 2 solo singles, last two years. 

It has been reported that CL prepared for this since the beginning of the year and I, personally, am very happy for her. Her solo parts in usual 2NE1 songs are always awesome. She's a rapper, a voice. She's the image center and usually the center of the group. She deserves a solo career too.

Hope Minzy will go solo sometime in future too.

Sasshi to produce Matsumura Kaori

The awesome Sasshi has been announced to produce Matsumura Kaori, the lifetime honorary Kenkyuusei. Matsumura is set to release a solo single this summer.

The single will be released under an unknown new label, named Nishiki Dori Records.

I wonder how this will end out. Matsumura stated that it was decided 5 minutes before broadcasting the annoucement. Laugh out lout right here.

T-ara N4 to debut in USA??

Our awesome Kpop is just screaming out and most of it going outside. T-ara N4 will possibly debut in USA too!! But it is not confirmed.

It's all because of our sweet Dani, that is going to join group sometime in soon future(hope so!!). She knows personally the awesome soloist Chris Brown. She has been presenting him T-ara's music so he knows them somehow. He said that he would be interested in singing together with them, but nothing is out yet.

Absolutely NoThing Is Decided!!

Bad luck!! But hope there's always.

Kitarie ends her concurrency position.

Kitahara Rie performed her last stage in SKE48, on May's 9th, ending the concurrency with SKE48 Team S. Oba Mina will take her place, herself joining Team KII. I will Minarun good luck and hope she will do her best as Kitarie did. She will go back to being only part of Oshima Team K.

Personally, I am happy for her that she will finally be able to focus on Team K. Concurrency is a hard thing. As I said, good luck to Minarun and Welcome Back!! Kitarie!

Nakagawa Shoko new single details.

Nakagawa Shoko just released some details about her new single, Zoku Konton. I don't know how that translates, but it sounds interesting.

It has a dark, rock theme. And as you see, the promoting picture is with Shoko wrapped in black ribbon. It looks interesting and it remembers me but a succubus in an anime, which had a photo of herself wrapped in pink ribbon. Both, actually naked.

Seems that Shoko also dyed her hair. Nice!!

The single will be released on June's 5th.

The theme is the "chaos".

Komori Mika graduating + that stuff with the new ex-AKB48 kenkyuusei Nogizaka46 member.

Komori Mika is graduating. This would hit Bon(-san) in face. A big punch, as he's a Komorin oshi. This means also a hit for me. She's cute, beautiful, popular and enough talented to be the only Kenkyuusei added to Namida Surprise! senbatsu, which was a true shock.

I am supporting her to keep on the path she chose. She wants to study abroad, probably for university or something like that. I am happy that she could decided what's best for her. And I am going to miss her. KOMORIIIIIIINNN!!!

I was talking above about Komorin in Namida Surprise! senbatsu, which was a shock. Well, that was a true shock. But a former member to re-join isn't something that interesting. If the girl is talented then she can take all auditions possible.

For example, Kikuchi Ayaka, a.k.a Ayarin(or something), she got fired because of a purikura made together with a fan was leaked on, just like this girl (Nishikawa Nanami), and re-auditioned 3-4 generation later. This girl just re-auditioned at one sister group, this one being the rival group, etc!

No surprise from the N46 girl, who should care about this??!! Really sad for Komorin,but supporting her and I want all the best for her!

NMB48 announces new single

On May 3rd, NMB48 announced that they will release their 7th single.The most of the details are still unknown however it is known that the single will be released on June's 19th.

The single was announced my NMB48 theater manager Kaneko Tsuyoshi during group's handshake event at  Pacifico Yokohama.

Kaneko Tsuyoshi stated: "It has been a long time since their last single, however their first album, Teppen Tottande!, which was released not long time ago, has sold over 500,000 copies. It became a hit thanks to everyone. The title and other details are still undecided, but we would like to work at our best with the staff and the members."

Then Tsuyoshi called Team BII on stage. Team BII is the only team who couldn't sell out the tickets at AKB48 and sister groups'  ‘Omoidaseru Kimitachi e ~AKB48 Group Zenkouen~‘ (May 2 – 25, Tokyo Dome City Hall). Captain Kamieda Erika stood out and commented: "We were very frustated, but past weeks we realized that we were supported by so many people. We won't waste the 'do your best' we were given. We won't lose to the frustration.We will leave people thinking why the tickets didn't sold."

Keep tuned for more details that are going to be out soon.
