Sakura Mankai

Today during the Smile Sensation release event (and I believe the third anniversary of S/mileage) It was announced that Kana and Akari would be having Twitter accounts. It's for a promo campaign for their new single Atarashii Watashi ni Nare!/Yattaruchan. This is what their accounts look like: You can see the profile pictures for probably Yatteruchan! Here are the links to their twitter accounts: Nakanishi Kana Takeuchi Akari Kana made her first tweet:

In Japan it's already the 21st of May. Which means it's the last day with Tanaka Reina as a member of Morning Musume. Reina has been a member of Morning Musume for as long as I am fan. She never was one of my favorites, although I really love her voice. When she announced she was graduating, I wasn't suprised. She has her own band now and she had been in Morning Musume for so long. Still every time a member goes, it makes me very sad. I can imagen Masaki being really upset, because she loves Reina very much. Reina, I hope your live as a band member will make you happy and I hope to hear lots of you! Omedetto on your graduation!

Ayumi just announced on her blog, that she will be getting her first photobook in July. As a big fan of Ayumi, I'm very pleased to see she is getting a photobook. And July is very soon!  I always thought Ayumi would be one of the first to get a photobook. She was amazing in all the photoshots she has done until now.  Below is the preview she shared on her blog.   I think it's great more girls are getting their own photobooks. Ayumi is very pretty and a lot of fans will really enjoy this photobook.
