Takamasa Sakurai passed away.

Incredibly sad news today, Takamasa Sakurai passed away this morning. 
He fell from a trainplatform at Nishi-Nippori Station and was hit by an uncoming train. 
Takamasa was rushed to the hospital, but was pronounced dead at arrival. 

Takamasa is well known in the foreign idol community for all his work with japanese idols. 
He has been posting a lot of interviews with idols and was present at a lot of foreign Japan events. 
He did a lot of interviews with H!P members.

I could not believe the news. I have been following Takamasa-san's interviews for quite a while now. He always had great articles and seemed such an amazing guy. 
I hope he will be resting in peace now. 

Here are some pictures of Takamasa-san with H!P members, 
Some H!P members posted about Takamasa-san and were really sad about his sudden passing.

[Breaking] Wada Ayaka announces graduation

Image
Hello!Project's and ANGERME's leader Wada Ayaka announced her graduation. She will be graduating at the end of ANGERME's Spring tour of 2019. Wada Ayaka is one of the longest serving Hello!Project members as the only 1st generation member of S/mileage/ANGERME and Hello!pro Egg's first generation still part of Hello!Project. Ayaka says she has been thinking about it for about a year. She will do her best for her last year as a member. Eventhough Ayaka has been a member of Hello!Project for so long, this announcement is so suprising. Especially since she won't be graduating for over a year.  One way or the other, I hope Ayaka gets to do what ever she wants with her life, as she has been giving is so much from hers.

Ogata wants to do a special program and Idol activities do not fit into something like that.  O My God. I can not believe a 12th generation member is already leaving! This is such sad news. Yet it is really amazing that Ogata choose the path for herself! Education is important. Let's support her and Morning Musume until the end!
