Shocking News on Country Girls

Hello!Project announced some big changes coming up for Country Girls.
As you all know, playing manager Tsugunaga Momoko will be graduating at the end of this month.
Country Girls will start prefoming as a 5-nin unit until the end of the summer.
When the summer ends Yamaki Risa and Ozeki Mai will focus on school, while Morito Chisaki, Yanagawa Nanami and Funaki Musubu will all join different groups within Hello!Project.
Country Girls will only be active during vacations and school breaks. 
This also means that the group won't release any singles, the songs that they release will be digital singles. 

What this actually means is that Country Girls will become a sub-unit, with members from other groups and members who are only active when school allows them to be. It is not know which groups Chii, Yanami and Musubu will join or if they will stay togheter. More information will be provided on a later date.

This is really sad and weird news. 
It's quite terrible to see Country Girls becoming a sub-unit like this and their members going to different group or being less active. It is really amazing that Risa and Mai will be focussing on their studies and it is admirable. Yet it's such sad news... I wonder in what group(s) the other three girls will get into and how they will change the dynamics. I will be looking forwards to Country Girls appearing once in a while though...

[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.

It was announced that Morning Musume's 12th generation member Ogata Haruna will be graduating from Morning Musume and Hello!Project. Ogata will graduate at the end of Morning Musume '18's Spring Tour at Nippon Budokan on June 20th. It was stated that she wants to focus on her education as she didn't get into University last year. 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!
