Today is the birthday of Berryz koubou's only graduated member Ishimura Maiha. She became 20 today, so Happy Birthday Maiha-chii. On Hello!Online there were some new pictures of Maiha and I was super happy to see them. Maiha looks so mature and beautiful. I wish she was still in Berryz.

Congratulations to the 9th generation members of Morning Musume. Today they had their 100th concert preformance as a part of Morning Musume.
