Meet Kobushi Factory!

It was about time that the new Kenshuusei group got a name and here it is:
Kobushi Factory
Kobushi has two meanings: Kobushi Magnolia (which is a tree that represents the coming of spring and grace) but it also means the strenght of a fist! Factory was putt behind it in memory of Berryz Koubou, cause it makes the new name look and feel a bit the same.
Shimizu Saki helped with picking the name and noted how much this group makes her think of Berryz Koubou when they were founded. Because of this and the name Kobushi Factory is seen as the succesor of Berryz Koubou.

The girls also got new profile pictures, which you can see after the break:

[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!
