Fukuda Kanon will Graduate from Angerme and H!P this fall

Image
Angerme (S/mileage)'s first generation member Fukuda Kanon announced her graduation on today's Hello!Station. She will be graduating from Hello!Project and Angerme this fall.  Ever since the 3rd gen was announced, I kind knew this was coming. I didn't know if it was going to be Kanon or Ayaka, but Kanon was the one I was thinking about most.  Kanon has been in H!P for a lot of years and I can totally understand that she wants some time for herself or just wants to go back to a normal life. Kanon and Ayaka both love the original 4-nin S/mileage and had a hard time accepting the 2nd gen and the leave of Saki and Yuuka.  It makes me sad to see her go, but I don't want her to be an idol if she doesn't want it anymore.  Edit: Kanon will be taking a break from University until she graduates from ANGERME and will continue to study afterwards.

It seems like H!P opened up a Hokkaido Audition! A fast translation of the information provided on the site: Hello!Project is searching for new members limited to Hokkaido! It's a large recruiting in which we search for girls who love to sing and dance and want to be active in Hokkaido. (However the audition is open to members from Sapporo too). We are looking forwards to your applicatsion! Eligibility: You have to be between 10 and 17 years old on the first of June 2015.

Kumai Yurina started blogging again!

Image
Ex- Berryz Koubou member Kumai Yurina started blogging again! When she graduated Berryz Koubou she stated that she would stop blogging and focus on her study. So it's really suprising to see her blog again, but as a Fan I am so happy to hear from her! Yurina did appear in some blogposts from other members in the meanwhile: But seeing her blog herself is really amazing.  It did make me sad to read that she couldn't listen to any Berryz songs or watch any video's. I hope she will be alright and take everything in her own time.  It must be hard and she must miss Berryz Koubou and the members a lot. But I am really happy to be updated on Yurina. I hope to see more of her and I actually hope she will do something I can support her in!  http://ameblo.jp/kumai-yurina-blog/
