Kobushi Factory released covers for their first album!

Kobushi Factory will release their first album "Kobushi Sono Ichi" at the end of this month.
The album will be released in 3 version (limited A & B and Regular edition). 
Today they released all three covers, let's have a look:

Limited A
Limited A is a cover for the album with the DVD, so naturally the format for it is different. I really like how they shot the album covers on a location (believe it or not, this doesn't happen a lot). Yet the lighting is really bad and it feels like a photo taken during a release event or something. I like the idea of this, but it's poorly done. 

Limited B
Where are the girls? Oh way in the back? Okay, again I am all for the location shots, but this cover is about 60% location and 40% members. Kobushi has beautiful members, please use them! I like the play with colors (the blue and green), but I really don't like how small they are. 

Regular 
Oh Regular is nice. I quite like the action picture and the girls look quite good. Again not a big fan of how small they are and overall the cover is really boring, but still this is quite nice. 

Overall
Short and sweet: quite boring and poorly done covers. The girls are very small and the pictures are bland and have way to much lighting going on. They get a lot of point for location shooting, yet urgh they could have been so much better... Imagen a cover with the girls holding the bows as in regular, but with closeups of ever members right eye (do you get where I am going at?). Ah well, they are not horrible or ugly. They are just boring.

[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.

[BREAKING] Ogata Haruna announces graduation

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!
