Happy 31st Birthday to Yasuda Kei~^^~!!!

Hello everyone today(12/06) is Kei-chan's 31st birthday!!!
Let's all wish her a very very happy and lovely birthday~^^~!

Like everyone knows, Kei-chan joined Morning Musume as one of the 2nd generation members in 1998! And after Fukuda Asuka graduated, Kei-chan got almost every lines of Fukuda's~!!!

And here's some interething trivias about her:

* She is skilled in several musical instruments, including the saxophone and the
piano

* She attended Kimitsu Shogyo (Commercial) High School in Futtsu City, Chiba Prefecture, but dropped out to pursue her dreams in the entertainment industry

* She worked in a McDonald's restaurant in her hometown, until 1998

* Has a habit of biting her lip

* Her favorite spot is her living room

* She was famously known as the "grandma" of Morning Musume, and is the frequent target of jokes from TV hosts and other members.

* She is the third oldest girl to join Morning Musume and the oldest to join under normal circumstances (Fujimoto Miki of the 6th generation was added to Morning Musume after failing the 4th generation audition and was brought back as a soloist before being added, and 8th generation member Junjun was added after an audition that was not even known by the members of the group themselves.)

* As of 2005, she is the only graduated member of the popular Japanese girl group "Morning Musume" not to have a solo career

I hope all of her dreams and wishes will come true in the future~~!
