So, it's been a while since I updated this blog, and many news has been flowing. I wanted to share it with you guys but I've been so busy for the exam, and too many projects too. Finally, I already have a vacant time to update this blog.
So, this time, since many news are flowing around, I want to post an entry with the news of this group and that group (only in H!P of course). It'll be from the newest to the oldest news I missed. First, will be the Morning Musume.
1. Takahashi Ai Being the Lead Actress for the Valentine Drama "Koi Choco-Bitter Sweet Angel"
It's been announced that Ai-chan will be the lead actress for this Valentine Drama entitled "Koi Choco- Bitter Sweet Angel" (Eng: Chocolate Love-Bitter Sweet Angel). It's good to hear that Ai-chan will be part of a drama, a valentine drama, so it might be related to some romance and love. Her co-star is Sakurada Dori.
Ai-chan's also in a conference with Sakurada Dori to promote the drama.There are some photos taken during the conference too.
and there's a short preview of this valentine drama:

2. 9th Generation Members First Official Photos
The awaited official profile pictures for the MM 9th Generation Members has been added to the H!P site. It's great to see the new gen profile pictures right now, it makes fans know them a lot more better.
The four members got a very incredibly cute pose. Mizuki looks a lot more professional with her poses. Erina really showing her modelling skills. Kanon's the best one, she smiles innocently cute. Riho has a lot of confidence just by looking at her picture.
The members are looking great with their very first official profile pictures. Anyway, goodluck for them to the future. Hopefully, they'll start a very good beginning.
3.Takahashi Ai Graduating from Morning Musume and Hello!Project
This news has been spread out around the whole world, but I still want to share this to you guys.
During the H!P concert last January 8, 2011, there's been an announcement made about Ai-chan who'll graduate in the end of Morning Musume's Autumn Concert.
Here's Tsunku's Statement
This is the comment regarding Takahashi Ai’s graduation from Morning Musume
Thank you for your continual support as always.
As announced directly herself on the stage of January 9th’s show at Nakano Sunplaza,
5th generation member, Takahashi Ai will be graduating from both Morning Musume and Hello! Project in Morning Musume’s concert tour this fall.
When the proposal for Kamei Eri’s graduation was made last year,
I told Takahashi Ai, “It’s about time you should consider the timing of your own graduation and what you want to pursuit afterward” as an advice.
The 5th generation members will have joined Morning Musume for 10 years.
Takahashi Ai is the 6th leader and has been in this position for 3 years and 7 months.
Takahashi Ai holds the record for being the longest in the group and the longest to hold the leader position.
Looking back, she has honestly carried the responsibility for all this time.
(In no disrespect to all former members and leaders of the group…excuse me)
I have talked with her about various things, such as her activities afterward
As announced in the new year concert, her graduation will be in Morning Musume’s Autumn concert tour,
this was the right time to make the announcement.
Since there are still more than half a year to go,
the 9th generation members have to familiarize themselves with Morning Musume’s music
and dances, to become self aware that they are part of the group.
Takahashi plans to properly finish her job as leader in the mean time.
Please be looking forward to what will become of Morning Musume.
Takahashi Ai will continue to be active in music, theater, and live events after her graduation.
Details will gradually be released.
Also, after Takahashi Ai’s graduation, Niigaki Risa will assume the leader position of the group,
and become the longest active member of Morning Musume

Takahashi Ai’s comment
It has been decided that, I, Takahashi Ai, during Morning Musume’s concert tour this Autumn,
will be graduating from Morning Musume and Hello! Project.
At the time when Kamei Eri, JunJun and LinLin’s graduations were decided,
Tsunku-san told me, “It’s about time Takahashi should think about your own graduation’s timing!”
which has gotten me thinking.
I will have been in Morning Musume for 10 years comes this August,
So I thought it will be a good time! to graduate in the Autumn Morning Musume concert tour.
As there are still around 9 months left, I will do my best as leader until that time to shape up this new Morning Musume.
I will be affectionate to the newly added 9th generation members as I try to teach them various things, everyone please rest assured.
Well, it's a little bit expected that Ai will graduate soon, but not this soon. I'm shocked hearing this news, since we just got the new members and Ai-chan, the leader, will graduate. She'll graduate around August or October, so, we can still expect for some new singlea with the new 9-nin MM.
After Ai-chan's graduation, Gaki will take place as the leader. As for Ai-chan, she'll continue her work in the music and theatre world.
Anyway, here are some pictures and a clip of her announcement

So, that's the latest for now. I'll continue updating news as long as I got the news and have time to post them.
The 9th generation members of Morning Musume have been revealed. They are:
Fukumura Mizuki (14)
Ikuta Erina (13)
Suzuki Kanon (12)
Sayashi Riho (12)
The results seems to be expected, except about adding an egg member which sounds even great. I'm glad that they're the ones who are selected, especially Riho, since she's the one that I noticed as one of the most talented of the 5 finalists, and totally catch the attention of the fans quickly. As for Erina and Kanon, I'm glad that they're the ones since they have this talent that catches everyone's attention too. Adding an egg seems to be a little bit surprising since they're not featured in the Bijo Gaku audition special videos, especially the ones where the finalists had a record and a choreography dance for the final. Anyway, maybe they had their special audition since they already had an experience and been part of the H!P performances.
I'm not really familiar about Mizuki, all I know about her is she has been part of the Shugo Chara Egg. I can see in her that she'll help MM be more successful along with the other 9th gen members. I'm going to go find out about her more, who knows, maybe she'll be part of my Top Favorite Idol list.
I just found two photos where the 9th gen members have been revealed. It was from the H!P winter concert tour today, January 2, 2011.
As we can see, the four girls stood up front of the H!P stage along with Ai-chan and Gaki. Mizuki seems to be surprised(as what I can see). The three girls seems to be developing each other as friends, they seems to be so close.
Anyway, congratulations to the four new girls, hopefully they'll brighten our hearts up. We may expect that they'll perform someday soon, or maybe they'll be part for the Momusu next single already. That's possible, since the next single has not yet been announced. Their official profile pictures(in the H!P page) may be or possibly be revealed this next few days. I'll keep myself in touch and update it to you sooner.
The news about the 9th generation audition has been released and revealed more details about the finalists several days ago. I offer you guys my huge apology for not updating this due to some difficulties and I don't have the feeling to write about anything until today. But anyway, since I'm back, I'll tell you guys more about this tonight.
So there are 5 finalists out of 9,000 applicants for this audition, and I'm glad to hear that more news have been updated ever since the day Eririn, Junjun, and linlin graduated. This news was fully revealed the day after the trio graduated (well, I expected that they'll be introduced in the Graduation concert)
here are some snapshots I can share to you:
I think the finalists are only five, since there are some footage of the audition where they're performing individually and there's a footage that they dance as a group, as how I can tell. The third girl above appeared in the Jc&Jk audition this year and got a chance to appear/perform in the momusu's fashionable play just this year. Her name is Riho Sayashi. Based on my sources, she's still 11 or 12. I can't really tell.
I'm glad to hear that she tried out for the audition, and hopefully, she'll pass and be part of Morning Musume. In the news, no Hello!Pro eggs passed the audition (not really sure, but we'll see in the next update), which is somewhat disappointing especially to the fans..I'm not so sure about these finalists though, but I'll tell you guys more about it as soon as official news will be released. For now, these are the things that I can share you.
Oh, anyway, here are the videos I was talking about earlier. A footage of the audition, and the other one where the 5 girls performed in from of Tsunku.
