Graduation Gift to Kamei Eri, Linlin, and Junjun

So, I prepared this entry few days ago, and luckily finished it today. It is kind of long, but hope you enjoy..
Enjoy guys!
So, they will be graduating tonight in the Morning Musume's final day of their autumn concert tour 2010, and I decided to give them an entry gift. It's kinda sad  that they'll be really graduating in this day, their final day in Morning Musume and Hello!Project. But hope they'll spent their final times happily(even if there will be tears), and enjoy it with their hearts.

I was planning to make a graduation tribute for each of them and post it in YT, but I think I'm not going to have enough time to make it, so I decided to make a slideshow for each of them. Hope you'll like it. 
[Scroll down if you want to see it.]

Let's have a little flashback when they joined Momusu.

Kamei Eri
Eririn joined Momusu and H!P in late 2003 along with Tanaka Reina and Michishige Sayumi as the 6th generation members. Shabondama was her debut single along with the other 6th gen members. Towards late 2004, Kamei is thought to have opened up after receiving her own segment on the Japanese variety show Hello! Morning, where she had been a regular since her debut. In the segment, known as "Eric Kamezō no Maido Arii!", she, along with her co-host Yuko Nakazawa, and most often several guests promote the latest products from the Hello! Project. In 2004, Kamei appeared in the 2004 Hello! Project shuffle units unit H.P. All Stars. She was also involved in Morning Musume Sakuragumi when Morning Musume was split into two groups. Her segment was removed from the show in the winter of 2005, but she still stars in the rest of the show as a regular. Initially, Kamei struggled the most out of the sixth generation to create a presence for herself. She got her big break playing the role of field reporter Elizabeth Kyamei on the HelloPro News segment on Hello! Morning, showing her comedic side and breaking her out of her shell. She has since tackled a number of comedic roles, with notable favorites like her parody of Yon-sama (Korean actor ). She even got her own corner on the revised HelloPro Hour corner as salesman Eric Kamezou in "Eric Kamezou no Maido Ari. 
In 2009, Kamei was put in the group Tanpopo as the fourth generation along with fellow Morning Musume member Aika Mitsui, Berryz Kobo member Yurina Kumai and C-ute member Chisato Okai. On August 8, 2010, Kamei's graduation from Hello! Project was announced by Tsunku on his blog and at that day's Hello! Project concert. Due to her suffering from atopic dermatitis, she was unable to continue her activities and planned to graduate on the last day of the Autumn Tour in 2010.

During her Morning Musume years, she released 12 photobooks. 2 PBs along with the 6th gen, and 10 solo PBs of her.
