V-u-den's disbanding? I was expecting this next year!
Yeah, I did think that V-u-den would break up soon-ish. But not this soon! How dare they go speeding up time (>_>;)! Maybe they're doing this to get back for me predicting the future, since they are graduating in June, and their last concert could possibly be on my birthday (I doubt it though, my birthday is very early in the month)? My assumptions are all most likely false, though. V-u-den was never a favorite of mine, so UFA/Tsunku would have no reason to do such a thing to me.
Anyway, enough with my rambling!
It is unfortunate that they are disbanding, really. I am most concerned with Erika and Yui's future...I don't really care much for Rika, and her future has a much more definitive route; Ongaku Gatas. Perhaps they will each get their own groups? I can imagine a group with Erika and Yui together with a couple other girls...but I don't really know who would be part of it. Its hard to imagine anyone else but Rika XD.
Why the disbandment? They seemed to be pretty active for a not "big 3" group (Momusu, Berryz, C-ute). Although...Their sales haven't been very good, have they? I didn't really like Jaja Uma Paradise, and its obvious that neither did Japan <_<. They were never very popular, but they certainly were not a bad group.
Perhaps its just a need of change for the girls. Tsunku's message makes it sound like he's planning on having the girls doing different work, as a "Coming of age"-thing. While that seems odd, perhaps Erika and Yui will be put into groups where they wont have to fight for attention with all of the camera that Rika hogs XD.
I am optimistic but wary!
