So I wake and check the news in the Hello! Project world, to see that half of Hello! Project is graduating in March.
What...!? Its not as though some of their graduations weren't expected (Nakazawa, Melon, Yasuda), but did they ALL have to graduate??
Even the young'uns on Ongaku Gatas are graduating...!
And Yossieeeee D: D: D: And Abe! and Matsuura!!! and...everyone....
I really honestly, do not know how to react. I don't think this big of a graduation has ever happened within Hello! Project, or other idol groups for that matter. This must be sad for them too. Some of them have spent literally 10 years within Hello! Project, and now they have to look for some other label to continue their career (or start a quieter life).
And what will happen of the new unit HANGRY&ANGRY? I guess they must be a one-shot group.
...At this point in time, my guess is that the more popular girls (Abe, Fujimoto, Matsuura, Melon Kinenbi, Ongaku Gatas (?)) Will release one last single before March, as a good bye.
But after March...I have no idea. I can see Matsuura, Fujimoto, Abe, Yossie, Ishikawa, the younger Gatas, and maybe Yaguchi getting a new sort of career and being sort of successful in the future. I don't know about the others, though. D:
It is a sad day...
Is it because I was late with my review of How To Use SEXY? *sniffle* Don't worry, I know thats not it <_<
So thats why she wasn't going to be in the Hello! Project Winter Concert...She's going to be continue her career with another agency, so I'm not really sad about the news. Its more...shocking to me, than anything.
Wanting to be taken seriously as an artist isn't a bad thing, in fact, its probably a good choice. The Disney Channel reminds me of Hello! Project in this situation. Several actors are too old to be playing the roles they're playing, and few leave for different companies so they can play a role their age. Gocchin sings and makes much more mature music than Hello! Project is aiming for, so her leave is probably the best thing for her. I'm happy she's decided to move on :D
On the other hand...I'm not so sure about this. In her graduation speech, she sounded unsure about where she was going to go. So...maybe she doesn't have a specific label to back her up yet. Optimistic Hotaru says "It'll be okay, she'll find a company." But...Optmistic Hotaru said something similar with Aibon, and look at her now...so maybe Negative Hotaru's "Maybe she wont find a company that'll take her and she'll just end her singing career." will happen. I don't think it'll be that drastic though. If she doesn't find a company that will take her (which seems very unlikely) she'll probably be invited onto radio shows or something, so she might not die out completely. There is hope!
Unfortunately, everything is so uncertain! I'm confused! :( Regardless, I will continue to support Goto Maki and hope for the best.
