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...
I was looking on Ohta's Ebay Store (I don't know how to do link-y thingss *stupid*, so I'm not going to put up a link, since I can find his store by looking for it in ebay stores.) and saw a bunch of older Morning Musume singles. I originally was going to buy The Peace!, I WISH, and Renai Revolution 21, but unfortunately when I went to go buy the products, The Peace! was already sold. So I bought AS FOR ONE DAY, my first next-best-thing-pick, instead. I got them in the mail on Monday, but unfortunately, I was unable to post about them due to my crazy schedule last week (Drivers Ed, Band and such). Now I have the time!! Yayy.
I also have Koi no Dansu Site, which I bought at Acen (Anime Central, Anime convention in Chicago) last May. When I saw it while looking at CD's at the vendors, I just thought "This so old school! I wanna be a hardcore fan! XD" I was very excited. I'm still excited I had the single, but the overwhelming happiness has kinda passed.
Anywayy!!
I'll start the review-thing with I WISH.
(Rawr, Fuzzy Picture) I WISH has my favorite CD, it just...looks cool! The cover and inside page-y things are adorable and nicely done! Aibon is at her most adorable stage here, in my opinion....
Everyone looks good, the singles good...Its all good!!!
10/10
This single has the most boring CD, but the longest packet/jacket inside, with all of the portraits? on a spread thing-y. And Morning Musume are actually wearing two outfits, like Koi no Dansu Site, one outfit on the outside, a different on the inside.
I know almost the whole dance to this song....so I almost felt obligatory to buy this. Its a fun song, and a fun dance. Yasuda's huge purple hat in is quite amusing....
I think I'll have to give this a 10/10 too........(Why would I buy them if they weren't, though?)
And now, AS FOR ONE DAY.
AS FOR ONE DAY gets the award of having the most fun CD and Case. It had the smallest booklet though, which kinda surprised me since they seem to get bigger through the years. It also came with a laminated (I bought it used) papery thing that comes with the CD....I dunno what it is. But yeah! The Jackets extremely odd but colorful. Were they going for a Swedish kind of look? I have no idea, but its kinda fun (nothing like the PV, though.)
10/10
So, as you can tell, I am very pleased with my purchases from Ohta-san. I am happy I am able to add to my collection of Hello! Project goods, but am almost disappointed I didn't buy Berryz Koubou's new album instead (I guess I haven't totally given into Berryz Mania yet)!
