Aichan is getting a lot of attention recently. Somehow, I think she got the most attention recently since she debut. When morning musume normally (say in hello! morning) tend to go to the funny, comedy side, it is hard for Aichan to get attention because she doesn't know how to show people she is funny (<-- i use this way to say because Aichan IS funny herself, just she doesn't know).
Recently, the attention she is getting is mostly from Ribbon no Kishi. and since it is a performaning stuff, i guess this type of attention Aichan is more comfortable with?
Let's not go into Ribbon no Kishi too much and got off the track. please go to http://michirupi.blog51.fc2.com/ for more Ribbon no Kishi talks.
What mainly I want to talk about today, is that, is the attention going to change something.
On the next day after Konno graduate, the 8th generation news was on. I think many people also have this feeling: "So fast?!". I had this feeling also, but after I think about it, maybe it is not that fast. auditions should have started BEFORE Konno graduate. Why? because Ogawa is going to graduate just a month after. Morning Musume had dropped back to 8 people. and where you might not notice, this is the least number of members since Aichan's generation joined.
before 5th generation joined = 9
5 generation joined (+4) = 13 (back then the highest number)
goto maki graduate (-1) = 12
6th generation joined (+4) = 16 (highest number so far)
yasuda kei graduate (-1) = 15
abe natsumi graduate (-1) = 14
tsuji nozomi, kago ai graduate (-1) = 12
iida kaori graduate (-1) = 11
yaguchi mari quitted (-1) = 10
7th generation joined (+1) = 11
ishikawa rika graduate (+1) = 10
See? Since Aichan joined musume, the number of members had never gone down under 10 until recently. tsunku always like the number "10", somehow, we know that he won't just let musume stay small.
But is this the "change" i am concentrate about? nah, no way. I've been fans for long enough to not resist new members, what I am more concentrate is graduate and musume's future.
Other than Aichan who get a lot of attention, Miki, the other ace in the group have also started something else. All of you should already know that she is pairing up with Aya to form a group called GAM. most people thought that GAM would be a one-off group, but obviously, it is not. there are already announcement for their 2nd single (before the 1st one release). And Aichan, other than getting attention from Ribbon no Kishi, she has also (finally?) started some solo career. She has a solo song. Even though it is not releasing CD yet, but at least it's something, it's a start. (Moreover, I think it will be releasing as CD soon, because there is a news on hello! project official website saying people who buy all 3 Ecoken DVD, will have a chance to get Aichan's CD)
The 2 aces in musume are getting extra, non-group attention at the same time, will that be meaning something??
I am not worry about Aichan, or Miki going solo, but it is more of a concern to the group. While Reina and Eri are slowly getting more popularity than before, most fans of "morning musume" are fans of Aichan and Miki (just my opinion!), and if the solo work and attention means they are getting ready to graduate, morning musume will lose a big bunch of fans, that's for sure. if so, will the other girls left in the group going to handle ok??
Well, just a thought. Maybe things will get clearer after the 8 generation audition. (Somehow, if the audition going to let 4 girls in, there really might be a chance for the 2 to leave. Lesser if it's just 2.)
