Happy 5th Anniversary, 5gen!!
5 years ago on 26th August, 4 new stars joined Morning Musume, and one of them, later has became the princess of this site. This site exists only because of her. Aichan, thanks for joining Musume and thanks for coming into my life! ^-^
Since this is 5gen’s “birthday”, let’s have a look at the day that they were born? XD
26th August 2001 – 5th Generation Member Audition Special
Probably first close up. Hmm!! Already very cute!! What are you thinking, Aichan??
The audition video. Just to remind you, the 9 “pre-musume” went to the audition for 4 days 3 night, and take singing, dancing and acting lessons.
On the day they arrived to the camp, they had a voice training. For some reason, Aichan had a towel round her neck. (?)
Iya… Kawaii Y Y Y Y Y
After the lesson Aichan was practicing by herself with her MD. Kya~
Look!! Aichan with Mic back then already give you a “normal” feeling! Um um, Aichan go perfectly with Mic.
Ah… forgot the lyrics…
After that Aichan was not happy with herself and she cried.
After all the tough training and lesson, we come back to the stage. It was time for Tsunku to announce who passed the audition. First one got called out was Ogawa, second was Niigaki, and our princess was the Third. Look at her when she heard her name being called!
Aichan: "e? really? Did i hear my name??"
Here, is the start of a big bright star.
you know, I really want to just lined up all the 79 pictures I captured when I was watching the audition...!! XDDDDD I can't believe how fast time pass. There are tooooooo many memories "with" 5gen that I will probably flood up the site, so let's not do it. XDDDDDDD but ah, 5 years already. But hey, 5 years isn't long!! Aichan, I will still be supporting you 5, 10, 15, 20, 25... years later!!

Hello everyone!! Today is a very special day! Do you know what day it is? Can give you a hint... got to do with the number 5. Got it yet?? If you still haven't gotten it then shame on you!! Especially when got that picture up there, should make it very obvious. XD
Anyway, today is the 5th anniversary for Morning Musume's 5th generation!! Happy anniversary, 5gen!!
I remember when I first saw 5gen in the audition camp 5 years ago, I didn't really think much about them at all. Moreover didn't like them and I didn't think anything about aichan... (gomen, aichan! m(_ _)m) I don't really have that much to say since I didn't "start off" with aichan, but 5 years later, I am happy and proud to be typing this message up as an aichan fan!!
Maybe I didn't like her from the start, but I think it also shows how good aichan is, that even though I didn't think much about her, she still kept coming to me and showing me how good she was. Now look!! She converted me into her fan!! XD
But it's been 5 years since aichan and the rest of 5gen joined musume. While I haven't been there for the whole time, these 5 years have been great!! And I hope to enjoy more of aichan in the time to come!!

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 = 95 generation joined (+4) = 13 (back then the highest number)goto maki graduate (-1) = 126th generation joined (+4) = 16 (highest number so far)yasuda kei graduate (-1) = 15abe natsumi graduate (-1) = 14tsuji nozomi, kago ai graduate (-1) = 12iida kaori graduate (-1) = 11yaguchi mari quitted (-1) = 107th generation joined (+1) = 11ishikawa rika graduate (+1) = 10See? 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.)

yay! kiu-chan update!
yesterday's zoom-in, the host guy went to see Ribbon no Kishi, and after the show, he went to give 2 original soft-toy to aichan and nacci.
well, the soft toys are cute, but aichan is cuter. XD
In the interview, the host asked aichan if it is hard to act a male role, but aichan said she found it harder to act the female role because she needs to be very careful not to fall down (because of the dress)
and then the host asked if they re-born, they want to be male or female, and aichan's reply was:
E?! male?! MAJI?!
ah, but aichan is cute, so no matter she is girl or boy, she will be popular :)
and if aichan really become boy... then I can... *muted* ... XD
when the guy asked why, aichan say she didn't want to be female anymore, she seemed to have enough.
E?! MAJIDE?! aichan, you are only 19 and you already get sick of being a girl???
Oh! the host seemed to be thinking the same thing as I did... asking aichan how old. XD
Well, well~ no matter you are girl or boy, the way I feel towards you won't change ^-^ Kawa~ri~ Naku~ <3PS: Aichan cut her bangs short short, maji kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii <3

Yuki-chan here again for her haromoni review for this week! This week started off with some news about the musical, which has started of course and we get a quick peek at Sapphire!
I really can't wait to watch!! (don't know how many times I have said that already... =-=;;) While kiu-chan has been able to get more than a "peek" at Sapphire, I will have to wait for a few months... *sigh*...
Anyway, again not much happened in this haromoni but at least aichan was in the comedy segment this time!! And of course if aichan is there, then I will have caps even though it wasn't that interesting. But hey! Not interesting doesn't mean aichan isn't cute there, right? XD
Aichan's expressions were quite fun to see. Fun and of course... CUTE! XD Sometimes she laughed out loud...
Sometimes she got shocked...
And other times, she didn't know what the heck was going on. XD
Well, enough of the comedy segment. Aichan didn't get to win so let's move on from there, shall we~? Next was the children's game again and aichan had to drink a lot this week. I think 3 times she had to? XD She also made sure that other people who thought you could ride Densha Otoko had to go up and drink with her as well. XD
And, finally... even though her face was about to twist into disgust a few seconds later, aichan just looked too cute holding her drink. XDDDDD

Ribbon no Kishi the Musical Part 1
Hello from Kiu-chan back in Macau. (was to post this in Japan, but because of some "problem" i have after seeing the musical, i didn't managed to update until now)
Anyway, 8/5 and 8/6 i spent the whole day at Shinjuku Koma Gekijo, and 8/7 half day.
I don't think you need to ask what I was (or will be) doing there, because at the moment, there was only ONE show doing there that will be qualified to get posted on THIS SITE.
yayaya, I went to see Ribbon no Kishi the Musical. and of course, I got a lot of goods!!
well, picture of the goods, maybe later. But I want to talk about the Musical first.
Just in case you are the type that doesn't want to know anything about the muscial before you watch it - this post will be talking about the musical and so it will tell you more or less something about it. so if you are the don't want to know type, please do NOT continue reading this post. (though i am not going to go for what's happened in the musical)
Ok, let's talk about the total feeling of the musical first.
This musical is the most "musical" of Morning Musume.
Before, the so-called Musicals they have, is not quite a muscial.
- not enough songs
- costumes are not quite "musical"
- acting is just normal and not "musical"
- ... etc
but this one, is not just a REAL musical. and it is a brilliant real musical.
the setting, the costumes, the songs, the acting...
it isn't a IDOL MUSICAL, but in my opinion, a real musical, real entertainment.
I want to talk about every character in the show, and I am going to.
but in here, I am only going to talk about sapphire, other character please find in kiu-chan's blog.
Let's just talk about Sapphire here.
Ai-chan has take the role very seriously (of course!) and she acted Sapphire very good!
partly maybe it is always her dream to be on stage with Takaratuka,
she really does her best, the best she can on the stage.
no need to mention her talent in singing and dancing (she did off-key a bit when she cry while singing though).
if you ask me, i think she is so into the role that it make my hair stand.
it is soooo good that I almost mix Ai-chan and Sapphire up! (well, a little bit over? XD)
but ya, overall, Aichan did very very very well in the musical.
no matter how many i see it, or listen to the audio,
i don't get bored and i really love it a lot.
i can't wait for the DVD to come out for me to see it again.
if you have chance, you should go and see it.
even you live oversea, it really worth it to fly over to see it.
not to manage the goods are good! ^^
other characters are very good also, talks will appear in kiu-chan blog over the next few days... hopefully :D
