Oh, good point. You’re right, you did handle the blog posts nicely. I was thinking more of the snippet of…what was that, WOTACHAT? Where you were teasing someone who seemed upset about Erika graduating. Oh, and I should clarify-I meant to be rather tongue-in-cheek about the karma comment. It wasn’t meant as a serious jibe, just somewhat ironic that you were on the other end of that situation so quickly.

Anyway, it’s good to see you seem to have perked up some. I enjoy visiting your site.

I agree with Mozenator, having met Aika @ Ax and I also love her single on Platinum 9. She’s not my fave (the only #1 for me is Miya), but I think she gets alot of bad cred. After AX there were a lot of us (JPH!P sters) that stepped up and admitted we had done her wrong and that she’s a sweetheart.
She’s not the prettiest or has the best voice. She does a damn good job and works frikkin hard for ALL the Morning Musume fans, not just for the 3 of us.(or 4 now)
Since I’m new to Hip/J-pop, I haven”t had to go through a graduation before. Koha will be my first. I am sad for her to be leaving Morning Musume, but am also excited to see what she will become next.
Life is pain and change we deal and we move on to whatevers next.

I like Aika.

In fact, because of all this bashing, she’s my #1.

Gaki is down to #2 and Eri is #3.

Aika, in person, one foot in front of me at the autograph session in LA, was nothing short of breathtaking kawaii sweetness. She spoke to me first, when there was supposed to be no talking (last session) and made a cute little joke about herself in the poster I brought from home to have signed. She is very uniquely beautiful in person and reminded me of silent movie starlets faces. I see her personality coming out more and more, which is unique and all her own, unlike the genki/ubercute thing Reina and Sayu do which has always been the same. For years now.

I will miss Koha. Long Live Aika!

Well that sucks ass. While Koha was never my fave, I still adored her. Seriously, watch Sexy Boy PV and then let it hit you what we are losing. She is a great member. I am not sure how they will fill her shoes. She simply needs to be there. She is part of the masterpiece. I love her parts in Onna, especially. I can only think this was her desire to leave and that Tsunku is letting her have what she asked for. I wish her the best. She will be missed but it sounds like she will not disappear to the fans. It sounds like there is more to come for her in the spotlight. I feel bad for my #1 mate, Shirow over there in the UK. Koha is his #1 fave and I respect it a great deal.

If you are reading this, mate, fair dinkum, within 7 days from this moment a shipment will enter the mail system. How long it takes… hell I might express international mail it. Yeah, I will. You deserve it. Be sure to chill the beers before trying them. (the Irish beers I am sending in addition to CD’s, DVD’s, and a flash drive of 250GB loaded).

LOL, I ordered Chii’s just before release, already gots. I really have to cut down on the spending if I ever want to save up enough to actually goto Japan and see some concerts there.

So it seems it was Tsunku’s decision and not Koha’s. Hell! Online have a translation from Tsunku’s blog where he says she was a bit puzzled at first. Yes her, me, thousands of other people and H!P’s bank manager.

“I -am- sorry that her fans seem to think this is the best time to slag the rest of Morning Musume like 4 year olds.”

Oh I don’t know. There’s never a bad time to slag off Mitsui. Personally I never used to. I’ve given her two years to bed in but recently I’ve just given up trying to give her the benefit of the doubt. She’s exceptionally annoying except for the times she’s invisible.
