Morning Musume in Hunan province??

So news from Reina's blog is that Morning Musume is in China in the Hunan province. I do believe this is where Junjun was born. So I wonder if Tsunku is going to try to sell this "going back to China" thing a bit better by having some more interaction between the two places for Junjun and Linlin.


I still am unsure how I feel about graduating Linlin off. Kamei for medical reasons I could deal with and then with Junjun since I figured she would be coming sooner or later because she was older than Linlin. But Linlin does have one of the better voices in Musume despite her short comings when it comes to faster songs. But she is the ballad queen! Ah well. I guess I have 4 months to get use to the idea?

In these pictures the girls are eating dinner. Reina and Aika's reactions to the food is awesome.

Edit: Looks like on the plane ride to China Kamei and Sayumi sat next to each other on the plane as did Reina and Aika! Oh be still my little pairs heart. ♥♥

New Format and shocking news

I, oh man, I was thinking about changing the formant of this blog to a literal fan blog. So I will comment on things Aika does and blog posts and pictures. You know more fun stuff so it's not so much me reporting to you fans as much as it is a fan blogging about Aika stuffs.

But today...when I woke up this morning...I was not expecting to be in tears is all I have to say. Umm so as an Aika fan commenting on the world of H!P I have to be in shock and awe of what I woke up to. A 9th generation is coming but at the loss of Kamei Eri, Junjun, and Linlin. I can understand Eri with a medical condition but from the looks of it about Junjun and Linlin it looks like that they were told a day before the announcement that they were going back to China. Which is my mind shows that they had no plans of going back to China any time soon. And I have said this before in my head when they first joined that when they would go back it would be together but I thought that was gone after 2008 when they seemed to fit so well into MM.

I will miss all three girls but Eri and Linlin the most. I am crushed and I just don't think my love for the singing aspect of Morning Musume will ever be the same without Eri in it.

The year of 2009

The year of 2009 was an exciting one for members of Musume as well as many other people. Some events were more exciting than others. But here is the list of the fun events from the year 2009!

First off who could forget the emotional graduation of the Elders Club from Hello! Project. Although Mitsui worked with few members of them she was still in the graduation.


Then Mitsui started of this year by being the only member to host Yorosen! for 2 weeks in a row on her favorite things: Pets! Included a large photo of her own dog Leo


Then another big thing is Mitsui was placed in her second subgroup: Gurdians 4 which out lasted the expected 2 single run the previous group had.


And who forget Musume's huge announcement that they were going to be heading to America for Anime Expo?!


And once she returned from the USA Mitsui took part in a stop animation film called Yume no Hakoniwa. It also featured Hello! Project members (past and present) Abe Natsumi, Iida Kaori, Tsuji Nozomi, Yasuda Kei, Yoshizawa Hitomi, Ogawa Makoto, Tokunaga Chinami, Kumai Yurina, Sugaya Risako, and of course Mitsui.


Next was Risa and Mitsui riding the giant spider in Yokohama which was originally used as display only. So they are some of the few people who ever got to ride it.


Then shortly after that was a reunion with former Musume members to perform Love Machine for former member Yaguchi Mari who was in a tricycle race as part of the hexagon channel.


Later this fall we had the FC bus tour with Koharu, JunJun, Reina and Mitsui. I believe there was 11-12 buses that brought around fans to hang with our girls. And a mini concert which had an Osaka Koi no Uta duet from Reika.


And of course there was the singles that made this year great! Starting off with Naichau Kamo which started the rend of solo shots for each girl. Than the #1 single Shouganai Yume Oibito than there was Nanchatte Renai, 40th single and it reached 70k. Finishing up this year was Kimagure Princess which was Mitsui's 10th single in Musume. A good year for Musume so far.



Than the most important thing in my mind this year had to have been the Nine Smiles tour. The tour that ended the longest stead line up in Morning Musume history. The graduation of Kusumi Koharu from Morning Musume. This is my mind has been the most emotional event of the whole year.


And those were some of the most important events in the year of 2009 for Mitsui. Honorable mentions would have to Mitsui's placement in Tanpopo# as well as Musume's return (Mitsui's first) appearance on Music Station. It was a fun 2009 for me and Musume. So let's see were 2010 will take us!

Fanclub Bus Tour Goodies

(Photo sets and key chain from bus tour)

After an early morning class (reasons for which I have not updated as much) I headed to a friend's house to sign up for more classes next semester. After hours of trying to find classes I was browsing Hello! Online and I saw a link up for the FC Bus tour coming up this weekend with Mitsui, Koharu, Reina, and Junjun.


(Photo set holders, shirt with photo cards, and "Izu cake photo" from bus tour)
Clicking on it, not thinking too much about it, I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw (My friend on the other hand was confused with my reaction). All the girls are amazing looking (on average) but something about these sets are just amazing with Mitsui. She looks so great in a purple yukata. Her cute little face shines in this set truly.


(Izu event bag and a Mitsui fabric towel from bus tour)
I've never really considered getting a fabric towel before, I mean the one for P9D was awesome and I totally fell in love it but I didn't buy it. And the one for Nine Smiles was okay but being that purple is my favorite color I just can't go with out it. I think is a must buy! It's not up for ordering yet but it may be soon. So keep an eye out at the Hello Store USA or the local auction site.
