Umeda Erika to graduate from H!P and °C-ute

Sorry I haven't updated in oh-so-long.
Nothing much has happened.

Except THIS!
Umeda Erika is to graduate from C-ute (and Hello! Project) on the 25th of October, to become a fashion model.
Good on you, Erika!
C-ute wasn't giving you enough attention (I guess because you can't sing that well...) so it's a great to get the attention back on you!

Good luck in your modelling career! I'm sure you'll do great!

Wow, C-ute has gone from a 7-nin to a 6-nin to a 5-nin group all in one year...

Maybe this means the other girls will get more lines for once?

Maybe.

Farewell, Kanna.

It was announced yesterday on H!O that Arihara Kanna will no longer be a part of Hello! Project as of 9th July 2009.

To tell the truth, I was not suprised. In fact, I thought this might happen. Four months ago, Kanna left C-ute because of a bunion on her foot. People were suspicious because the usual recovery time for a bunion is usually only up to two months. But now, H!P have made it final, with not even a graduation ceremony for Kanna.

Farewell, Kanna, I will sincerely miss you, because C-ute will never be as good with only 6 people. Have fun with your private life, and remember all the fans that love you!

C-ute - Shochuu Omimai Moshiagemasu

Lately... I've been wishing it was Summer again. ;-; Australia is like, NEVER this cold.

And also, my friend has been pestering me to make a blog update, so here we are!

The PV for C-ute's "Shochuu Omimai Moshiagemasu" has come out (today?), and to tell the truth... I was really worried about it~ ;-;

I didn't particularly like the original version... but I thought 'Airi's in it, so it'll be okay!'

...

Not really.

Nakajima kinda killed it. And Airi's solos were... not so great.

But the dance dresses are cute, so it's okay. :D

I want Kanna to come back, so C-ute can be GOOD again...

Anyway, here's the video:
