Morning Musume- "Fantasy! Juuichi"

Morning Musume's 11th album title has been revealed to be "FANTASY! JUUICHI" It's English translation is "Fantasy! Eleven"

This caught me by surprise because I didn't really expect them to have another album released this year. Although I'm glad to hear the news.

The title's okay. It's a first to see no numbers in the title, but the "Juuichi" is the kanji/japanese of Eleven. So I guess that does count.

I don't know much so I'll re-post again if there's more info revealed.

Release Date: December 1

Bye Bye Junjun, Kamei & Linlin!!!

^That's the only picture of the trio together that I can find.

I'm sure everyone has heard of it, but I just wanna post it... and I'm planning on making something for them.

Kamei Eri will graduate due to her skin condition problem. I'm glad that she's not like other girls who will ignore their health and take it lightly. I'm gonna miss Kamei so much, but it was her decision to leave.

KAMEI ERI 

As Tsunku♂ said, I will graduate on the last day of the Autumn 2010 Tour from the Morning Musume。 to focus on my health. It is my decision but let me reassure you, my condition is not that serious. I just wanted to focus on my recovery for a while because lately, I was thinking a lot about how I could become a pretty woman. I took this decision with that in mind.

But I really love to do concerts so today and until the Autumn Tour, I am counting on you to sing, dance and have fun with me.

Thank you for your continued support.

Jun Jun & Lin Lin will graduate Morning Musume & H!P and continue their career in China.I wish them luck. I think them being part of Morning Musume helped their careers. I think China will welcome them back warmly. I hope they team up and become a singing duo in China :D They have my support.

Jun Jun

Since I came to Japan, I did and I learned so many things. Thank you so much.

But what really made me happy was to meet all of you, I am so thankful for this.

With this emotion in my heart, I want to make more and more happy memories with you. Until my graduation at the end of Morning Musume。 Autumn Tour, I intend to sing with all my heart.

Thank you for your support until the very last day. Thank you all.

Lin Lin

Since I first joined the Hello! Project Egg and then the Morning Musume。, I was so happy every single day. Of course, I sometimes missed my home but thanks to everyone around me and all of your support, I now feel that Japan and the Hello! Project is like my home.

During the Autumn Tour, I intend to sing with everything I got so I count on your support and I hope to see you there.

Wo Ai Ni. (I love you)

Here's the audio announcement:

Here's the translated post of Tsunku about their Graduation...

Big announcement from the Morning Musume。

About the graduation of Eri Kamei, 6th generation member

Eri Kamei came to me several times regarding her health condition. One time, she said to me : “I would like to find the time to cure the atopic dermatitis that I’m suffering from”. Since the time she joined the Morning Musume。, it looks like she was dealing with symptoms like itching and slight skin color changes. She took medication to calm the symptoms down and she also used make-up to cover it but during live concerts, there is a lot of sweat and many outfits to put on, which made her recovery very difficult.

Some may say it is “just a skin problem” but according to doctors, an external problem like skin problem may move to an internal level. It may as well have an impact on her spirit, her mental level. Also, for her, it is a serious thing so she decided to focus on her recovery instead of letting it continue. Eri Kamei will graduate from the Morning Musume。 and the Hello! Project on the last day of the Morning Musume。Autumn 2010 concert tour. As for her activities after that, I intend to discuss with her after her full recovery.

About the graduation of Jun Jun and Lin Lin, 8th generation members (foreign students)

In May 2005, both of them joined the Morning Musume。as foreign students and today, while being skilled singers and entertainers, they also greatly improved their japanese proficiency and they are now grown-up women. This is why I took the decision to graduate both of them at the same time as Eri Kamei on the last day of the Morning Musume。Autumn 2010 concert tour. After graduation, they will enter a period of preparation before focusing on their singers and entertainer career in China.

I'll miss you three!! Even though I'm not much of a fan of Linlin I'm gonna miss her so!!

GOOD LUCK Kamei, Junny & Linlin!!!

Morning Musume- 43rd Single "Seishun Collection (青春コレクション)"

Morning Musume's 43rd single entitled "Seishun Collection (青春コレクション)"  will be released on June 9. For the Single V, it would be on June 16. There will be regular, limited A,B, & C plus the single V version.

According to neowing, this single will be the theme song for their new stage play "Fashionable" .

Oh.. and the title's English translation would be "Youth Collection" Since "Seishun" means "Youth" in English. I also read the translation of Neowing, and it's the same with my conclusions. I'm thinking that the song would somehow have a cute-ish melody, since it's a collection of youthful girls I think... but at least we know what it would be like. 

Neowing page for Morning Musume's 43rd Single

Morning Musume - Namidacchi

I just listened to the preview, and I'm in love with the song! It's a great ballad mixed with an upbeat sound. I'm amazed so much! It's very unique. Not the usual songs of Morning Musume. The bridge is done by Gaki through rapping which is cool :)

Morning Musume- "Onna ga Medatte naze Ikenai" Close-up version, Dance shot version & Make-up version Released.

  

The close-up version, dance shot version and the make-version of Morning Musume's 42nd single has been released, entitled "Onna ga medatte naze Ikenai"

First... the close-up version :D

単一モーニング娘42のクローズアップ版、ダンスの打撃版および作版は解放された、「女が目立って なぜイケナイ」と最初に資格を与えられて… クローズアップ版: D 

To start, I love all their expressions... especially Reina! In fact all of looked lovely.. but again I have to go against Aika... sorry aika fans! -_- but her hairstyle kinda annoys me :(

I love the pause in Kamei's solo line in the second part of the song ;) everything suddenly stops and all :_

Well.. the background behind them (the disco ball) kinda reminds me of Berryz Koubou's 19th single "Dakishimete Dakishimete" here...

始まるためには、私は愛する表現をすべて… 特にれいな! 実際は美しく見られるすべて。 しかし再度私は愛佳に対してならない行かなければ… 残念な愛佳は送風する! - _ -しかし彼女のヘアスタイルはちょっと私を悩ます: (

I愛歌の第2部分の亀井の単独ラインの休止;) すべては突然すべて停止し、: _
健康。 それらの後ろの背景はBerryz工房第19単一の「抱きしめて　抱きしめて」はを(ディスコの球)ちょっとここに思い出させる私に… 

See?? has some bits of resemblance...

Back to Morning Musume...

か。見なさいか。 持っている類似のあるビットを…

モーニング娘に戻って…

I love the dance shot!!! >.< to be honest... I felt like dancing while watching them... but like I said before... they look like they are having a bit of a hard time dancing with those clothes...but I love almost everything!!! the place where they danced was good too :) you know I want to learn the dance... though I don't want to post it :P (in youtube or here) sorry ;)

Last... the Make-up version! ;)

私はダンスの打撃を!!愛する! >。< 正直があるため… それらを見ている間…ダンスのように感じられる私 しかしように私が前に言った… それらは僅かなそれらの衣服とのつらい時ダンスを有しているが、…私がほとんどすべてを!!愛するように見る! それらが踊った場所は余りによかった:) 私が…ダンスを学びたいと思うことを知っている 私はポスト・イットがほしいと思わないけれども: 残念なP (www.youtube.comでまたはここに);)

最後… 構造版! ;) 

Okay... the make-up version was stunning! it was like a back-stage moment though they still had to act and of course sing! ;)

I liked Junjun caring about her face :3 in 1:31 (make-up version) it was so cute and adorable!!! >.<

The Release Date is on February 10, 2010

わかりました… 構造版は思いがけなかった! それは舞台裏の時のように彼らがまだ行動し、当然歌わなければならなかったけれどもあった! ;)

私は彼女の表面を気遣うジュンジュンを好んだ: 1:31 (構造版)の3それはとてもかわいく、愛らしかった!!! >。<
