泊まったのは吉澤卒コンの次の次の日から
二人で食事に行ったりしてる写真
で庄司のマンションに3連泊
仕事には庄司のマンションから
服はマンション行った時とは違う格好
庄司の部屋には藤本の服があるってことだろうか

Apparently they were first seen on the 8th, and there's supposedly a picture of them having dinner.
She stayed at Shouji's mansion for three days straight.
Her outfit when heading to work was different from the one she wore the day before, which means she possibly had a change of clothes inside the mansion.
DokiMiki listeners probably remember Miki mentioning attending a Stevie Wonder concert...

http://mycasty.jp/mugendai/html/2007-04/04-20-702077.html

Well, it appears Shouji has, too. :)

I guess I'll make the post.

It seems that Miki has been seen at a man's apartment for three days, and spent every night there,
leaving for work from his place. Supposedly there is a picture of them together from that time.

What this means for Gam and Morning Musume is unknown.

Hopefully she can shake this off as she is an adult, and is not your average idol (that is why we love her).

Either way, it's more bad news for HP for sure. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Megumi I can understand being blamed since she was soo young (if that version of the story is true), and Kago Ai did smoke & date a creepy old man. But Tsuji Nozomi got happily with a guy and I do not see that as a scandal at all, this isin't the same situation but I still don't think this matters. I mean COME ON, she's like what, 22? I so do not blame her for this. If they throw her out I think their making a HUGE unfair mistake! That's my opinion please no comment on it. ^^;;

EDIT: Okey, obviously wrong of me.  :-X Okey, so feel free to comment on my opinion, but remember that it's just what I think.  :)

I think she can shake this off, she's never portrayed herself in the
"innocent and pure" fashion that tsuji and aibon did.

She's the un-idol.

I hope that UFA and HP will just ignore it. If it was a bigger
deal it would be all over TV and compared to tsuji, there's barely a peep.

Let's just hope people are tired of HP scandals and don't care.

If all this is true, wtf miki. She has just been made leader and thats all about responsibility and setting an example. What kind of example is this? The rules may suck (and I don't really think they do), but thems the rules. I really hope this comes to nothing as i think she could make a good leader, but its not a great start  :-\
Title: Re: [Rumor] Fujimoto Miki in Friday magazine
Post by: aimaime on May 24, 2007, 07:02:38 PM
I'm not that worried about it too much. It's not really that scandalous. But I doubt they'll let Miki carry on having a relationship (if all this is indeed true) while being an idol. She'll maybe be forced not to see him again or something -_-'

Even so, the timing is really bad. They really should be thinking "Hey, there's been so many scandals lately.. Perhaps I should not see that bf of mine for a while and lay low for now..." Or maybe Friday's already got tons of materials on the H!P girls and are planning to release them one after another.. I'm tired of all this. Mou yamete!

Worse case scenario.. she has to step down as leader.. So Aichan = next leader??!?!?!?!  :eek:

Surely if one member recieves punishment, it should apply to everyone. Although you think by now, some of them would have taken that message onboard :s

they didn't do anything to Ayaya because it was a setup. apparently, their companies wanted a scandal, so they had the two wander around together and make it look like they were dating. at least that's what i heard.

He's also pretty good looking. Well done miki.

What I want to know is how are they not noticing people following them?

The stalkerazzi are ninja-like in their abilities to stay hidden. If they weren't so, they wouldn't be able to get the "compromising" pics that they're famous for.

As for the second part, it totally wouldn't surprise me. Most of these photographers likely work freelance, so they can go and follow the girls whenever they have spare time.

Oh come on, she's screwed! She's MM's leader, there's no way she can get away with this. Aya's and Nacchi's scandals were forgiven and forgotten because they're soloists, the purity-above-all rule doesn't apply to them (that much). Miki will be dropping out in no time, just like Yaguchi did. 

What I want to know is how are they not noticing people following them?

Can you guys explain to me why so many people want her solo career back?  It's not like her material is gonna be better than what they have for MM, and she's not gonna be singing the same style of music as she did years back, as she's much older now.  Isn't it a much higher possibility that she's just gonna end up the same way as the other H.P. soloists and lose popularity?

Post by: C60533 on May 24, 2007, 09:47:26 PM
I guess all we can do now is wait for UFA's statement. I don't mind too much what happens, as long as they don't get rid of Miki completely. Maybe she can restart her solo career or work on GAM. Hopefully, UFA doesn't just outright fire Miki. But I guess the decision rests with them and what they see from the public's reaction. I wonder though, if this is completely true, what will they do with her. Please don't fire her, but are they gonna put her on a break like Mari or what? UFA needs to release a statement soon, preferably one that pleases us.

Dammit....at this rate, we'll lose H!P. They're gonna destroy H!P just because they don't fit the image of an idol. Idols are people with human desires and wants....they need to remember this otherwise we won't have H!P to entertain us anymore.

Miki means money for Tsunku.

Meant. Idols lose a lot of their fanbase when they are involved in a scandal, and especially this kind (ie being in a relationship). Her only hope is going the Yaguchi route of apologizing and then trying to move into a different career (Yaguchi's mainly a TV Talent now), where having a boyfriend isn't a big deal. Whatever she decides to do now, her pop idol days are in the past. Hopefully she makes it in the TV Talent world (at least we'll still see her), she has enough character for it, not as much as Yaguchi, true, but if Satoda Mai can make a successful go of it why can't she?

I don't give a damn if she's really with that guy....the problem is that fucking Friday magazine that loves to screw up with my favourite members from h!p. First Aibon...now Miki!
If Miki is gone, Morning Musume will mean nothing to me...I'll just completly switch to berryz.

I never know what to expect from UFA...they are most of the time really severe on their decisions, but I just hope Tsunku does something and protect her. They can't lose Miki because of shit like that.

i'm sad...that's all!

I really hope its just a misunderstanding (with paparrazi taking pics from weird angles) and can clear up just as that.
Like "Just friends", end of comment.

I'd be seriously depressed if Miki left like this. Starting as leader, beginning to build a solid MM fanbase and doing a GAM tour. :'(
I don't care about any UFA 'rule'. And If Miki needs to leave MM/H!P, I hope Miki herself makes the decision on her future. not UFA or some photos (i know that doesn't make much sense... but whatever).

oi, here we go again...
Honestly, I can't see anything really bad happening to Miki. Wonder what UFA is going to say, if anything. I hate it when there's an over-reaction because idols happen to be people too. It's not it's totally un-Miki like Aibon or Tsuji (though everyone thought she'd be with Aya XD)
In the event that she does leave MM, I don't think I'll really mind. MM is practically dead to me already. She concentrate on GAM or solo stuff.

i dunno know if it's true, but after thinking it over, if it is true than i would be okay with it, just as long as UFA don't be stupid enough to Terminate her, she is vital to Morning Musume and GAM and also H!P.
as a fan, when i hear news like this, i'm shock at first, don't know what to think, but after thinking it over, i'm happy for her if she's ever does dating, cuz these girls, although their idols, they also need love and happiness. as a fan, all i could do is support her, and i love her.
 it's not like she did anything bad or illegal, depending on how u see it.  She probably violate the UFA policy, but to me the policy should be if ur under 20, no romantic relationships, 20 and over, maybe, and if ur Nakazawa Yuko, get a boyfriend already, all ur juniors is passing u.

I gotta say, that shouji is a very lucky bastard.  good job.  
If UFA is gonna be such a jerk as to let Miki go, i have an incredible urge to fly over to japan and slap the president of UFA, just thinking about this.  if she wants a boyfriend, let her, she's 22, true fans out there should understand their needs and support them. I think miki would survive this anywayz, she tough like that.

that's what being a celebrity is all about, there's the good things and the bad things that comes with it.  ur entire life is under watch,  everything that u do.  it's sad really, to know a celebrity have no privacy. everyone try to dig into their personal life.  it's just goes to show that idols also have their own personal life.  we should respect their wishes, if they want it publicize, then they'll do it themselves, if not, then butt out.  although not everyone thinks the way i do.  Just hope this thing blows over soon so everyone can move on and especially Miki, hoping her career isn't in jeopardy, i would terribly miss her...don't wanna jinx anything.

btw, i heard that that there was some miki scandal in the past, but now it's not even mention, was there pics or anything like this? cuz that one wasn't too big, and i almost never heard of it, everyone seems to forget it.  i hope this one will be the same. again, don't wanna jinx it.

Times like this I'm really glad Konno left quietly. I'd be very surprised if she didn't have a boyfriend, but at least I don't need to hear about it.

The reaction is typical, but sad as usual. Hopefully Miki will find a way to work through this. It would certainly help my impression of MM if she can. Miki and Ai Takahashi are the only members that I like anymore (no offense to fans of the other girls). If Miki gets booted, then there's not much reason to follow the group.

When the Mari news broke over a year ago, I was horribly upset. Between Nono and Kago and all the little Friday scandals (with Ayaya, etc.), I've gotten pretty numb to this sort of thing. It mostly just gets a sigh. Not that I'm not pissed off. I'm not upset with Miki, or Friday even, but mostly the wota fans that stop buying because the girl they admire is having a normal life. As long as Miki (or Konno, or Ayaya or whoever) doesn't flaunt it in my face, I just wish them the best.

^ Indeed. You can't help but wonder if it weren't for the extreme negative reactions of some of the wota, would companies like UFA then be worrying as much about maintaining the "Idol image".  If situations like these didn't case such extreme reactions, we may not see as many idols being forced out of the business the way they have been.

And incidentally, on the latest episode of Quiz Hexagon (2007.05.23) that was posted on H!T, check out what Shouji's partner said.

(http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/3793/snapshot20070524215059dc4.jpg)

Basically, he says something like "Shouji, good luck!"

I think it was just meant to be a random flippant/funny comment at the time, but still...kinda creepy, if not just really bad timing/coincidence.

Weren't they the one taht got pics of Akanishi and Takako together? And when Kamenashi went to that older actress' house? Tabloids are all over Johnnys too. Dammit, I remember years ago seeing pics of Aiba (Is that his name? From Arashi) half naked with his girlfriend, a pic of a young Morita Go holding a dildo on his crotch posing with his girlfriend. It didn't become as bad, why? Because they're guys.

I don't give a shit about the girls having boyfriends. Most of them are prolly seeing someone anyway. But they should know by now what might happen if they get caught. They should be more careful and lay low. Although this incidence can't be a surprise for anyone who's listened to the Ishiyoshi's convo a few years ago. Rika pretty much predicted it lol.

Risa for leader, please. Someone who actually loves MM.

Mari got it shortly after becoming leader and hitomi then reigned scandal free. Might the same happen with miki being replaced by an ever so proper ai? Rather funny potential parallels.

Maybe I fell behind a bit, but I have yet to even see any appearances with miki being all leaderly. I'll be pissed if I'm deprived of that rather odd spectacle.

Depending on how substantial this turns out to be, you can bet a lot of questions are being asked about if miki is just too colorful to keep or just too colorful to get rid of.

Personally, I hope it all just blows over.

It was from 2004 (but was released right after Yaguchi incident in 05). They were talking about how Miki and Yaguchi went out on a date with their boyfriends in public and that they should have been more careful, especially Miki since she was one of the front girls and if something happened with her, it'd affect the group as a whole.

It's a shame but she's bound to be kicked out now. Anyone who thinks she's going to be spared because it's Miki is being naive. I love Miki and I don't want anything to happen to her but UFA has been consistent with their stance on the "no dating" rule. I think we all know the rule is probably more like "don't get caught dating" than "absolutely no dating". Anyway, I don't see them making an exception even if it is Miki.

This talk about Risa leading.. yes, that'd make Morning Musume into a kindergarten led by an annoying peppy happy teacher. Last thing I wanna hear is Risa giving a pep speech. Now Ai leading with a Risa as a sub is tons more interesting. It'd force some interaction between the two. And plenty of awkward moments. ;D

People still think that the leadership position in MM is such a big deal. Fuck that, it's just a damn title with minimal responsibility. The leaders do fucking nothing. They talk first. Boo hoo. Anyone who thinks Ai can't handle that as well as has been done before needs a reality check.

Yeah Risa prolly 'loves' MM more. If we go by that, they should make Koharu the leader!  :banana:

For true, they have managers and producers and image consultants making all the important decisions for them.  It's not like the leader has any real influence over the group's direction.  Frankly they could give the job to Aika and I bet no one notice.

Haha I'v been wondering if she'd appear on YanTan... How brave of her! Since Sanma kept teasing her about her lesbian aura, and telling the girls that he'll give advice on what to do if they have sex and want to cover it from the media... Wonder how he'll scold Miki, and what Ai-chan would say to this( hoping she won't be quiet about it)

Over all I think its not much of a big deal, Tsuji and Kago's case were pretty shocking (their like kids to their fans..) Miki on the other had... come on man she's like 22, her image is like a mature/sexy woman so how shocking would it be if she dated? And this guy pretty much fits her 'dream' guy's character, funny, pretty good looking, nice bod (this one I added in) and probably fun to hang out with even when their doing nothing at all except chatting.

UFA break out off the plot when it's not even the end of chapter 1.  Nice play by UFA, but Miki is the lucky girl, and probably she didn't spit anything out in the meeting. :pimp:

Risa as a leader would actually increase the chances of international concerts, even if only a little. She's already mentioned wanting to perform in open air, and she goes nuts over the Korean fanbase.

even with all of this, miki still continues like nothing happen.  what a girl!

regarding to the leader talk, i just think that whoever talks the most in interviews, public appearances, etc. is usually the leader, even though this is usually not the case.  being leader doesn't really mean much except just representing ur group more than most other members do.  and most of the time, with any group, not just H!P, the leader usually just stand behind the member talking and just looking good. although with yossie as leader, she usually the one who talks first and talk much, that's what i call a good leader.   Ai and Risa could both be co-leaders, i would go for that more than just leader-subleader, wouldn't be funny to watch the usually not talkative Ai tryiing to talk but can't and Risa to the rescue?  kinda off the subject, but whatever...

According to Update 6.5 from H!O, Yaguchi is gonna go talk to Miki about this and ask for more information.
Maybe Yaguchi knows the situation between Miki and "her lover" and that she will talk her "through" this.

Also if they do need a new leader, won't Ai-chan become the one and Gaki-san be the sub-leader?

Post by: cynee on May 25, 2007, 02:31:48 PM
since the FRIDAY stalkers did went up to the comedian and asked him questions, i guess it's pretty obvious that both of them know that this scandal is gonna be reported and would have likely forewarned/informed their agencies about it already. from 8/5 till now, the agencies have pretty enough time to think of whatever reasons they want to to deal with the situation now. hence, since UFA acts like they are not admitting that Miki was on a date, it looks like Miki is safe (not kicked out immediately like Yaguchi)... for now.

well, at the very most, UFA can force Miki to quit MM, and concentrate on GAM! since GAM is not as idol-like as MM (remember Aya+Keita?), i think this method might possibly go down well with fans too ;) and Miki might be elated! she seemed reluctant to be a Musume in the first place. now she can have her long awaited solo back! XP

I see people hasn't been around for many scandals...

Nacchi and Aya were both Friday'd leaving their supposed lovers houses and nothing happened. Yaguchi didn't quit, she resigned from, and only, from Morning Musume because the group wants to keep a purity image. Chinami x KT affair made the news, and nothing happened either. And Tsuji? She has everyone on her side. Only Aibon released her contract with H!P because she was caught smoking for a second time, breaking the law for a second time, and an older man was involved this time. At the present, Miki's case is just like Nacchi and Aya's. Nothing will happen unless Friday comes out with a kiss pic. And, to an extreme, I think she'd only quit MM for the same reasons as Mari, but stay in GAM or resume her solo career, or make successful dramas about cowboys or thiefs. If Mari or Tsuji never left H!P, why'd they fire Miki? Trust Tsunku, BE Positive!

^the only reason anything happened with Nono was because she got pregnant.
It seems that no1 knew she was dating till then.  I think the girls need some secrecy tips from her!
Seems that she usualyl went out in groups, so it didn't seem like a date.  Bakajo looks pretty clever now...apart from the baby bit.  But that was an accident, could happen to anyone...

Can you guys explain to me why so many people want her solo career back?  It's not like her material is gonna be better than what they have for MM, and she's not gonna be singing the same style of music as she did years back, as she's much older now.  Isn't it a much higher possibility that she's just gonna end up the same way as the other H.P. soloists and lose popularity?

Except that her voice is much better now, she has more talent than some of the other soloists.

Another scandal that goes down the drain.

Actually, I wasn't expecting anything bad to happen, Miki has this mature, independant, "I don't give a fuck what you think" attitude, so it's hard to scandalize over this.

The magazine didn't even have the pictures on the front page (since those were shitty), but as some ppl pointed out, it's publicity.

I hated the pessimism of some guys in this thread (other forums were much more optimistic, cheer up guys), assembler, try to be more optimistic, being pessimistic is contagious you know.

In the past the person with the dirt would usually be bought off by the agency.

However, this just doesn't happen anymore. I believe that ever since the
Yakuza threat over the toilet video,UFA doesn't pay out anymore.

I am guessing these people taking pictures, who know how to
hide and follow people, are yakuza.

u know the more i think about it, i'm actually more wota-like than normal fans, but less-wota-like than actual wotas.  i'm like half-wota, hehe, cuz when i heard things like this, it's upset me, a little, then after thinking it over, i accept the situation, whatever it is, and although still a lil sad, still happy for the gal(s) and support their decision and whatnot.

Title: Re: [News] Fujimoto Miki in Friday magazine
Post by: BigDnm01 on May 26, 2007, 12:20:39 AM
so Friday trying to help H!P/UFA?! with scandals that could potentially ruin them?!
whoaa!!!!!  it's either a hit or miss deal ain't it?  either way, what great timing, with GAM album and tours. kinda a blessing in disguise.  sounds kinda real, but i think's it's coincidence.  but if they really do want to help, probably cuz they report the first aibon incident back in FEB 2006, but the one which really destroy Aibon's H!P career is the main who was Friday MAG's editor and the current editor of the mag that reported aibon second scandal, which ultimately ruin it.  Friday even tried to make up for things with H!P/UFA, with interviewing Aibon about her upcoming comeback, though it never did happen, btw, what mag was it that reported Aibon second scandal? 
of all the H!P scandals that Friday reported, the most devastating one is Aibon, which cost her her career,  the other ones also kinda affect their status but they weren't fired or anything... for example, nothing really happen to Ayaya with her scandal about supposed boyfriend Tachibana keita, and the yaguchi one, though she resigned from MM, she still part of H!P and doing things H!P-related along with others, so she, in a way, is safe.

Update 5.5

According to FujiTV, UFA has commented on this case with a rather short "There's no proof they're dating" .

http://www.hello-online.org/index.php?act=helloonline&CODE=news&topic=101
Well, by coming out with this statement, UFA have basically told FRIDAY to stick their story where the sun doesn't shine. I forsee 2 possibilities as to how FRIDAY may react:

a) FRIDAY will come back next week with new pics of Miki & Shouji holding hands or smooching. Personally I say this is HIGHLY unlikely because considering how when FRIDAY tries to get as much "proof" as they can when they break a scandal, if they had pics like these would have already published them.  If they did not already have pics like these, they'd have to send the stalkerazzi out to "catch them red-handed" so to speak.  Now considering that all parties involved will be exercising a lot more caution/discretion about the whole thing, getting these pics will now be much more difficult, if at all possible. 

b) FRIDAY likely won't bother doing anything since by next week this'll be old news and they'll have moved on to the next story. Magazines like this have the attention span of a hyperactive kid with ADHD.

Considering the conciseness and conviction of UFA's statement, my money's on "B".

And I found Aichan's comments on that press conference weird, since it sounds like she acknowledged the relationship, and probably even knew all along Miki was licking butter off Shouji's chest.

Of course, Aichan's comments on that press conference were made AFTER the Yando recordings, so she knew that Miki would be on air admitting it. It would be stupid of her to deny it when she was present at the Yando recording.

It is MM, not H!P

So... was this the shortest leadership of MM?

UFA did not deny anything. According to a report by FujiTV, someone at UFA said that there was no proof in the Friday article that they were dating. So far UFA has not made an official statement. Now they will issue one, with all the facts at hand. And Miki admits it because:
1 - it is true, and EVERYBODY knew it was true, so no point in denying it now
2 - she probably wants to keep dating the guy, so there's a chance they will be caught again, and it would look worse than admitting it now
3 - since she's an adult, and there's nothing illegal involved, the only thing that may suffer is her status in MM. Worse case scenario, she steps down as Mari did, but unlike Mari, she still has GAM and she's in the middle of a concert tour now, so I don't think UFA will cancel the tour because of this.

"someone at UFA" means they were floating this idea as a response to the story to see what would happen. It might have worked, IF miki had chosen to stop seeing the guy. but now there is no chance of the deny strategy working. UFA now have to make an official statement and miki has a choice to make.

but if she had chosen to just stop seeing the guy she could have stayed silent and seen what happened, but she didn't, which made me think she might have chosen the other option :(

She just want to leave MM asap, but when she didn't get kicked out, she changed to plan B.  A selfish leader indeed, someone who really should have kept her status as a soloist.  A poor decision by Tsunku to bring her in.  Did she even think about other members, staffs, and the company before she does or says something?  I actually never like her before and now I'm starting to hate her.  Without her, MM will then be an all nice little girl group (I mean in term of appearance :D).

All hail Ai-chan!! ;)

I'd like to personally congratulate Miki. I think I might write to Young Town just to show her my support. The lady has spoken. Her boyfriend goes first, the group talk comes later. But as I read above, we all knew it. The guy says "contact my agency", Ai says "we shall take care" and Sanma says "Ai look out not to get caught"... I'd say it's even obvious Ai is also dating someone lol 

I'm so glad they didn't mention GAM at all. After all, the virginal behaviour is only associated to Morning Musume. And it's nice to read no one booed her at GAM's concert. Now she admitted the relationship, I think it's a matter of time to see the news of her quit (like Mari's) from Morning Musume. That, or UFA might try something new and let her continue and see if it affects sales somehow, for good or for bad, if Miki stays on MM it can be understood as a step to get rid of the stigma that associates MM to old perv fans. There are 8 other girls drawing attention and fans after all.

Miki is my favorite Morning Musume member right now, but honestly if she decides to get out of the group I'm not going to lose any sleep over this. She doesn't seem to really take being in Momusu very seriously, so it's probably what's best for her. I think it would be great if GAM stays around, but I don't even care for their music (the only songs I like are Thanks! And Shinkirou Romance) so that really doesn't make a difference.

I don't want her to disappear all together though. I'd definitely miss her. Ahh. Torn feelings. -_-

Post by: Pinkosa on May 26, 2007, 07:22:52 PM
I don't really care about this, I find it rather annoying to be honest.

When I first started liking MM, I knew nothing about the term 'Idol' as they use in Japan, and in more western places it's like people want to know who is going out with who.
The Idol phase is out of date, and the only one holding it there is the wotas.

I would LOVE if they would get rid of the whole idol term, becuase I do really like H!P and some of the girls in it, and I'd prefer it, if they had boyfriends and stuff, because I feel it would make them more happier and comfortable when they are working, look at Namie Amuro or Ayumi Hamasaki for example.  It's just the wotas thinking if they are cute and innocent then they can still have a chance or something?

The sad thing is, is that I don't think its going to fade away for a while, but with todays culture [eg tabloids and gossip magazines], Idols arn't worth the hassle.

I know that the original Idol status is to, be an Idol, to have someone to look up to, a perfect innocent image etc, but again it's silly in todays society, and impractical.

Maybe I'm totally wrong because I live in the UK, but this is how I feel.

Miki is a legend, I wouldn't mind if she resigned out of MM because she was pissed that she put in, so she might be a bit more happier without it, as long as she stays in H!P/Music Industry.





AMEN. You're right, i hope she can stays in H!P or Music Industry too, she has too much talent!

agreed. Miki hardly even shows love for MM. It's an idol group, and they have to follow the idol rules, even the unwritten ones. I prefer to see her as a soloist, because she seemed FAR more happy then.

Way too much to hope for. :-(

If she is forced to resign from mm, I have trouble imagining her getting all apologetic about it like mari did.
Title: Re: [News] Fujimoto Miki in Friday magazine
Post by: Linus on May 26, 2007, 08:15:43 PM
I don't think she does it to force her quit. Think of Mari: she was never asked to quit. She wanted it, despite the bunch of signs that wotas gathered to show her that they don't care about his boyfriend, they simply wanted the Mari to stay. So if Miki has a boyfriend, I don't think the wota cares, like they didn't care with Mari; and if Miki leaves, I'm sure it will be her own decision.
Title: Re: [News] Fujimoto Miki in Friday magazine
Post by: doinkies on May 26, 2007, 08:18:45 PM
Yes, Mari did want to quit MoMusu, in fact she wanted to quit H!P all together but UFW pretty much begged her to stay in H!P and so she reluctantly agreed. I suppose we'll have to see what Miki and UFW decide to do, hopefully it will turn out for the best. I certainly know that Miki probably has the most passionate wota fans ever, and they'll probably be very, very disappointed if she leaves. It's a hard decision for the UFW people and for Miki...

Wow, it's not over? Well, like I said before, if she quits MM, I'd be perfectly happy to see her back as a solo and in GAM. I never really liked her in MM as much as I do outside of it (and she doesn't seem as enthusiastic about MM either). It's kind of funny that she admits after UFA says there's no proof. Miki finally found a way out XD Though if she leaves, MM will probaby degrade into a group of girls who act like five year olds...

Miki seems pretty good with Eri nowadays, judging from their interactions on Hellomoni  :D

i don't this scandal is a big deal actually, somehow it feels like the whole incident lacks the urgency that usually comes when it concerns MM members' negative reports. UFA is taking its time in dealing with Miki, unlike their usual decisive actions when big matters happened (eg. Nacchi, Aibon, Tsuji). so i guess they have options for Miki and she will stay on in something, unless she wants to quit the entertainment scene altogether herself.

i can't really imagine Ai+Risa as leaders... with Yossie graduated and if Miki goes off as well, it just feels like there's no more adults in the house?! LOL. yet, i think many people will support Miki leaving MM, she never really belonged there anyway.

I really think that we international fans are taking this thing a lot more seriously than the japanese fans. I see no scandal alarms on the japanese sites. I see no scandal alarms on the media. All I see is "Ok, she's dating this guy, lets see what happens. On other news..." So it seems that international fans are the ones blowing this out of proportion.
Title: Re: [News] Fujimoto Miki in Friday magazine
Post by: invisname on May 26, 2007, 09:50:16 PM
Sounds to me like the international fans are a bit worried because they expect it to happen like mari again.

Me thinks the Japanese people are calmer about it because they already have come to the conclusion that Miki and Mari are different people and are probably approaching it in a different manner. Miki's always been the one with lots of gutz I think, in her own way being forward... so her admitting it is no surprise and if it results in her leaving MM then thats just how it has to be.... I don't think it should be tooo big of a deal though... I'm kind of hoping UFA says, "ya know what this happens a lot...maybe we oughta try let it go," ... but who knows...

I'm still siding on the "GO MIKI!" side anyways, no matter what the consequence may be. I guess cause Miki took it so smoothly instead of disappearing that people are relieved, indeed her stance is a nice show of her strength and fortitude.

It's probaby right that she gets kicked out of Morning Musume and the fact she's admitting he's her boyfriend, when she really could have lied about it and everything would have been forgotten, means that she's not too concerned about leaving. There's really no reason for her to leave GAM though, that's a different kind of group. Oh well, either way, I hope we find out H!P's decision soon.

Miki said on Young Town that she'd talk to her boss about this. Now it's Sunday over there, who knows if they arranged a meeting for this morning, but as a PR, I'd comment the decision late today so it can make Monday's newspapers and morning shows, getting spread asap on the first labour day of the week.

I mean to have them speculate and stuff is the same kind of damage that tabloids use all the time... brush it off

Oh man...  Just came across this news.  Not another one!

And why is it always the ones I like?  Damn!  (Well, not Sayu...  yet...  but I s'pose with her cuteness, it's only a matter of time).

I kinda of wish Miki would quit MM and continue with GAM :[

I would like at least that outcome, or that she goes back to solos...  but I do fear it will weaken Momusu if she leaves now.  And I s'pose, since GAM is an H!P outfit the same as Momusu, if she quits one she'll have to leave the other.

Man, there is likely some real business opportunity in Japan right now - for someone to pick up all these ex-H!P stars and manage and promote them.

I have to raise:  has H!P set the bar too high, with their contracts.  WHY do they have the no-boyfriend rule in there?  So that the girls will focus on their work?  Surely, for the older ones, being allowed to be sexually active will actually give them more energy for their work - everyone knows most girls have more energy (go cooking, cleaning the house, etc) after a good orgasm.  And I can't believe that the fans want to believe the older girls are all virgins???  Heck, most of us here are totally turned on by the idea of our favourite over-18 H!P member getting a good work-out in the sack.  I just don't get it...  I suppose it's due to some quirky Japanese social-moral thing?  To quote a once-infamous Australian politician (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauline_Hanson):  "Please explain!"  (No, I didn't support that lady, but was often amused by her stupidity...  kinda like I'm a bit stupid about lots of Japanese stuff!)

One word: Idols.
Title: Re: [News] Fujimoto Miki in Friday magazine
Post by: StreakInTheSky on May 27, 2007, 10:29:57 AM
The no-boyfriend is an unwritten rule in the idol industry really. I doubt it's written explicitly in anyone's contract, but being in a relationship can drastically change someone's career. People act like it only applies to the idol industry in japan, but from what I've noticed, anyone who has attracted a strong niche fanbase will have some backlash once they're in a known relationship. I myself don't actually know of any idols that have actually ended their careers from a relationship though.

Also, nobody of legal age has yet to leave H!P after a scandal, besides Aibon. So there really isn't much of a market for them. Nobody but AV companies are going to want ex-H!P members anyways. I actually wouldn't be too surprised if an aibon one pops up in the next couple years XD

What are you going on about the orgasm thing? Did you make that up? XD

And I already thought the case would have been closed. Miki admitting it? An interesting move. So did she say she's quitting too? Or is everyone now just waiting what UFA thinks about this?

I still think Miki leaving MM wouldn't do any good for the group. She's the strongest personality there and has the real talent as well. So maybe UFA tries to find a way to keep her in Momusu. If not, well, she's a good solo.

No, I understand that MM and GAM are different units;  what I was saying is that GAM is in H!P the same as MM is in H!P - so if her contract with UFA encompasses all of her work within H!P, her role with GAM would be as stuffed as her role with MM.  In fact, she couldn't even stay on as an H!P soloist if her contract is terminated, I guess.

The no-boyfriend is an unwritten rule in the idol industry really. I doubt it's written explicitly in anyone's contract, but being in a relationship can drastically change someone's career.

So you feel it's not in the contracts?  I'd be interested to know if the details of UFA contracts have ever been made public?  The way Mari, Aibon and Nono have had their careers affected, you kinda figure it's a very strong unwritten rule at the very least;  but if so many fans are so stupid as to be turned off the fantasy of following their idol because their idol has a real relationship, I s'pose it would affect idol careers.  For me?  I figure so long as I can enjoy the music and  :jerk: to a whole bunch of my favourite idols, I'm happy.  If I can throw into the fantasy mix the fact that any of them are definitely spreading their legs for a real live boyfriend, so much the better IMHO, but I guess I'm weird - I seemed to be one of the few who found Nono's pregnancy a horny subject (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=10878.0), heh heh!

Nobody but AV companies are going to want ex-H!P members anyways. I actually wouldn't be too surprised if an aibon one pops up in the next couple years XD

Heh heh, I like Aibon so I shouldn't say it, but...  oh, I hope so!!!   >:D   :eek:

What are you going on about the orgasm thing? Did you make that up? XD

Nope...  I have been with a number of girls who have got all energetic after sex, and gone off getting busy around the house while I sleep it off.  Be interested to know if any of the girls on here have that experience?  A couple have claimed that cooking is an especially good activity after being sexually satisfied, but maybe singing could be the thing for some girls.  So, in theory, if we want Miki to sing up a storm, give her a coupla hours privacy with Shouji before a concert and she'll bring the roof down!   ;D

I still think Miki leaving MM wouldn't do any good for the group. She's the strongest personality there and has the real talent as well. So maybe UFA tries to find a way to keep her in Momusu. If not, well, she's a good solo.

Yeah, I'd be really worried for Momusu if Miki has to leave right now (as well as killing off the wonderful GAM tour that is about to start - Nooooooooooo!!!  I want that DVD so bad in a few months!!)

As for Miki going back to solo - I wouldn't mind, but as I say, I doubt it could be within H!P is she has to leave Momusu...   >:(

Of course, for sure...  the way Mari's thing went was kinda weird and unusual, wasn't it?  Like, she resigned from Momusu but has now gradually picked up various roles within the wider organization.  So, yeah, good point - seems to suggest that Miki may not have to go altogether.  Guess I'm just wondering if she REALLY needs to leave anything at all...  I'm for sure hoping not, but I fear my fears will come to pass   :(

the thing with mari, imo, is that she was more outspoken, great sense of humor, know how to present herself, and doing more things before and after her resignation, so she can find things to do that doesn't really involved singing.  but i would also like to see her re-emerges as a singer, she is after all, a "variety idol."

...But with Miki, she doesn't do much except sing and dance. rite? i know she have regular appearances on radio show, like Yantan and her own, DokiMiki Night.  However, although she great to watch and listen to, and good at presenting herself in a way, just not how most other people would. i dunno if she can do anything else except sing and dance, and she is one of the best in MM/H!P.  so if she were to ever resign/graduate from MM, which she will, if not now, within a couple of years, she'll probably have a better chance to continue her solo career and GAM soon after the grad/resignation than mari does... considering she really can't do anything else, that is, if H!P/UFA decides to keep her...

Last reply for me in this 'hyperventilating' thread: MM as a group is handled differently from the rest of H!P. Sample: Mari, who quit MM but stayed under contract with with H!P, Miki seems to want to handle it (in)differently.

The target group for MM is different from GAM, the rules are therefore different eventough they are all part of H!P.

That would give me hope for Miki still being around, which for me personally is the main thing.  Her Miki1 concert is one of my favourites ever, and if she goes back to solo work it's ok by me, especially if they let her still stay in GAM.  I hope she stays on with H!P though, cos I wonder how she would go as a totally solo artist without the H!P promotion machine behind her.  Anyway, if as StreakInTheSky suggests the no-boyfriend thing isn't specifically a contractual clause but is more an unwritten rule, allowing for GAM's sexy image they may let her stay with that unit - though maybe her having a boyfriend would wreck the implied lesbian fantasy behind GAM and so that might not happen either.

BUT, my main fear is that her departure from MM so soon will leave a big hole for them, and they needed some more time for the younger ones to prepare for that day.  I guess that will leave Ai-chan as (reluctant?) leader, with presumably Risa as sub-leader.  And the disintegration of the 6th Gen begins so soon after the inauguration of the 8th Gen.

All speculation so far of course.

...i would also like to see her [Mari] re-emerges as a singer...
That did of course begin in January, so hopefully we will see more of Mari again...  which also gives hope for Miki in the longer term, no matter what happens now (unless she does leave H!P totally).  And it would be nice to see more of Mari again, even though she wasn't one of my total favourites, she is such a little dynamo that she adds so much to a performance that she's in.

Miki doesn't seem to be interested in doing anything at all period. That's sort of her gimmick, being the "fuck all y'all" idol, she's kinda unique in the idol world for that if for nothing else. Getting work in showbusiness outside of H!P will be easier for her than most of her fellow idols, she knows it too, which is probably why she's being so honest about her relationship.

Title: Re: [News] Fujimoto Miki in Friday magazine
Post by: sayumi_fan on May 28, 2007, 12:40:51 PM
GAM is a lesbian fantasy?  What?

Heh heh, well...  I'm happy to be shown to be wrong!  And I don't suggest that all their material is lesbian inspired;  but there is a certain amount of interaction between Ayaya and Miki that suggests a bit of soft-core lesbian play - the most obvious being the kiss at the end of the Melodies PV, though there's a lot of very affectionate stuff - feeding each other, etc - all through the PV.  The Thanks! PV and their performances also contains a certain amount of mutual touching that has mild lesbian overtones (if you want to see it that way).  I know many Asian girls, including many of the Chinese girls in my own community, do express their friendship through hand-holding and such, but I think the contact in some GAM material goes a bit further than that.  Lu Lu Lu seems to be less suggestive of anything lesbian than the other PVs / performances.

Don't get me wrong - I love what I see, and I don't even mean just in a horny male fantasy way - the Melodies PVs, both the original and the Special Edition, are beautiful, tender, warm and inspiring.   :love:  But I do think they have intentional lesbian suggestions, without being very explicit about it.

Of course, the MAIN point of GAM is not lesbianism, but rather legs - as stated by Tsunku at their launch when he referred to 'gam' as being a (actually rather outdated) British term for sexy legs  (usually plural, as in 'gams')...  which Ayaya and Miki undoubtedly possess.  So the lesbian thing is only a comparatively minor side-line...  but I do think it's intended.

Feel free to disagree, though!    :grin:

even if i don't think they're lesbian-ish, i believe that they very close indeed. they probably act lesbian for fans, but they are still very good friends. in the GAM - thanks perf and talk on Music Fighter, they said that they bathe together, that's could either be lesbian, or just good friends hanging out.  but i wouldn't thinking they're lesbian-ish or bi-sexual, cuz it seems for fun that way, but whether it's true or not don't bother me.

Oh, I completely agree!  Don't get me wrong, I don't think they really ARE lesbians or even bisexual, it is only part of the act for this particular unit they are in (which is what you're saying too), and it's not even the main part of the act (the legs are - yay!!)...  but it's a really hot part of the act for me.  It's kinda weird how straight guys get turned off by the thought of two guys getting it on together, but many of us love the idea of two girls 'doing it', heh heh!  Oh, and no, if it was true that they were getting it on together, it wouldn't worry me at all - but the same if it's an act, it's still a hot act!   :inlove:

:OMG: Lesbian GAM is forever!  :mon lovelaff:

Oh, and believe me, they do, they do...  I've rarely seen anything so beautiful as Miki lovingly feeding Ayaya her breakfast, as lovers do;  and The Kiss...  oh man, I never believed I would see that, even as an act.

Anyway, I got us well and truly off-topic for this thread (sorry folks!!)...  so, let's hope we haven't seen the last of Lesbian GAM, Legs GAM or GAM in general...  or of Mikitty too for that matter!

UFA were incredibly silent yesterday (Monday) - what's it all mean?  There's speculation over at Hello Online that it could all pass over without comment and things just continue, with Miki being allowed to just have her boyfriend if it's truly not actually in their contracts but only an unwritten thing;  but more likely we're just in the eye of the hurricane, the calm before the storm????   :banghead:

On the May 26, 2007 edition of Young Town Doyōbi (a radio show with Ai Takahashi, Fujimoto and Sanma Akashiya), she confirmed that the pictures were of her, and that she had been going out with Shōji Tomoharu. She also mentioned that she was going to talk to the head of Up-Front Agnecy, Naoki Yamazaki about the situation. Her position in Morning Musume and GAM is under speculation with confirmation expected soon.

On May 25th, 2007, Fujimoto was revealed in Friday magazine to have been dating a boyfriend, Shouji Tomoharu, who is part of comedy duo Shinagawa Shouji. Fujimoto herself confirmed that the story is true in a radio interview within days of the story breaking. The implications of this revelation for her idol career is so far uncertain, though precedents suggest that she will at the very least have to quit her position as leader of Morning Musume.

imo, worst case scenario, she probably resign from MM, then stay with GAM and continue to work with H!P.  i hope this is the case...as mentioned above

Uh-oh...  that one was added to wiki.theppn.org by me, based on the Hello Online reports;  so it's only as good as the info we've got from those reports, which can be found right here (http://www.hello-online.org/index.php?act=helloonline&CODE=news&topic=101).  But, wow, gave me a thrill to be quoted as an 'authority' - even though I'm definitely not!   :P

I wonder...  the longer UFA delays commenting / taking any action on Miki, can we start to believe that maybe they are planning to weather the storm and let it blow over?  How long did it take before Mari resigned from MM, after her news became public?  Weirdly, her thread on this forum right here (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=358.0) started just 5 days before she resigned;  but there's not enough info there on 14th April 2005 to tell when she was "Friday"ed or whatever happened...  anyone got more detail about the timing of all that?  (14th April that year was a Thursday, so either she knew "Friday" would publish a story the next day, or it had happened the week before, or maybe it wasn't even "Friday" that did her in??)

ALSO:  Has anyone heard any news out of Japan about fan reactions to Miki's news - have there been any public destructions of Miki souvenirs / posters / UFA cards etc?  (And did that happen when Mari's thing happened - in other words, can we compare the reactions over the two incidents?)  I had only just discovered H!P when Mari resigned, so I didn't know enough to take notice.

Honestly, I could care less if she leaves MM (----> what I actually wanted her to do for a while ;;;;; ), however as long as she stays in H!P and continues in GAM, I'm a happy girl.  That and SOLO PLZ??? KTHNX.

I'm pretty much of the same opinion on that, yokoso, especially if it's what Miki privately wants...  my only worry is that it does leave Momusu a bit in the poo, losing one of their main lead singers as well as their leader.  (Man, it seems that being leader of Momusu is as dangerous as being US President - they are out to get you immediately if they can.  It took them 3 months to get Mari, but only 3 weeks to get Miki.  Yossie must have been untouchable!)

It says that Miki and Aichan have this talk show "Sunshine eco week 2007" on June 8th. The important part is that it says "モーニング娘。 の藤本美貴と高橋愛" which means "Fujimoto Miki and Takahashi Ai from Morning Musume". I guess that means she's staying in the group.

I'll just sit here and wait and see what UFA will do about Miki's 'confession', if they ever do anything at all at this rate,  haha.
Somehow I think they'll be a bit busy trying to figure out how to distance themselves from the whole "Naked Kago" rumours.  :lol:
But that is easy: she is no longer a client of UFA, so whatever she does now is her problem only

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but this sounds like Miki is staying http://www.helloproject.com/newslist/fuji_0705291235.html

It says that Miki and Aichan have this talk show "Sunshine eco week 2007" on June 8th. The important part is that it says "モーニング娘。 の藤本美貴と高橋愛" which means "Fujimoto Miki and Takahashi Ai from Morning Musume". I guess that means she's staying in the group.
Ummm...I just clicked that link, it leads to the H!P homepage.

i guess H!P/UFA were lenient on Miki cuz of the support her fans gave her at the GAM concert. It was a lucky coincidence that this came out around a album release and a concert. This didn't happen to other H!P members when they were scandaled, her fans can't really show their support for them and mostly u heard of burnings of things.  But with Miki, she had fans support after 2-3 days the scandal was reveal...

Plus, it's Miki, she's tough and mean... our evil queen. she do whatever the hell she wants...hehehe

Like I said on another forum, I have too much respect for Miki to see her as just a Paris Hilton spoiled brat lookalike doing the "I'm Paris so I can do what I want" thing. The Miki I respect is a woman that even keeping her ground (she accepts the fact that she was dating) also knows there are rules (she says she will talk with UFA about this and wait for their decision), so I guess they just reached an agreement. But to say "she's Miki she can do whatever she wants" is, IMHO, putting her down to Paris Hilton level, and Miki is a lot better than that

Whoa!!!   I didn't anything like that.  of course she's no Paris Hilton.  She is wwaaaaayyyyyyyy  much better than that.  Believe me, i have much respect for Mikitty.  what i meant from that comment is just a funny remark or comment on the situation.  i do believe that she's no spoiled celebrity that just disregard what others say or think and just do whatever the hell she want to without thinking of the consequences... i don't think of her like that. 

This comment:
Plus, it's Miki, she's tough and mean... our evil queen. she do whatever the hell she wants...hehehe

what i actually meant from this is, with a some funny thrown in, is that she is tough, she'll survive the scandal and still kept her place in H!P.  what i'm trying to be funny at is that miki is really tough and scary, she'll boss around the H!P members and even the UFA staff is she wants to,  haha,  :lol:  u see, funny.    XD

Aw, and just when I thought she would go off the hook. Well, it's Miki Fujimoto quitting, not Miki Fujimoto sacked, so it's her decision I guess, and have to respect it. Shame she doesn't get the graduation concert she deserves. I hope she continues as a solo artist/GAM, because I just can't imagine H!P without her. Best of luck in anything you do Miki! And congrats to Ai-chan and Risa, the new leader/sub-leader of MM!

Blah, I'll never believe it was her own decision. She was probably under very big pressure to quit in order to save the image of the group. Why would she quit now? Being in MM was good for her popularity, career and money. Now she's automatically degraded to a b-class H!P artist, not even a soloist, just an Ayaya's side-kick. And surely she didn't leave because she believed her affair marred has MM's reputation, she never seemed to care about the group that much.

It makes me so damn sad and annoyed, because I really adore Miki and her quitting MM means we'll won't be seeing that much of her from now on.

I'll say this... if her relationship with the guy ends in a month...and its his fault... then I'll be angry... if not I'll just be sad about it for awhile... I had faith that miki's attitude and reasoning would keep her safe... she 22 and she's an adult... and still seemed to stay popular even after the news... but I guess it didn't hold.

*moment of silence*

She'll still be around, and we are back to the Momusu 9.... I was really getting use to the idea of 10 of them though... and the money to pay for removing miki's character from haromoni@ after they just got yossie's character out... tsktsk.... I bet they are pushing for the chinese musume to get in as soon as possible...

Uh-oh, jus' a day too soon, Blu-Cherri...  but I was starting to hope the same way!  But it wasn't to be...

Guess I'm hopeful that GAM will survive and maybe she'll return to solo work;  UFA would be financially stupid not to keep her around, as she would surely have one of their idol's biggest single personal followings.  Depends what she wants too tho.

Anyone got an exact translation of an official announcement?  Over at Hello Online it only mentions Momusu, nothing else so far.

It seems like almost a replica of Mari;  but I hope we see Miki again quicker than Mari took to re-emerge, and in a more active role!

Momusu?  Tsunku is gonna hafta find some serious talent, but quick, if they're gonna have a future...  I figured we had at least 12 months of Miki as leader before we even had to think about it (and so did Tsunku, I guess!)  There IS talent among the remaining members, but some are young and inexperienced, and I guess Ai-chan and Risa won't be around forever either.

Anyone think Tsunku would be in the market for a half-dozen or so chastity belts?

Even though Miki isn't leader perhaps things will still work out for the hawaii fan's Dj... a little faith...

Its a shock...

And whether she was forced to or not it happened... ther are a million possibilities... she was forced to, or perhaps she tried to push for her freedom and it went too far, or she wanted out, or she didn't think she'd have to do it cause of her age... there could be any combination...and till we get more information all we can do is whatever we are doing... whether its grieving, complaining, being angry or sad...

eitherway... I'm sure there are still many who keep their flags and penlights waving...for Miki and all she is... right?

Miki's still Miki, so I don't think they'll get rid of her radio deals... though I can't say that in full confidence... but think of all the letters they'll have to filter through asking her why she quit and if she wanted to.

I wonder if they are making signs for the GAM tour already... Wotas asking why or giving extra support cause she quit... hmm this is one of those cultural things that would be interesting to feel first hand.

I still hope to see her for H!P concerts... singing songs randomly with the musume like the old days... ^^ but I accept that new times are ahead, for both MM and MIKI, so I shall end my posts as I seem to constantly do lately with a shout

GO MIKI!

Edit: they annouced she's not gonna be in the anniversary concert T_T... I guess thats her punishment?

AHHH!!!  this is like the Yaguchi incident all over again.  22y.o., just became leader, have a bf, resigns from MM.  but other than MM, miki have GAM and a solo career.  i expected this would happen, seems inevitable...  but i hope this is ONLY what happens, the worst case scenario.  Miki is an important part of H!P, i believe, she is the other half of GAM, to just ended like that seems ridiculous, and a waste.  now she can concentrate on GAM more, without having the burden of MM, and could still continue on with her solo career.  GOOD LUCK, MIKITTY!!

2007/06/01

Thank you for always supporting "Hello! Project"
Today we have an important announcement about "Morning Musume"

Fujimoto Miki on June 1, 2007, has resigned from "Morning Musume"

In the pages of the May 25th 2007 issue of the weekly pictoral magazine "Friday", an article concerning Fujimoto Miki was published. Concerning this subject, Fujimoto Miki herself had confirmed all the facts, and today has done several appearances. In these appearances, there was much discussion about the way some things have to be in regards of the members of the the group who are underage, from Fujimoto Miki, "for the distinction of myself as leader of Morning Musume, I wish to resign," she had said. Our company has acknowledged this proposal from Fujimoto Miki.

At this time, "Fujimoto Miki" from here on in terms of actions, Last weeks (5/26) performed Tour with Matsuura Aya as the unit "GAM" will be performed as planned. But at the July Concert "Hello!Project 2007 Summer 10th Anniversary Great Thanksgiving ~Haro*Pro Summer Festival~", she will not perform on stage. Please Understand. Furthermore Morning Musume's successor as leader is current subleader "Takahashi Ai" , subleader will be "Niigaki Risa".

Edit: Fixed some of my grammatical issues and the Month (Do'h... GOMEN that was silly of me to miscount)

Post by: JTRIX on June 01, 2007, 11:36:43 AM
heh... as I expect, now it's finally over.

I don't worry too much for Miki as if she goes back as a solo or remain in GAM, she'll still have certain amount of Miki-wota fans. Or if she does quit H!P and UFA, I'm sure other agencies will recruit her in (for example, maybe Avex as Miki auditioned before, or Miki can go on her dream as an enka-singer).

Meh.  She never seemed very happy in MM anyway.  It's just a shame it had to happen now, having just lost Hitomi and with the pandas coming in.  When Mari quit, the group was much larger and better equipped to cover a sudden hole in their roster.

I can't help but being happy for Miki. She has never shown love for MM. Haters and fans, they both love Miki outside of it.

So, finally we'll have a leader that luffs MM. When Takahashi broke her leg or something she returned to the concert.

Bye bye groping era. You were nothing spectacular XD

I no longer have a reason to care about anything MM or H!P anymore.

What is there to look foward to? Miki doing quiz shows for the next 20 years?

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here for being so great and for all the good times.

...just cause Miki resigned from MM doesn't mean its over... she's still doing the GAM tour which points she may just continue off with GAM in full power... I don't think you have to abandon everything yet right?...

Ya know even though I don't know everyone here...hearing someone bow out like that makes me sad...

It would be different in a diffierent situation I know...  but......

I'm not gonna get down... GO MIKI!

The question I guess we sit on now is how deep with this "punishment" go...so to speak... mari was out of doing things for awhile... but for her she didn't have anything lined up... Miki is able to continuing doing the GAM tour but she won't be in the anniversary concert... that sounds like its more because of what people will think of her being around them so soon... in a sense its probably her punishment to be kept away from them in public settings for a little bit... which can possibly affect things like youngtown... and gatas... or not... we just gotta wait and see what turns out...

Miki will be miki... I don't think they can keep her out of the spotlight for long... GO MIKI!

Morning Musume will not be the same without Mikitty. She's not your average idol, and that's exactly why she stood out. Takahashi and Niigaki leadership is great, but i fear that it's "everybody is happy kawaiiness" from now on.
I will definetely miss her "i should club them and eat their bones" stare...(hope you get this)

Anyway... WORST DAY EVER!!!

Not at all being critical of your opinion, though I don't share it, Mal; but just curious about why you would like to see the end of GAM?

... or Miki can go on her dream as an enka-singer).
Serious?  She has sometime said she would like to end up as an enka singer?

Because GAM is a musical failure, and we'd much rather see the girls as solo artists again. I'm sure Mal is mostly pissed, and rightfully so, about the fact that it's been aeons since Aya's last solo single.

Post by: JFC on June 01, 2007, 01:59:12 PM
So I wake up this morning, do my usual quick scan through my bookmarked trackers to see if there's anything I want before heading out to work, and I run into the announcement of this over at H!O. I can't help but wonder how much of the actual "request to resign" was actually Miki's idea and how much was UFA's (i.e. Yamazaki's) idea. If nothing else, the fact that they waited a whole week to make this "announcement" with Miki, when Mari's was made around a day or two after she was FRIDAY'd, just makes it look a little fishy to me.


Personally, I've got mixed emotions about this. Am I surprised? Not really. Disappointed? Yeah, I'll admit I am. A little pissed off? Yeah, I'll admit that too, because now it means that Miki won't be on any more Haromoni@ episodes. It also means I need to find a new favourite MM member (right now I'm thinking Reina). On the plus side, she can resume her solo career and have more time for GAM pseudo-lesbianism.  :D


I can't help but see the reign of Aichan/Risa to be a newer version of Kaori/Nacchi (except Nacchi was never officially subleader). One of them will be the official leader, and will be called on to do the interview segments, but the other will definitely be the more animated one and will draw more of the focus in terms of personality. I love Aichan, but she can be as dull as a tree stump. Miki was definitely one of the few remaining MM members that had a distinct personality and who could hold her own in an interview. UFA has quite a bit of work ahead of them.

I am quite happy that she's left and that she left the honourable way (i.e. through fulfilment of duty). Miki in MM was never something that was supposed to perpetuate forever and anyway, she's got too much of a personality to be tied down and hidden in a group for long.

Solo/ Non-MM Mikitty still =  :mon lovelaff:

1st it was Aibon
Next comes Non-chan
Now is Mikitti!!!
The older generations are definately showing their unhappiness to UFA. Aibon, Nonchan n Mikitti belongs to the "i'm not happy i will show it out and i will do something to it category" I'm scared that the rest of the older gens will give us similiar shocks sooner or later!!! Seeing from this pattern...Gocchin, Yossie n Rika-chan might shock us anytime...I'll say the Ganko family n Penguin curse......

Because GAM is a musical failure, and we'd much rather see the girls as solo artists again. I'm sure Mal is mostly pissed, and rightfully so, about the fact that it's been aeons since Aya's last solo single.

Ah, ok...  I get that!  I guess my main thing with GAM is that I am totally into the legs of both Ayaya and Miki, and any opportunity to see both pairs at once just has me drooling.  Stuff the music, gimme the gams! :w00t:  Seriously, though, I have to admit that my musical taste is probably not all that sophisticated, which means that I do actually love both "Melodies" and "Lu Lu Lu" ("Thanks!" does a little less for me, but still quite like it too).

HOWEVER...  since you make that point, I find myself warming to it.  If the only way we're gonna still see Miki is for GAM to continue, then please let it do so!  But if Miki can pick up the solo career she lost more than 4 years ago, and Ayaya resume her magificent solo work, I'll put up with only seeing their legs separately...  um, I mean "individually"...  not separately as in separated...  though I'd like that too, and always love it when the girls dance with legs apart (do they realize how provocative that is?)  Um...  now I'm truly rambling, so I'll quit.

Edit:
I love Aichan, but she can be as dull as a tree stump.
Heh heh, that's gotta be a quotable quote to remember!!  (Oh, and yeah, I love Ai-chan too, but you gotta laugh!)   :P :D XD :lol:

Think that would suit all the best.  Miki wants to leave, Miki wants to continue her relationship, Miki wants to go solo, nothing could ever attract her and MM together.  Not a good thing for MM to lose her and to get another resignation scandal, but after the incidence there's no other choice.

Anyway, I'm happy for Miki. I like her without Morning Musume doing her own thing (or with GAM). Plus, she doesn't want to quit dating the guy... so maybe this allows her to be happy. It's really more of a loss for Momusu than it is for Miki.

Plus, I was SO waiting TakaGaki Musume and it came WAY sooner than I expected.   :wub:

Anyone see a pattern here? Rika graduates, Mari scandal. Yossi grads, Miki scandal. Will this mean a Gaki-san scandal when Ai-chan graduates? *knocks on wood* I hope Risa has a good head on her shoulders and doesn't go the way of her seniors.

So no Miki in the 34th single performances?

Ya know, I wonder if the whole thing was a scam to get Miki back to soloing. She may have set it up herself in order to escape MM or UFA set it up as way get her out earlier. They may not have wanted her trapped as leader for years makeing half the money she would out of MM. It was nice having such a dicotic personality like Miki's among all the other happy-go-lucky girls in MM, so I will miss that. But I never liked her in MM, I loved her as a soloist and hope to see her back to that soon.
As talented and professional as Takashi is, I sure hope she starts pushing more personality now. Or maybe they should leave that to Gaki. Ai the confident example and Risa as the fun, genki mood-altering sub-leader. It should be an intersting transition for MM. Over the last 7 years since I been a fan, I've seen them comeback time and time again. Everytime something like this happens you think its the end, but it turns out to just be a new begining. So MM will survive like they always do and most of us will still love them and support them.
I just hope this doesn't effect GAM. I love that group, even though I'd like to see Aya doing more.

It's just a shame that we know most of these girls are probably dating someone. The reason they are still in MM is just because they have not been uncovered by friday or anyone yet.

UFA/the girls are like telling us 'did you see me dating with someone ? no ? then i guess i can still continue to be in MM then" I mean i rather see the girls/UFA admitting that these girls have partners and let the fans judge on whether to see MM disband or from now on let these girls have their own private life and still be in MM/C-ute/Berryz whatever.

But i guess life is not perfect and it shouldn't be, it's what makes life interesting isn't it. :|

Anyway Miki and Eri will still be my 2 most favourite members of MM ever. Ganbare futari ~

I can't say I'm crushed.

Miki never seemed to completely enjoy being in MM in the first place, and I'm glad that there's the possibility that she can do solo work once again.

What I AM disappointed about is that Miki doesn't get the chance to have her own graduation by leaving like this. I don't like to see any of the girls just magically disappear from the group, and even though I'm not terribly disappointed about her leaving, I still think she deserved her own graduation.

I think Miki is way too big in H!P to disappear altogether at this point. I really hope she continues with GAM and has her own solo work going once again.

As for MM, I'm SO excited for the Taka/Gaki reign. Go girls!  :heart:

I'm pretty glad she left. I like her better outside MM. Wish she could have gotten a nice grad though... Time for a 9th gen audition to find a real ace :wink:

Yay for the reign of the gokkies! (I wish Konno was still around to be sub though. I think she would have made agood leader <-biased)

So many scandals lately, you can't help but just *sigh* and laugh at the craziness ><

I blame Matthew and Yossie!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaxKcgdTqUY
lol, just kidding, but I found the coincidence amusing when I watched Yossie's Matthew's BHTV episode recently.

It must be tough for these girls as they get older but to still maintain the group's image of being "pure and innocent". Maybe there should be an age limit set for automatic graduation XD

I'm going to miss Mikitty in Momusu. I don't know if she would have been a great leader or not, but I wish she were leader for at least a few more months before Ai had to step up for the job.

I can't help but see the reign of Aichan/Risa to be a newer version of Kaori/Nacchi (except Nacchi was never officially subleader). One of them will be the official leader, and will be called on to do the interview segments, but the other will definitely be the more animated one and will draw more of the focus in terms of personality. I love Aichan, but she can be as dull as a tree stump. Miki was definitely one of the few remaining MM members that had a distinct personality and who could hold her own in an interview. UFA has quite a bit of work ahead of them.

JFC, that's a fantasitc comparison! Although, I don't think Ai's personality is dull, maybe more like she's... weird? XD
I can just imagine all the headaches she causes for Risa as she rambles on about Nakatomi no Kamatari or some other such nonsense =P

My image of Ai hasn't changed much since she joined, and she's come a long way since Te-te-re-te-te-re-te-te-re tekitty, but to me she's still the cute, spaced out girl with the funny Fukui accent.  :lol:

I just can't see her as leader right now. She seems more like the "senpai I can joke around with" to the rest of the girls. When Ai graduates in a few years to be a solo artist, I can see my beloved Gaki-san as a wonderful leader. To me, Risa looks like the "caring, loving, and motherly senpai" for the younger girls... but that could just be my biased opinion  :D

Mari's leadership was shorter, around 20 days. If Miki goes back solo, I'll jump off the window. She doesn't need MM, MM doesn't need her :D

TakaGaki YES!!

Although someone had already said this, but damn... now MM lost a very song singer in the group.
Well you guys/gals can say "Aichan or Gaki-san or Reina or Eri sings pretty good too" but if you really listen to the concerts you will notice how strong and good Miki's voice is compare to other member (even beside Aichan). Now that Miki is gone, one worry will be the quality (i.e. the vocals) of MM songs in the future.

Noooooooooo, i was expecting more miki-ai leads for the future songs, it worked out so great for the past couple songs and now miki has to leave T_T

No wonder miki was happy when yossi graduates, then she can pull off some tricks to get out of momusu, she had that planed all along. First of all there wasn;t any1 special in momusu that she hav to stay with, second she doesn't find chinese musume to be fun to work with, nor korean musume in the future.

Miki out of MM = less coverage of her = bad = no more groping + no more Eri slaving = sad = 5th gen reigning + solo? + GAM? = support + hope

Just my 2 cents. Miki was so popular in MM because she was so "non-MM". I also think it's a shame that she doesn't get a grad concert from MM. But she could still get one from GAM and soloing, right? (but that is 10 years later!!~ >.<)
I see many supporting the TakaGaki. I think it'll go nicely! Actually, I hope Reina goes back to her older image and starts some sparks in the group, her cute image right now feels a little weird. The group now just seem to lack the 'character' without Miki.

P.S. I totally agree with JTRIXs comment above.  :lol:

With Miki gone, the Ai-Miki-Reina/Koharu trio is broken. Honestly, aren't you tired of the same girls leading the songs again and again? Now there are more possibilities of background girls like Kamei and Niigaki that have never got a chance to shine.

ya... and it will be interesting to see the outcome of different combination in different styles of songs. But again, that will only be good if the quality of the songs (not just based on Tsunku making the songs, but also how good the girls will sing them) is keep good. I like MM "BUT" I also want to hear good songs too!

So, anyone want to take bets on how much time will pass before the next scandal? At the rate H!P's going, I'm guessing next month someone else'll get Friday'd. :(

DUDE!  DON'T JINX IT!!!  :angry1:

But anywayz....  Although i love Miki and her being in MoMusu, Koi-ING the chemistry between the girls, their interactions.... yet i not that sad for miki personally.  i mean, MoMusu is going through a rough time without Miki, a great singer.  but i'll believe they'll last, and the great combi is leading, haha...

back to the point...
i believe that Miki loves MoMusu, i really do, but i don't think that she like to be in MoMusu, maybe she do, but she probably rather be a soloist. imo, i think that she reluctantly joins MoMusu just to see how it'll go, and she became friends with them and eventually love them.  She made a best friend in MoMusu, Yossie.  and after yossie graduation, she probably don't know a good reason to stay... and i don't mean she purposely did the scandal in order to get away, probably just a coincidence that it happen. 

even with all this, i believe she still supports MoMusu and MoMusu will support her.  and she being in H!P still would not change their relationship, i hope.  although that would mean that they'll have less interaction with the girls, especially with this scandal, but in the future she can be with them once again (on tv, in public, appearances, etc.) and we can still see the great chemistry. hoping...

^ok them having boyfriends or not, if it gets publicized, it'll possibly ruin them, that is what i don't want. 

look.  I'm....in one way or another, accept that idea that they have boyfriends, since i've been playing such scenario over and over in my head. though i'm not to happy about the idea.  i do wish them luck and happiness.  i also think that if they're happy, i'm okay with that.  seeing them happy make me happy.  that's my opinion.  but still... hearing about it, makes me a lil sad.  but i'll eventually get over it.

 but the thing is... i don't wanna hear about now, i don't want them to be ruin from such scandals.  period.

i think that there is a way to break the news about such things to fans.  to ease it in, gradually, and let them accept it in an easy fashion.  but so far, there is no way that it could happen, at least i haven't seen it.  it's all about the shocking news, then people started accepting that fact.  but then it takes time and a lot of understanding....or not.

Fujimoto and Yoshizawa leaving so near to each other is a big hit for Morning Musume, especially on talk shows, where most of the other girls don't have much to say. The next Utaban appearance is going to be more awkward and shorter than ever.

You know....I'm not too shocked cause I figured that was gonna happen...But that still doesn't keep me from being kinda sad. She always seemed happy performing or playin in Gatas, but not exactly into other things, like H!M or HaroMoni@. She seemed bored, sans those interesting moments when she was groping or teasing Eri.

But who knows, maybe this will be a new start for Miki in her solo career and GAM. And now the auditions will have to pick more than one person and they must have a good voice. I'm not saying that Aika's is horrible or anything, but Miki's voice is kinda hard to replace. Looking forward to her future and TakaGaki reign.

Just don't kick her out of H!P alltogether or heads will roll.

Someone needs to step up. Not sure who that will be. Reina is the only one I see currently that might be able to increase her presence some. Sayumi has pigeon-holed herself too much.

Miki was definitely one of the tops in MM... no questions about it. She was one of the well-known H!P girl as well in terms of popularity and with her gone now, the future of MM is certainly looking grim.  Unless Tsunku pulls a miracle out of his ass... this could be the beginning of the end.  :-\

So something finally comes out of it. Took them long enough. Can't say I'm surprised about the outcome.

There goes my remaining reason to love momusu, along with my H!P wota-ness. My fandom has been waining for the last few months, and now I have a reason to finally let go of it. It's not to say my interest is completely gone, there are still certain girl that I really like, and I'd still like to see what goes on in H!P. I'll still be here, so you won't miss my stupid criticisms.

I'll still support Miki, even if she does these stupid things that end up ruining her career. I was there when she was stuck into momusu, and I'm still here as she gets pulled out. Whether she got kicked out or she chose to leave, doesn't even matter. I'd just like to see where she goes from here, and I will follow her.

i think miki may be the anti-gaki
for vocals, kamei needs to get a bigger role. koharu needs to ditch the cute and with it the grating nasal vocals.. i thought she would have been better based on what she was when she joined.... am sure she can improve. reina needs to be kicked out of momusu once they don't need her vocals. bwhahahahha

Personally, I think she planned it, with UFA. Except for the get busted part. UFA says "there's no proof!" to show they're supporting Miki, she pulls the "zomg i'm not fit for the group now that people know i'm not a virgin QQ" act, then quits. But UFA can then show its good side and be "Oh! You quit, but we're good to the fans, so here, go solo with the added publicity! $_$".

Complex and unbelievable? I think not.

You're actually both off track. Miki does have the penchant for inconsistency. The only songs she seems to handle well nearly every time live, are her solo career tracks. She has better breathing technique than Aichan, but it doesn't stop her from being even off key at times. Everything else is just a matter of taste. Some people don't like Miki's nasal tone, and so forth.

And you notice inconsistency easier with the better singers anyway, since you expect just the best from them. At least I'm the most harsh with Miki & Aichan.

Not if my plan all works out.
See I've been following all the patterns lately and have concluded that Okada Yui will actually be brought into Morning Musume as the new leader.
They'll release an album titled "Yui Okada ni Morning Musume" and sales will reach an all time high and help fund a project to use millions of tug boats to pull Japan down to the Southern Hemisphere where it will then reside next to Australia and UFA will create an official Australian fanclub.
And Miki will go solo and rival such names as Kylie Minogue and Rika will be a hot news presenter/tv personality on random shows and Australia will be able to pickup Japan's TV stations and get better Internet off them. And Japan can eat all Australia's meat and stuff.

The only songs she seems to handle well nearly every time live, are her solo career tracks.

That's probably cause she doesn't give a shit about singing her best in songs other than her own lol

Which is why she needs to go back solo :P


If she doesn't, I say we form a band and get Miki as our vocalist!

I think a lot of Miki fans were more Miki fans than MM fans.

I'm really glad that Miki got out of Momusu ~ It seemed like she never really wanted to be in it in the first place, and it sucked that they pushed her out of her solo career to join the group. She only released one album and never really got a chance to establish herself more as a soloist. I hope she has that chance now, and that we can expect more solo Miki in the future! :heart:

1. Miki fucks up.
2. Friday tells everyone Miki fucked up.
3. UFA comments Miki didn't fuck up.
4. UFA nudges Miki meaningfully.
5. Miki tells everyone she fucked up.
6. UFA goes 'DOH!'
7. UFA bitch slaps Miki.
8. UFA gives Miki the usual quitting speech on paper.
9. Miki reads the paper, trying not to sound too bored.
10. Miki gets the fuck out of MM.
My addition:
11. Miki goes on to greater GAM and solo glory. :rockon:

Somehow I feel that this whole Miki leaving MM mess was planned. 

She isn't very close to most of the current MM members as we know it, the group isnt getting a major boost in sales either, and with her being the new leader, im guessing she just doesnt want to/couldnt handle the burden of babysitting the other girls as well as Yossie can when she was still there.

She says the reason why she is leaving was because she violated the leadership role... saying how she has a heavy responsibility towards guiding other members.  If she REALLY cared about this so much, she wouldnt have considered going out with a guy, let alone spending 3 consecutive days with him.  On top of that, she wouldve known with all the recent scandals of Kago and Tsuji that the paparazzi are going to be hot of their tails, hunting for any dirt that can find.

Not if my plan all works out.
See I've been following all the patterns lately and have concluded that Okada Yui will actually be brought into Morning Musume as the new leader.
They'll release an album titled "Yui Okada ni Morning Musume" and sales will reach an all time high and help fund a project to use millions of tug boats to pull Japan down to the Southern Hemisphere where it will then reside next to Australia and UFA will create an official Australian fanclub.
And Miki will go solo and rival such names as Kylie Minogue and Rika will be a hot news presenter/tv personality on random shows and Australia will be able to pickup Japan's TV stations and get better Internet off them. And Japan can eat all Australia's meat and stuff.

Oh, man, ebc!!  You sure know how to dream big!!  I love every detail of all that   :w00t:  Yui as leader of MM, yes please, I'd like to see that!!!  Lots of good Aussie connections for Japan and H!P - oh, please, yes!!  Miki touring Australia solo like Kylie, even!?  She would bring the house down all over the country.  So who knows what benefits Miki's move might lead to for us, eh?   :P

Yeah, when you think of the whole Kago and Tsuji (well Kago at least) scandal situation, you can't help but think she did it on purpose. I don't think she's stupid enough to do it in light of all that if she didn't want out. Plus she admitted it after UFA tried to cover her ass. XD

Things still continues like nothing is happening,  she still working her regular shows and whatnot.  that's a good thing.  the storm has pass and everyone's moving on. 
I heard a good saying and i think it's describe Miki very well, "What doesn't kill you will only make u stronger." although it's maybe be too early to say, but i believe Miki's H!P solo career and GAM activites will continue, no matter what i still always hope she'll be in H!P. i don't wish that she'll join up with any other agency. just because she have great friends like Ayaya and Yossie as well as the other H!P members, love them together.  i hope i don't jinx anything...

So, anyone want to take bets on how much time will pass before the next scandal? At the rate H!P's going, I'm guessing next month someone else'll get Friday'd. :(

DUDE!  DON'T JINX IT!!!  :angry1:

But anywayz....  Although i love Miki and her being in MoMusu, Koi-ING the chemistry between the girls, their interactions.... yet i not that sad for miki personally.  i mean, MoMusu is going through a rough time without Miki, a great singer.  but i'll believe they'll last, and the great combi is leading, haha...

back to the point...
i believe that Miki loves MoMusu, i really do, but i don't think that she like to be in MoMusu, maybe she do, but she probably rather be a soloist. imo, i think that she reluctantly joins MoMusu just to see how it'll go, and she became friends with them and eventually love them.  She made a best friend in MoMusu, Yossie.  and after yossie graduation, she probably don't know a good reason to stay... and i don't mean she purposely did the scandal in order to get away, probably just a coincidence that it happen. 

even with all this, i believe she still supports MoMusu and MoMusu will support her.  and she being in H!P still would not change their relationship, i hope.  although that would mean that they'll have less interaction with the girls, especially with this scandal, but in the future she can be with them once again (on tv, in public, appearances, etc.) and we can still see the great chemistry. hoping...


exactly wat i meant earlier, and yes it might be just a coincidence that the scandal happened and she decided to leave even when UFA backed her up. well one thing for sure, the storm is gone and i think some1 mentioned it that many of her fans love her > MM, so she should be ok... GO ON AND SHINE MORE MIKI, WE LOVE TO HAV A NEW SOLO SINGLE OUT SOON!!! hope UFA is not mad at her and freeze her productions, but it all comes down to $$$, and i think miki is on-going stock that is worth to invest on

Ugh. Nothing particularly good will come of this.

Miki resume her solo career? Anyone remember iida kaori? Anyone noticed her solo career lately? Or all the singles mari has released since her resignation?

And much as I totally adore both ai and risa, and would not kick either one out of my bed, the two of them together don't have half of miki's personality.

In my mind miki was the leader in terms of interesting antics since the gooch left. And antics are what make the lovable bunch interesting.

I was really wanting an utaban appearance with miki as leader....

To the guys who are happy with this cause Miki is getting a solo career, I'm sorry but my thoughts are that she ISN'T having a solo career.

- She fucked up, so UFA is losing money, they wouldn't be happy with her.

- They announced that she won't be in the H!P summer concert, doesn't sound suspicious?

- Look at the latest GAM sales (not good), which have Ayaya in it too, look at the last soloist sales, Maki which is the biggest, didn't sell well. Nacci wasn't nothing spectacular and Ayaya's last single didnt even get a top 10 (albeit long ago), and her last album didn't fare too well either.

What in the world makes you think Miki will do better than any of those more popular soloists? And just after an scandal? I know wotas have been supportive, but what about the rest? most people who had a mild interest or aren't as hardcore may not care for her now, at all. She won't get any new fans ("hey, look, it's the girl who said: fuck it, I'm dating and so what!!. Let's buy her stuff!!"), she lost some of them instead.

Miki had the chance to solve this, but she just didn't want to, she was selfish (the group certainly needs her, so she's screwing her friends...) and now she's just probably be like mari doing some TV stuff, or even she'll just be out of H!P for good...

Anyway, this will be a real test for Aichan, but as I read about what happened in the concert tour where she fall of the stairs, all the girls were really supportive, as the fans. She also could have rested in the hospital, but she performed, sitting, since she couldn't dance, but she tried really hard. The girls love her and she loves MM. She'll make a great leader, she just needs some adjusting time and I also believe that when there's need, the real leader comes out of you. I'm sure Takagaki will be a fine era.

@Parhelion69

All speculation from stupid me. :oops:

For soloists. Koharu is also soloing on the side, and she's doing great in the charts. But comparing is childish, so I'll stop with that.
On the other hand, seeing all the H!P soloists you listed (and a few not listed) getting such so-so sales and UFA still keeping them for so many years, wouldn't you expect UFA to hope Miki solo. Since she's still got fans, has talent, experience in soloing and doing a tour right now. Not to mention this news. I can only see $$$$.
The only reason would be her, touch wood, not wanting to sing solo. Which I don't see happening (darn, that's what I thought for confirming the boyfriend thing too...).

As for her leaving MM, she wouldn't have stayed long anyways with a (guessing) graduation 1/2 to 1 year away most. So the difference of the MM team in that case wouldn't have been that different from now. It was just an earlier wake up call for the members.
I'm just worried MM will go back to the cute cute (coughboringcough) image of 1st gen MM, instead of the build-up of the cool/sexy image that egao and kanashimi made. :O

Momusu needed Miki as much it needed Nacchi when she graduated. Even if UFA was pissed at Miki for whatever reason, kicking her out of the group will not work to their advantage. If it was Miki's choice, she pretty much screwed the group over, and that would be a selfish act. The group loses fans every time someone leaves. With even less vocal talent within the group and the average age of the group getting even lower, I can only see the popularity of the group among non-wota decreasing. H!P doesn't need another kids group.

Day 2: UFA: You don't have proof.
Day 3: Miki: Yes I date a boy
-Silence days-
Day 7: Miki to UFA: I want to quit! What else do you want me to do?
Day 8: UFA: We sadly announce that Miki happily quits

XD

Just like with Yaguchi, UFA knows she was as important as Miki is. Well, was.
I totally agree with Asmo.

Btw...
Day 9: Support from fans at GAM concert. Oh yeaaaah.

It's 'selfish' because it doesn't only affect her life/career but it affects other's, too. It's not like she was a soloist then decided to retire. She was a part of the group. What a group member does affects the whole group.

To add on what tama-chan has already said, she was "selfish" because not only she was a part of a group, she was the leader as well... which amplifies the affect that much more. 

Also, if she wanted to started a new life, she couldve done it in a more professional manner instead of getting caught by the paparazzi... which in the end damages the reputation of not just MM, but of the entire H!P/UFA as well.

All I know is that for 10 years Morning Musume has survived lots of changes, proving that, unlike some may wish, it is greater than the individuals that make it. Every time a big player (and Miki is a big player) leaves, the Nostradamus wannabes come out with the doomsday line. So far they have been wrong.  I will never understand the point of view of some people that see MM as just their favorite and then some girls doing chorus and being background dancers for her.

All I know is that for 10 years Morning Musume has survived lots of changes, proving that, unlike some may wish, it is greater than the individuals that make it. Every time a big player (and Miki is a big player) leaves, the Nostradamus wannabes come out with the doomsday line. So far they have been wrong.  I will never understand the point of view of some people that see MM as just their favorite and then some girls doing chorus and being background dancers for her.

QFT. THANK YOU! I agree completely.
MM has gone through a LOT of girls-- wonderful personalities and skilled vocalists alike; all of them are irreplacable in their own right, but just because Miki is leaving doesn't mean that MM is heading for certain doom here. MM still has many talented members in it. Miki will be missed, but this is far from the end of MM.

The good thing about when times are dark... and when someone walks out claiming the end of all things, there's always a light who picks up the torch and guides people back on the path!... Miki may be gone but thats right MM is not a person or a group of people anymore... its a force, a concept... and it'll keep going for as long as the name stands. So yes Reyfer I don't get it either, but aren't you glad there are people around like you who agree, MM is not over, and Miki may be gone but she's still supported as well!

GO EVERYONE!!!

Not the end....But a NEW BEGINNING!
I really like this statement and should be quoted.

And as Reyfer says, we've lost count with the "doomsday" announcements. Mari was a much bigger player than Miki ever was, she left and momosu didn't decrease sales in a huge way.

As I saw on a JPM thread, UFA is 4th in the music agencies who payed the most taxes last year, Jhonnys entertainement was first, avex was sixth (take that!) and UFG was tenth. So they ARE making loads of money, H!P is FAR from being over, and momosu, being the main group, WILL STAY as long as they make money. Momosu's sales aren't that great, but they do generate good revenue for UF*. Merchandise, concerts, and overseas sales, make them very profitable, so "Doom" is far from being true. If I'm allowed, I could post the JPM thread (or look for it yourselves :P)

P.S: On the H!P 2007 summer 10th anniversary concert, these groups are participating: MM, Biyuuden, Berryz, Cute, Melon Kinenbi and H!P eggs. There's no GAM, I hope it doesn't mean the group will be put on hiatus. Maybe Miki is out of H!P in a singing career, much like Mari who barely sings and only on some ocasions and does more TV stuff... As I said before I don't think Miki is doing a solo career...

IIRC, GAM wasn't going to be in the summer tour even before this scandal mess happened...

Ooh, thanks, Parhelion. That's very interesting. I have no idea that UFA paid more tax than Avex. :o

Posting link to the thread would be okay, I guess. Since there's nothing to leech. :P

Wow.. if UFA pays more, why do we get cheap ass PVs?? I think it all goes to the concerts! *points to Berryz SSA concert* They used FIREWORKS! FIREWORKS ARE EXPENSIVE!!!!

Actually, I believe their main revenue is concerts.  They make most of their money from concerts, and thats why they have so many.

CD sales are just a small percentage of their revenues. They get the most from concerts and merchandise (PBs, trading cards, T-shirts, etc...), and sponsorships (Pocky, Rakuten Eagles, Skylark Restaurants, etc...).

k, here's the link to the taxes UF* payed:

http://www.jpopmusic.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=43199&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=2730

It's in japanese, but Mr. Waffles translated some of it, so here it is:

#1 is Johnnys
#2 is Shiki Theatre Company (they do all the broadway musicals in Japan)
#3 is Yomiuri, the newspaper guys (Mainichi and such)
#4 is Upfront Agency
#5 is Yoshimoto, the comedian agency (downtown, london boots etc)
#6 is Avex
#7 is Vision Factory (namie amuro etc)
#8 is Horipro, a talent agency (wada akiko etc)
#9 is something about baseball? I cbf looking 
#10 is Upfront Group

read the thread for some actual numbers.

I hope this will shut up all the people that say: "IT'S DOOMSDAY, the end of momosu!!". In fact, that's far from being true. :)

Actually it's hard to imagine doomsday for MM. The whole concept of group is made for survival. No one is irreplaceable and the group's style and members can be always changed to something popular enough. However for many fans the doomsday of MM is the day their favorite members leaves the group.

Nippon Professional Baseball.
I'm surprised that it's way down at #9. :o

Makes you wonder how much they earn each year. Coz from the 21st anniversary ad I saw, they don't have big stars. :-\

ETA: Oh, and at #3, i don't think it's the whole Yomiuri. Just Yomiuri Giants, the baseball team.

Fujimoto Miki "being suspended" from Youngtown confirmed.

Replacement will be Michishige Sayumi, and in that respect they are opening a new corner, temporarily called "Youngtown no kokoroe" (Youngtown's knowledge). Something like that anyway.

She will also not be featured on the new single "Onna ni Sachi are"

Things are getting interesting. I had already assumed kicking her out of MM would be enough of a punishment (well, a boon to some) but I wonder if UFA  want to make another example out of her. At least she wasn't outright suspended from all activity, but then again the GAM tour was already underway and they had already seen how the wota react to her during those concerts.

So, what else? Is she still doing Dokimiki? And is that Young Town suspension from just the next ep, or longer?

Is she still doing Dokimiki?

Yes, she is still doing Dokimiki Night. CBC modified the logo to "Fujimoto Miki no Dokimiki Night" instead of "Morning Musume Fujimoto Miki no Dokimiki Night", and of course the intro and bumpers in this week's show were modified to "Fujimoto Miki no Dokimiki Night" too. So she's still keeping that, she just won't be appearing on Young Town.

If I had to make a theory it would be her not being able to go on young town is based on the fact that she admitted it on there... they were ready to deny everything and right after they did she was there saying I'm sorry it happened. So perhaps they felt they needed to get her out of there for the time being to reduce the damage?

Here's my theory: she got ass-whooped by Sanma. Must've been traumatic.

I really don't get the new replacement, bring on the new sub-leader, damnit'.

Yeah, before she gives more details.  Sanma-san will poke at her on the air and she'll give more answers.  And Sanma-san is a fan of 24, so he knows how to interrogate people. >_>

Only Miki's lines. They would have to have been reassigned to someone else.

They will either go two ways with the PV. Rerecord the entire PV or they can just make it all close-ups and edit Miki out...

^ Well, they'd only have to do that if they had already shot it. If they had, it's not that difficult to re-shoot and edit a few scenes. If they haven't shot it yet, no worries.

all those Miki sama underlings in her romantic ukare mode days, but maybe its too late now
