QuoteNotice Regarding Morning Musume Takahashi Ai GraduationDuring January 9th's concert at Nakano Sun Plaza, 5th generation member Takahashi Ai announced that she will graduate from Morning Musume and Hello! Project during this autumn's Morning Musume tour.Around the time of 6th generation member Kamei Eri's request to graduate to focus on the treatment of her physical condition, I gave Takahashi Ai the advice, "It would be good to think in advance about the timing of your graduation and your future plans."It will be 10 years since the 5th generation entered Morning Musume.Takahashi Ai will have spent 3 years, 7 months as the 6th leader of the group.This makes Takahashi Ai the longest-enrolled member as well as longest-serving leader of Morning Musume.Looking back, I feel that she has truly performed admirably in her long duties.(In fact among the other graduated members and former leaders, she is the probably the first that comes to mind... but I digress.)Therefore, after discussing the matter with her, considering her activities afterward, and this month's earlier announcements, it was decided to announce her graduation during Morning Musume's fall tour.Though it has been not more than half a year since I last advised her, from now until the time the 9th generation members become familiar with Morning Musume's songs, learn their dances, and become comfortable in their roles as members, it appears much will be expected of their reliable leader.Please cherish her remaining time in Morning Musume!After Takahashi Ai's graduation, she will continue to be involved in music and theater activities, the details of which will be gradually announced.Thus after Takahashi Ai's graduation, fellow 5th generation member Niigaki Risa will inherit the role of leader, as well as the title of longest-enrolled member.January 9, 2011Morning Musume ProducerTsunku♂

QuoteTakahashi Ai's comment:I, Takahashi Ai, will graduate from Morning Musume as well as Hello! Project during this year's Morning Musume fall concert tour.When the graduations of Kamei Eri, Junjun, and Linlin were decided, Tsunku-san said to me, "Takahashi, the timing of your own graduation is all up to you!"So I considered it.Since this August will mark the 10th year since I entered Morning Musume and right afterward would be Morning Musume's fall tour, I thought it would be nice to graduate then.Even though I will graduate in around 9 months, until then I will do my best as leader to turn this re-formed Morning Musume into a reliable unit.In order to give the just-joined 9th generation members a sense of love and affection, I feel that there are many things I would like to tell them, so everyone please rest assured.

AnnouncementToday's first concert is over!There was an announcement at the live just now,Morning Musume leader Takahashi Ai-chan,at this fall's Morning Musume tour,will graduate from Morning Musume and Hello! Project.Because 9th generation members have just joined,it's too quick, and Sayumi too when she heard,was surprised, or rather,was hit by a bad feeling, or rather......Was so very sad.Everyone is leaving...But Ai-chan decided it after talking with Tsunku-san and all the adults.And also, because it's a big step for Ai-chan to make toward her dream,I'll support her!And although I say that, until graduationwe still have 9 months!!Until then, New 9 member Morning Musume will do our best!Now we have our second concert!Morning Musume will do our best!
Aichan, who announced her graduation We ate cake together When I heard about Ai-chan's graduation, I was really surprised.Who will be the next leader!?What'll happen, even though the new members just joined!?What about High-King!?.......Various things like that were going round and round in my head.But it was the way Ai-chan decided for herself.Let's all support her Because there's still time!!But time will pass before you know it.When we're just spacing out, before we know it the graduation time will come.Let's all make many fun memories together
モーニング娘。高橋愛 卒業に関しましてのコメント いつも応援くださいまして誠にありがとうございます。 1月9日の中野サンプラザ公演のステージ上にて本人より発表がございました通り、 第5期メンバー「高橋愛」は今年秋のモーニング娘。ツアーにて、モーニング娘。およびHello!Projectを卒業いたします。 昨年卒業した第6期メンバーの「亀井絵里」が体調改善の為卒業の申し出があった時、 高橋愛に対して「そろそろ高橋も卒業のタイミングやその後の事を考えておくと良いよ」 とアドバイスしてありました。 モーニング娘。に入ってすでに10年になる第5期メンバー。 高橋愛は6代目リーダーとして3年7カ月もやって来ました。 モーニング娘。の在籍日数もリーダー就任期間も一番長い「高橋愛」。 よくぞここまで本当に長く責任を果たしてくれてきたなぁって今振り返ればそう思います。 (他のどの卒業生や元リーダーたちも実は頭が一番あがらない人なのかも・・・余談失礼) という事で本人ともいろいろ相談し、その後の活動の事も考慮し 正月公演中に発表し、秋のモーニング娘。のツアーで卒業したいということなので、 満を持しての卒業と言う事を決定しました。 半年以上も先の話になるので、 ここから9期メンバーがモーニング娘。になじみ曲を覚え フリを覚えメンバーとしての自覚を感じるようになるまで しっかりリーダーとしての役割を果たしてもらうこととなりそうです。 楽しみながら最後までモーニング娘。をやり遂げてもらいましょう! 高橋愛の卒業後の活動は音楽を中心に舞台やライブ活動を続けて行きます。 詳しくはおいおいお伝えさせてください。 そして、高橋愛の卒業後は同じく第5期の新垣里沙がリーダーを引き継ぎ、 事実上過去最長のモーニング娘。在籍メンバーとなります。 2011年1月9日 モーニング娘。プロデューサー つんく♂
発表今日、一回目のコンサートが終了しました!ただいまの公演で発表があったのですが、モーニング娘。リーダー高橋愛ちゃんは、今年秋のモーニング娘。ツアーにて、モーニング娘。とハロー!プロジェクトを卒業します。9期メンバーが入ったばっかりだったし、急すぎて、さゆみも聞いたときは、ビックリしたとゆうか、嫌な予感が当たったとゆうか……すごい寂しいです。みんなやめていっちゃう…でもあいちゃんがつんくさんや大人の人たちとたくさん話して決めたこと。そして、あいちゃんの夢に向かっての大きな一歩なので、応援します!ってゆっても卒業までは9ヶ月あります!!それまで今の新生モーニング娘。9人でがんばります!今日は、今から二回目のコンサートがぁります!モーニング娘。、がんばります(≧∇≦)
They should have so announced this later. I was all happy with the new 9th gen but now all I'll be thinking of is Ai chan's grad. Even if it's sometime off...I just can't be as excited for the new morning musume.....
