I can't even access their forum!
Would you mind contacting them for me? I could write something up
PM me what you want to tell or ask 'em, and i'll pass it to someone in charge.
Cool, thanks!
Man, that looked like it hurt a lot.
And u believe that?
Where's a nice graduation episode for Kaori then in Utaban? Coz I didn't see anything special.
Nacchi got a super episode and Kaori...nothing.
OF COURSE I believe that. Why wouldn't I? The format of each Utaban taping isn't up to the hosts, you know...they have writers that basically tell them what to talk about in each episode. That's why they have their daihon's with them. They have to stay within the time gap they're given, which is why some Morning Musume appearances are edited a bit to fill the time gap.
I wouldn't be surprised if Takaaki asked to have a special episode for Kaori...perhaps the writers disagreed? The MM appearances have been lackluster for the past few years anyhow, so I'm sure the writers felt that a graduation special for Kaori wasn't needed. Although, they had one for Kei two years ago...but seeing all the hell they put her through, I think she certainly deserved one. Of course Kaori got just as much hell in the earlier days, but that was quite awhile ago. Now she's pretty quiet whenever she appears on Utaban. It seems the hosts no longer focus on her (I'm sure it's the writers that tell them who to focus on).
Kaori used to be my favorite member back in 1999, but I never "hated" Utaban or the hosts for what they did to her. Like I said before, they bully because they love. You gotta admit all the classic Johnson moments were great. It's not just Kaori they pick on either...they're pretty harsh to Yuko whenever she appears as well.
BTW, the Nacchi graduation episode was nothing special. It was 20 mins at most, and didn't even come close to Kei's graduation special.
