This has been sitting on my hard drive for a few years. I started it about 2 months after I really got into H!P. At first I just being silly, doing it for my own amusement. Then I started to think big. What if I could make a story out of it all? So I did, but I never posted it because it's pretty bad.
However, I was sitting here and cleaning up my computer (i.e. throwing out tons of junk that I'm never going to need,went, watch, or listen to again), when I came upon my folder for this story. I cleaned up some typos, tweaked a few sentences here and there, and decided instead of just erasing it all (like I almost did), I'd stick it here to see if my junk can become someone else's treasure.
A word of warning: this is not for the weak of heart. What I mean is that if you're expecting amazing skill (writing and otherwise), this is neither the story nor thread for you. I think it requires a particular sense of humour that I'm afraid not many have, as it's a very silly and stupid sense of humour. After all, I'm a strange kid, and if this amuses me, it's bound to make others go "wtf crack is she on? She thinks this is funny?"
If you DO find this funny, please marry me.
Also another warning. It's incomplete. I don't know (although I highly doubt) if I will ever finish it. This is one of those half baked ideas that will probably remain half baked.
MUWAHAHAH!
Hello! Project
in
Around the World in 81 DaysEverything in the world tour was going wonderfully and smoothly. There were very few spats between the girls. In fact, in the 24 days that had elapsed since the beginning of their 81-day tour of the world, only 2 members had a fight (Michishige and Takahashi refused to acknowledge each other's presence for 24 hours after a screaming match regarding cheese) and 1 member (Makoto) had a bit of a breakdown after a particularly difficult rehearsal one evening. This was a record low considering over a dozen girls working and living together while travelling inevitably results in frequent disputes.
However, on the 25th day, Nakazawa Yuuko, a graduated member of Morning Musume who was tagging along with the girls on their tour, took the first steps towards what would be the ultimate dissolution of the band Morning Musume and, subsequently, the entire Hello! Project.
After much research and speculation, Nakazawa's actions on that fateful 25th day are said to have been the spark in the barrel of gunpowder. Acting in the morning, Nakazawa had no idea that the following evening, the world as she knew it would crumble.
It all began on the early morning plane ride to Menorca. In a moment of evilness, Nakazawa attempted to asphyxiate Yaguchi Mari. Yasuda Kei was quick to intervene and she brushed Nakazawa's hand away from Yaguchi's face where it had been blocking off crucial air passages. They all laughed it off as an endearing gesture, as Nakazawa and Yaguchi were close friends.
This was their first mistake as a group.
Before landing, they changed into colourful costumes in order to attract as much attention as possible at the airport. When they stepped off the plane, a hoard of Spanish media came to snap pictures. In another moment of evilness, Nakazawa attempted to bite Yaguchi's ear off. A picture was snapped just seconds before Kago (flanking Yaguchi) pushed Nakazawa away before she did any permanent damage. Again, they laughed it off as Nakazawa playfully teasing her good friend Yaguchi.
Two hours later, after settling in to their hotel rooms and changing into their bathing suits, the girls went for a dip in the Mediterranean sea. Not 2 minutes after entering the water, Nakazawa attacked Yaguchi and attempted to drown her. At first Nacchi, who was closest to the pair, thought it was a joke, but after hearing Yaguchi's gargles for help, she quickly pulled Nakazawa away. This time there was no laughing. As a group, they decided that Nakazawa should be given a restraining order. She would not be allowed to be within ten metres of Yaguchi.
Surprisingly, Nakazawa accepted this deal.
These three attacks all happened within 5 hours of each other. The restraining order was issued at 12:30pm, Menorca time. However, other than this, nothing further was done to prevent Nakazawa from harming anyone else...
Later that afternoon, at about 3:00pm, the girls were getting ready for a special pre-concert photoshoot when Nakazawa grabbed Tsuji and attempted to asphyxiate her. Nobody was around to help Tsuji, who had to fight Nakazawa off by herself, using her hidden strength. Tsuji managed to run away and hide in a janitor's closet where she was found an hour later by Yossi and Ishikawa (it is unknown why Yossi and Ishikawa were going into a janitor's closet). They coaxed the story out of Tsuji. Yossi, enfuriated, stalked off to go and confront Nakazawa about her unfair treatment of Tsuji. Meanwhile, Ishikawa took Tsuji to the cafeteria and bought her comfort food. It turns out Yossi was unable to find Nakazawa before the photoshoot, and she had cooled down sufficiently by the time of the shoot that she didn't do anything violent.
After the photoshoot and just before the concert, Tsuji was backstage with Mika (practicing their Mini Moni songs) when Nakazawa came out of nowhere and attacked Tsuji with a mallet. Tsuji escape relatively unharmed, more frightened than injured.
Picking on such a tiny girl made Nakazawa feel invincible and she decided to broaden her horizon of victims. However, before she could proceed any further, she was called in by Tsunku and given a stern warning not to continue down this path. Frightened by Tsunku (because who wouldn't be?), Nakazawa obeyed and stopped bullying her fellow H!P members.
It seemed like everything was solved. Nakazawa was no longer torturing those younger than her. Nobody had been seriously injured. Everyone was having fun in Menorca.
However.
Feeling threatened, Tsuji began to lose trust in her fellow band members. She became tense and quiet around the girls, no longer joking around like she usually did. Not even Kago could get through this newly-forming shell.
Yaguchi, on the other hand, being used to Nakazawa's harassment, did not experience such negative consequences. She did feel a loss of self-confidence, so after getting advice from Yasuda Kei, she channelled her energies into making herself stronger as a person.
But the problem was Tsuji. She wasn't used to Nakazawa's harassment. She wasn't as strongly willed as Yaguchi. She was young, inexperienced, and unsure of herself.
After leaving Menorca, several incidents occurred, which eventually set Tsuji off.
And this is what led to the ultimate tragedy.
The tragedy of the Hello! Project girls.
What follows is a series of exclusive photographs taken by a blooming, brave amateur photographer who wishes to remain anonymous. Please note that in their 81 day tour of the world, the girls were not together the entire time, often separating into pairs or groups in order to see as many places as possible.The first 24 days of their journey were tremendous fun for all the girls. They partook in many activities.
However, the 25th day, as mentioned above, spelled out the beginning of disaster.
Ishikawa was rushed to the hospital, but no amount of surgery and blood tranfusions could save her. She passed away while fighting for her life at 2:00am the following morning. Her death shocked the international community.
And so it went.
And that's all for now, folks.
