Frak. Any indication of when the last ep will be?

I've heard it's 9/28. So we have a good month or so before it's over. I really hope they're replacing it because I rely on my weekly fix!

I guess I'll be the one to make the post.

After low ratings and failed format change, hello
morning has been cancelled.

With five shows left to go, perhaps they will go all out and
do a special show, but given the ratings and the schedule for
editing the shows it seems unlikely.

I currently have all shows (onegai, etc) from 2000-current.

When the show goes off the air I plan on putting up a torrent
of all the shows. You can help me by getting the few I am missing.

Hello! Morning 2003-01-19 (0143).mpg *need

So far the torrent size is appx 500GB, so free up some space!

Though due to the ratings, I shouldn't probably be that surprise, but I am terribly sadden by the cancellation.

My birthday was yesterday, and I hope this is a blessing in disguise. I hope they have a better show planned or something that can showcase them weekly and better.

And that this is not a bad signs of things to come...
I wouldn't want to spend my 21st B-day with bad news unless it's turn to something good later on (i.e. a better new show).

^Same here..it was my 17th birthday yesterday. and if there is nothing to come I'll be really sad!

Yeah I can't say I'm too surprised either...maybe a month or two ago I could have been upset, but I don't even feel that tbh. I stopped watching it myself a few months ago because in all fairness I just wasn't enjoying it, still it is still a shame to see it go for those who did watch and enjoy it, as well as H!P as a whole.

I saw about 8 or 10 something episodes. So I can't say that I'm too upset... though I think I will be a bit upset if Momusume won't get more screen time... And then again - I'm looking forward for something new and it doesn't matter who's in there(though personally I'd enjoy C-ute\Berryz Koubou 30-50 minutes long program a lot more than Morning Musume one...). So let's what would they roll out when HM@ will end.

I used to keep every single clip and appearance since asayan. It was up to something like 9TB.
I recently realized I have some kind of hoarding complex, so I've been thinning it out and deleting
useless stuff like 6 year old news announcements, worthless product plugs and worse..

I now have two folders. "Hot" and "Nice". Does one need EVERY single drama appearance
by a musume member? lol.

ASSEMblerEX · « **Reply #10 on:** August 22, 2008, 12:20:29 AM »

I just realized that all those hard working people in the studio, all the people
they keep fed and clothed are going to unemployed in a bad employment
atmosphere.

Lots of ex-musume and such are on staff as writers or consultants.
They love to help everyone stay with work. People like Yuko and
Kei-chan...

This is going to be bad and I wish them luck. Maybe they can move everyone
over to the Berryz show...

Funny how berry did intros to HM and now MM will do intros to Berryz
shows now... not to mention probably being on oha star every other day...

Unfortunate but inevitable.

Is there a Japanese news link somewhere online?

Saikami · « **Reply #12 on:** August 22, 2008, 02:51:54 AM »

Aww, that is sad.

But it's not shocking, the show was really going down hill and getting desprate with things to do. I am a bit upset, but I'll admit, I haven't followed HM@ nearly as much as I did in the past, so I'm not TOO upset, but I'll still miss it. T_T;

BigDnm01 · « **Reply #13 on:** August 22, 2008, 04:57:39 AM »

tbh, I don't watch HM@ that much, also, only some parts worth mentioning.
But what I'm worried about is what this may probably spells out for MoMusu... what it may leads to... u know... I don't even want to think it.

Although, even if MoMusu's popularity is declining, I personally wouldn't think that they'll be "disband" *knock on wood* so soon.

They're still popular and even have lots of great opportunities. most of the girls still have radio and tv gigs to fall back on, so they'll have exposure in the media weekly. (Too bad for JunJun and LinLin, though...)

so I sincerely hope that I'm just overthinking things and worry over unnecessary things.
GO! IKE! MORNING MUSUME!

daigong · « **Reply #14 on:** August 22, 2008, 05:27:58 AM »

GREAT!! Way to step it up NEW morning musume. The writing was on the wall when it went from 30 minutes to like a 5 minute Youtube discussion show. FUCK!!!

It was in the original HELLO MORNING YAY thread, as Ayabie posted the BLT article. So I split and merged that shit!!

shadowstar · « **Reply #15 on:** August 22, 2008, 06:19:11 AM »

Even though nothing has been said yet, these girls need a regular show of some sort, damn it..

They wouldn't have had such craptastic ratings if only the staff or whatever, actually sat down and churned out good ideas with effort and the goal to keep the show going in mind.

Kyats · « **Reply #16 on:** August 22, 2008, 08:06:37 PM »

I can imagine them having another show, just not in HM@ format. Maybe something new and exciting that will battle their rivals.

~Dan~ · « **Reply #17 on:** August 22, 2008, 11:05:27 PM »

I've been watching the show faithfully since October 2002 so it's a shame to see it end. The shows producers only have themselves to blame for the current ratings though. If they hadn't made such a lousy show then maybe ratings would have been better. Do we know yet if anything is going to replace it?

Saburo · « **Reply #19 on:** August 23, 2008, 12:07:05 AM »

Why don't they just do the online thang? Maybe a podcast/m4v download thingie.

To quote Mr. Spock: there are always possibilities.
