Hello! Pro NEWS!

[mini*wheat]

UFA might release a join pb for maasa saki chinami trio

PLEASE DON'T BE GOSSIP! *points to sig*

[Koolmon93]

Well, according to the H!P Official Site. The Wonderful Hearts and Elder Club concerts start on the 24th and 25th respectively. I find this odd... What's the point of it being a 2008 concert.. in 2007?!

Also, the Ongaku Gatas tour has a name! 音楽ガッタス ファーストコンサートツアー2008春 ～魅ザル 祝ザル GOODSAL！～. It starts January 9, so maybe that's why the EC and WH concerts are so early.

I'm sorry, Koolmon93, but where exactly did you see this? I'm checking the schedules on the H!P Official site, and Wonderful Hearts starts on January 2nd, and Elder's Club starts January 5th. Now, I guess you are a little confused by the fact that the tickets will start selling on the 24th for WH and on the 25th for EC, but that's the ticket sales start dates, not the tour start dates. 

And the Ongaku Gatas concert, as far as I can see, starts February 24th (and so far it is the only date on the H!P site), with ticket sales starting January 19th, so again, where exactly did you get your info?

  Check this out!

It seems that Goto Maki is not only out of H!P, but the entire showbiz.

  Check this out!

It seems that Goto Maki is not only out of H!P, but the entire showbiz. 

As already discussed on the UMAI, until there is an OFFICIAL announcement, it is rumors. Even hello-online (your link) says so, when they say According to a japanese community, Goto Maki not only quited Hello! Project, but the entire showbiz.. Now you see, that part "According to a japanese community" is what makes this "news" tricky, because:
1 - It does not come from official sources (either Maki or UFA)
2 - H!O doesn't even say who or what this anonymous "japanese community" is. For all we know, it could be 2ch (and you know how reliable 2ch info is).

Want more proof that we most probably are in the presence of gossip? The H!O article also says

It was reported that Takahashi Ai cried aloud in front of the staff in Korea when she learned about Goto Maki's graduation and she immediately took a flight back to Japan in order to attend her final concert.

But the problem here is, Aichan, Gaki-san and Koharu all flew back from Korea TOGETHER on the 28th, after doing a final radio interview, and I know someone who was at the airport for their departure. Given that they were in Korea officially for the first time, and that they had a very busy schedule prepared weeks before, it would be irresponsible of Aichan to leave her two friends there to "immediately take a flight back" for the concert. Their scheduled flight arrived in Japan in time for them to attend the concert, so that part of the "report" is an exaggeration of the facts.

No wonder! I was like, HUH? Thanks for clearing that up!

I did not know where to put this, but here I go:

Lots of wotas are a little upset about this.
UFA is promoting a "Executive" Fan Club membership. Only 300 people will be able to enter this "Executive" membership. Cost is......63,000 yen (US $ 550) a year



Benefits are:
１．あなたの写真入りエグゼクティブパスを発行！(Executive pass photo card)
２．エグゼクティブ仕様パスケースをプレゼント
３．チケットを先々行受付のご案内 (priority line for tickets) (somebody correct me here)
４．コンサートの限定特別シートに無料ご招待 (free invitation for limited special seats at concerts)?? (somebody please correct me here)
５．エグゼクティブ限定のファンクラブお問い合わせダイヤルをご用意 (executive phone line for inquiries)
６．お気に入りのアーティストの生写真を毎月1枚 (1 monthly picture card of your favorite artist)
７．お気に入りのアーティストのコンサート、イベントなどでバックヤードにご招待 (invitation to meet your favorite artist backstage at concerts and events) (SPECIALLY CORRECT ME ON THIS)
８．誕生月にはお気に入りのアーティストの声 (voice message from your favorite artist on your birthday)

Wotas are upset because they say (and I agree with them) that only older people will be able to get into this thing (because of the price), thus UFA is giving preference to older guys over the fans that are under 25 years of age.

Do you have to be atleast 25 and Japanese?? $550 is a bargain in my eyes. I don't mind working 1 1/2 weeks just to receive a message on my birthday from Yossi or Sayu.

You just have to be japanese and pay the 63,000 yen. The age thing is what the wotas say. UFA doesn't care as long as you're a japanese resident and pay the full price

If I would be in Japan, I don't mind to pay this amount money just for supporting my fav. member, but I am little be afraid what will be the next...(Pay 150.000 JPY and You can f*ck her or what?)

[shurastriker]

^ WOA hold on haro, don´t upset too much but yeah i hate they only want more money but this one is too damm expensive...  if they give you special seats invitations that means OK good but you gonna pay the hell more right? so for a normal fan who barely can bought some PB and go to some concerts is like WTF why i´m not millonaire T__T

From what i read the real benefit is the bakstage pass (backstage but not full access right?) and the birthday message... dammit! cut the price by half and give me just a special picture for my birthday with the voice message, the monthly card and just one backstage pass ok!!! T__T too bad i can only dream

[Slack]

I don't see why people are all that upset at this, since UFA has been doing fanclub tours to various places for years now.  I'm pretty sure it costs a lot more to go on one of those tours too.  Are the wotas upset about those as well?  I haven't heard any complaints about those, but I'd imagine those are also only affordable by older/rich people.


*btw, I don't think ¥150,000 is nearly enough money for what you're thinking, haro.  Even if such a thing were for sale, it wouldn't be public, and you'd probably need a lot more 0s at the end.

As much as I would love to see this happen, I'm holding off my excitement until I actually see her on stage with the others.  Don't want to get emotionally burned in case they pull a "whoops, wrong pic" deal.

辻希美、数日中にも出産



  俳優の杉浦太陽（２６）が２１日、妻で元モーニング娘。の辻希美（２０）が臨月であることを明かし、「もうあと数日、いつ来てもおかしくないです」とパパになる心境を笑顔で話した。

　この日、主演映画「アカデミー」のＤＶＤ発売記念トークショーを東京・千代田区のデジタルハリウッド大学で行った杉浦。子供の話になると自然と顔がほころぶようで、「（辻は）音楽をよく聴いてるし、希美のライブＤＶＤとか見て自宅で踊ってる」とモー娘を胎教にしていることを告白。「名前？　もう決めてます。２人の名前が合わさった、いい名前って感じです」と笑顔を見せた。

　辻の予定日は１２月上旬で、現在は自宅待機中。杉浦は「スイカが入ってるみたい。夜も眠れないようで支えたりしてます。女性の大変さを初めて知りました」と妻を思いやりながら、「今度はパパ役がやりたい。共演できたら夢のようですね」と早くも親バカぶりを発揮していた。

[misugi]
