Well, this is out of the blue.

Yeah totally didn't see this coming. But then, I suppose I should have, if Tsunku insists on marketing Koharu as the next Miracle after the sensation Maki was...

Good luck to her on her modelling future!

You can't make me believe this...

You just..can't.

Excuse me, going to go cry in the corner now.

Welcome to Hello Project fandom, comrades. Where the next "graduation" is almost always the one you LEAST expected...

Makes no sense but as shishi said, there's a backstory to this. One day, we'll find out what it was.

!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL!!

What a horrible way to start the weekend!

edit: maybe they're doing it to boost the sales for her latest single in MM

When I first heard about this I was thinking BULLSHIT. But it's fucking true & I don't like it but I'll accept it.

Even though I didn't exactly like her singing voice all that much she won me over with her bubbly personality (& the fact that she got hotter as she got older); which made her one of my favorites in MM & all of H!P. I actually ended up liking her singing eventually later on in her career.

Still, what the fuck?

But good luck to her with the whole modeling thing, I think she'll do well. All I ask of her is to throw some us a bone & do gravure please.

But until then I'm going to join all the other people in the corner & cry.

im surprised its koha.

not to be mean but logically they're been at nine members since aika join at the very start of 2007. try adding another/more members into some of the dances. it wouldnt work to well.

the average time spent in morning musume before the current members (minus yoshizawa and lida) wasnt overly long. koha has been in the group 4 years. i mean really it could of been anyone minus maybe aika. 5th gen been there for 8 years now. 6th gen too have been there for awhile, any of them could go on to solo careers in something, koha had a decent solo career already. junjun and linlin could go back home maybe join icecreamusume or make a new group.

considering shes leaving H!P completely i would say its her own choice. i mean shes one of the key players in H!P it would seem. also with her voice acting, doesnt she bring in some younger fans? why leave H!P completely unless she honestly wants to be a model.

although her and erika were both in zyx-a and have both decided to go into modeling. zyx was oridginally a 6 member group, while zyx-a was made as an 8 member group, but considering two have left i find that slightly suspicious.

At least Erika's expressed she wanted to do modeling BEFORE. Koharu.. she never really even mentioned stuff like that. Ever.

One word: PENIS.

Lol SERIOUSLY that's the only plausible reason I can think of.
If she's leaving UFA, she's erasing all the seniority pay she's got while working there, which is a bad move financially. If/when she joins another company, she'll have to start from scratch again.

She might have been unhappy with her cute image, because she's expressed that she likes the mature image more. But now that Kirari stuff is over, wouldn't that bring her the much needed change?

I still think it's weird to graduate H!P for "modelling". Why couldn't she do modelling while still in H!P? It's a fishy reason imo.

So I still say that the reason is PENIS!

Is it possible that she would leave H!P but still be retained by UFA or one of their other groups like some of the elder club members? I mean she could still do the modeling thing but maybe show up every once in while when UFA needs a cash cow or a more popular person to boost sales or something.

Just throwing the idea out there.

what. the. hell ? she's garduating now ? i dont really know what to say.. ( shocked)

jaysonnj · « **Reply #14 on:** September 19, 2009, 11:29:17 AM »

Not who I expected to graduate first! Kinda sad, but I hope this means new members are just around the corner.

Bring on the 9th generation!

Sukoshi · « **Reply #15 on:** September 19, 2009, 11:35:41 AM »

This is so unexpected and so sudden! I was really starting to warm up to the kid too! Such a shame. and it doesn't look like she's going to have a proper grad concert with the big arena!

kuro808 · « **Reply #16 on:** September 19, 2009, 11:36:04 AM »

I am more shocked than anything else, this is really out of the blue and really curse of the one-member generations (I am just putting it out because of Goto Maki leaving at age seventeen to go solo) Is this a foreshadowing of the future 9th gen that many have talked about?

lollipopgirl · « **Reply #17 on:** September 19, 2009, 11:40:34 AM »

Woooooooooooooooow.... saw everyone posting in this thread and thought it was false info and everyone was laughing at it... here I am going WTF?!?!?!?!
Koha grew on me sooo much, I hated her to start with but once that changed I saw just how much of a huge part of MM her personality was. I know this is usually said, but seriously, no one could fill the void that she'll be leaving... I may looove Sayu but if she were to grad that void could be filled, but Koha will be hard... I guess LinLin needs to step up that craziness even more.

This is gonna suck, especially seeing its one of the babies graduating, doesn't seem far

WTF is with all the grads, and they aren't just leaving their groups, leaving the whole H!P is scary!

BET YOU'RE REGRETTING GRADUATING THE ELDERS NOW WHEN YOU'LL HAVE NO ONE LEFT SOON!!!

no!!! it can't be .. not koharu ...

*shocked*

SomethingWild · « **Reply #19 on:** September 19, 2009, 11:51:11 AM »

When I was new to MM/H!P, so was Koharu. She's the first member I followed from the start.. and I liked her from the very beginning. When she leaves MM better come up with some beyond awesome 9th gen members.
