Yaguchi gets Friday'd and has left MM (latest on Page 1)

[daigong]

WHy are you laughing!!  :hammer:

believe me, its tearing me up inside. i had to put a positive somewhere. i just had to mock the doomsdaysayers.

I mean. This is our fuckin reality, that The Love Machine Curse had to end on this note:



and this is all we have left of The Golden Era:




Now if that don't make you pissed or sad... man. if the quality of the 5th and 6th gen were up to par, I wouldn't be so pissed off. Now Yossi is all alone and they can't go back on ungraduating Rika. The hype is all set up.

That's one messed up coincidence.   At least I HOPE it's a coincidence.

At least we'll still be able to see her on Yaguchi Hitori.

Can someone post up the rika parts of the book, and were deviruchi did you buy that book, i couldnt find it!  Oh well, im gonna translate the rika questions now.  But....um way to go skipping all my classes and not doing any of my essays and doing this instead hah.

[daigong]

im glad its gonna keep going. i was worried what will happen to it. its running well.

i really thought the love machine curse wasnt true. damn.. this just proves it is, as the last one wont have a graduation, ending the curse. boooo

i just found out the h!p village in hawaii is closing.. i was hoping to go there at least once.
this day cant get any better.


thanks for all the news clips and such.

DAMN this is BIG news! ive never seen this stuff on mainichi, even harmogeddon failed to make it!   I guess this is a real big scandle, even for the rest of the world (vs the giant scandles which only mo-wota and fans care about)  To be honest i think i was still more shocked with the harmogeddon incident, i think it was like 200 pages on the first day on jpm.

[daigong]

AND she's been taken off the official website!



though still a link to her profile exists!

At least Yaguchi Hitori continues, that's a relief.

I don't get the Love machine prophecy fuss... It was obvious that the prochecy is true after Kaori's graduation, because there's Mari alone left, or did someone think that she was never going to graduate?

Thank you from the clips, mezamashi has a nice background music

[daigong]

and BOOOOOOM...here's today's newspaper clippings:




at least the media still cares about H!P.  :evil:

[Redturtle]

I almost cried when I saw the golden era pics. How I wish Rika could stay for just a few months longer. No doubt Rika would be a better leader than Yossi. Rika could still graduate, but at least give some time for Yossi to prepare for it... Rika and Yaguchi. Why the only members that can lead properly must go, why not the 5th gen instead?  :evil:

Yossi is not the type of girl who would voice out her inner feelings. Heck, she wouldn't cry even if she wanted to. I'm most worried about this. I can only hope Yaguchi at least talked to her about it before deciding. Now I remember Yossi said Yaguchi's the one who'd most likely retire suddenly due to marriage. I wonder if she already sensed something back then... (like, late 2003?)

So the concert on saturday is their first appearance after this incident? It's something we should pay attention to then.

[kraygk]

Harmogeddon incident?

Its when in 2002 tsunku announced the graduation of maki, kei from mm, and the graduation of mari from mini moni and the complete restrcuturing of all the sub-groups stemming from morning musume.  It was big news, i think it was at least a hundred pages 24 hours after first posted in JPM, but that was back before mm-bbs and JPM had split and membership was pretty high i think, and hell lets face it mm was just way more popular back then.

[Redturtle]

Ahh, the 731 incident.

Heh, that's a link to Iida's profile even tho it has a Mari picture, Mari's is http://www.helloproject.com/artist/01/02/index.html so expect it to be for some more time.

You're seriously the best Yossi fan ever.
(and the only good one )

"booo" to you  

[tamatron]

Don't expect much from me. I got bored of this already. (Damn...I got bored way too easily.)

I must confess, even though I was really sad about the incident, I am now a bit pissed off at the decision. I don't know who made it and I'll most likely never know, but that doesn't matter. I still don't understand...this dicision was made in whose best interest? They're promoting the new single, some shows have already been taped but now I keep hearing that they're gonna cut the part where Yaguchi gave the bouquets to Rika off of Utaban and Music Fighter. And there are probably some shows thar haven't been taped yet. They're also still on tour and now they have to reassign the lines and rearrange the positions in the choreography. And this pretty much screwed up the PR for the grad concert, too. And what about Yossie? She suddenly becomes a leader. Is she ready? Can she deal with it? And what about the other girls? How bad they must be feeling now that they're losing 2 members that they rely on to? I fucking hate this.

So the concert on saturday is their first appearance after this incident? It's something we should pay attention to then.

Yup. I heard they're gonna use yelow penlights for that day. Well, some said that but I don't know if it's a big plan or not.

To cheer for a member who's not on stage anymore? :evil:

Yeah, I guess.  There might even be a Yaguchi Call in the encore.

That would be great! She deserves something like that, even though there's no real graduation.

she deserves so much more than that

what I find hardest to accept about all this is the suddeness of it all. It's like: strike 1 2 3 YOU'RE OUT!!!!
I realize that the fact that she's got a boyfriend was made public could have negative effect on MM, but it's not like she can change that now. Why not stay on for a few weeks more and do a double grad concert along with Rika?
As as big Mari fan I would find it much easier to accept.
Then she and the others would at least get to say their goodbyes, and she could continue on with H!P and on H!M. But because of the suddeness of it all, it feels like Tsunku just told her to get out of the house and never come back, and then burning all the stuff she leaves behind (removing her from already-taped shows).

I feel that I have something more to say, but I just can't find the right words at the moment, just writing these words has brought tears to my eyes  

[bot]

what is Yaguchi feeling sorry/ remorseful for? (assuming she is, that is)
what was her act of "betrayal"?

having a boyfriend? I doubt it. If she felt honestly guilty she could have 'abdicated' a long time ago.

being found out? perhaps... hardly a great reason though.

her desire to 'get on with her adult life'? perhaps.... which may mean she apologizes for the 'calculated irresponsiblity' she shows in leaving Morning Musume.  

something else?

this is actually quite melodramatic, or at least very emotional....
