Some other random stuff:
* Of Berryz, anyone know if Momo finished her teacher studies yet? And have any of the others done university studies?
As far as I am informed and people here also hinted Momochi seems to be done with studies - she wrote her thesis and even appeared in a university magazine as a graduate or something if I remember correctly (not the typical graduation pic thing from highschool etc but it was an article about something... the department maybe I didn't read it). She also didn't mention any further studies in other directions.
Actually I just looked it up now,
the blog entry mentioning writing her graduation thesis
http://ameblo.jp/tsugunaga-momoko-blog/entry-11727003808.htmlthe blog entry mentioning she's done (a working adult)
http://ameblo.jp/tsugunaga-momoko-blog/entry-11810693904.htmlAbout the other members I don't know. There was one member I have in mind who also goes to university now but it's possible that it's a member from C-ute even...
In regards to
C-ute's future, I've always disliked this wake up call effect that comes along with graduations/disbanding/official hiatus.
They might now think "huh, even Berryz stops, what should we do in the future?" - but since they are a smaller group that sorted few members out already they might have a few more years if the agency doesn't put any pressure on them. Though fewer members also makes it easier to decide on a hiatus someday~
I don't know about
Berryz members future.
Like shirenu said, solo plans never really worked.
Only Reina with Lovendor is a recent exception that although not really solo they might be able to continue with music if up-front finds/invents something for them that works.
Since nobody mentioned H!P graduation yet it's in theory possible that Momochi and Miyabi could continue for a few more years with
Buono! together with Airi. Momochi and Miyabi both also seem professional enough to continue even if they actually want to do something else just to have a relatively safe job for a little longer.
And Momochi also likes Buono!, she likes rock, guitars.
For me that would be the best possible thing to happen and I think also the best possible thing for Momochi and Miyabi if they want to continue being idols because Buono! is already somewhat established and Airi won't leave the stage anytime soon either.
However Airi herself mentioned on her blog that she wants to perform as Buono! once more (guess it will happen during the berikyuu Budokan and maybe one additional time if Berryz ends their activity with a big bang at the Saitama Super Arena or something with c-ute as guests), making it sound like she knows Buono! will be gone after Berryz hiatus. But maybe she doesn't and it was more like "at least once more, in case...".
The Buono! radio show didn't stop... yet.
For Momochi I have my own theory.
I think it might be possible that she actually wants to go on hiatus. It's contrary to what everyone believes and to all her efforts to establish herself as idol known as Momochi.
But I think of Momoko as a person who would exactly do that to archive an even more important goal (for herself).
They all said they started discussing the hiatus one year ago, around the time Momoko had to work on her graduation thesis.
She clearly wants to work with children.
Puripuri princess radio show has stopped and instead
she joined Oha Star, introducing a teaching segment for children.
She didn't do any PB/DVD except for Hawaii-related things in a long time (long in idol years) - certainly not due to lack of fans interest. To me it seems that for some reason she didn't want to anymore. Maybe because it doesn't look good having a lot of bikini photos on the internet when you want to teach children.
More than anything I hope I'm wrong.
If you have good arguments to prove me wrong in my assumptions regarding Momochi, please do so.
For the rest of the members, I hope they have enough savings
Not sure what Chinami could do.
And Maasa? Acting maybe but will she get the jobs without being active in Berryz?
Yurina could maybe model, true.
Risako, mystery indeed. Is "wanting to be a diva" a job?
Captain could certainly do something else with dancing since she seems to like it. I didn't think of her as a trainer/instructor before but possible, but she could also do musical stuff maybe not as lead (singing?) but yeah.
Miyabi could become a fashion designer or also model (like Koharu?) or both, but she could also continue singing as mentioned above.
