Its the give and take with these mentally ill wotas. Girls have to give them fanservice (asked by those savvy producers to do so), so that they can keep old hardcore wotas happy, maybe convert new ones. And boy do they give in terms of sales, e.g buying 20 copies of the new single (or at least getting all the version covers). And then sometimes, these hardcore guys take careers away from the girls. And so is the circle of life (hey im no lion king fan here, but its true)

Sad to see her go but hopefully this will be a enough to teach the other girls (and there's probably a few) who still don't quite "get" what's required of an idol, and they'll remember this when they get silly ideas about finding happiness with some dude. Seriously though, walking arm in arm with some guy (or smoking) in a public place is pretty dumb if you're an idol and they should really know better. I mean, stalker fans and paparazzi are things that they should expect and be prepared for. Maybe the more savvy girls like Fujimoto & Ishikawa aren't giving them as much advice about how to do this stuff and not get caught.

With Yaguchi's incident, I was hoping that the other girls would have learned from her mistake as well. But sometimes, the urge to just want to be able to walk down the street with someone and not 'feel like a celebrity' is overwhelming. So, I understand Megumi, but at the same time wish she had done this (hanging out or something) behind closed doors or used a very good 'disguise'...or something.

Besides the very constricting idol rules, you could say the life of a celebrity in Japan, more specifically in H!P, is considerably harder than that of celebrities in the West. I'll take one US celebrity for example, JoJo. The paparazzi can catch her kissing a mystery guy on the street for example, and she could continue on selling albums, acting, whatever the very next day. But an H!P idol can't just act like it didn't happen, there are serious consequences, such as having to quit the business all together because of something as innocent as holding hands with a member of the opposite sex.

*sigh*...my fave from zyx and cute is gone now...i guess all i have left from the baby group is airi...

no offense to others, but i'm actually not bothered by this news. She was my least fave kid, because of her freaky glare. Well, now she's gone, there is more room for others in c-ute to stand in the spotlight! (go kanna & erika! )

kurotsuki · « **Reply #65 on:** November 03, 2006, 04:58:01 PM »

NO!!! This sucks. C-ute is my favorite H!P kids group and now my second favorite members is leaving.

I really like her because to me she really stood out from the other girls. She really impressed me with her talent and now she's gone.
But one thing that makes to wonder is who's gonna sing her parts now? She has a lead in all of c-ute's songs. I wonder if there will be a big difference when c-ute performs without her.

Yeah, I also thought about this. Just think about Soku Dakishimete ... that's like Megu's song ... it's gonna be really strange seeing the lyrics divded between the other girls.

awww man.... and I was just begining to notice more of c-ute and berryz.... she seemed to stand out cuz of her leads in their songs so i kinda noticed her... but so long as c-ute's chisako izzit? and berryz risako doesn't quit i'm fine i guess
but really Japan is just tooo strict... look at taiwan's artists.. they get so called 'paparazzi-ed' but still manages to denied their way through and survives.. while japan artists just gets cut from the biz with a lame excuse

I really liked her...it's a pity that she decided to go!
But I support her!
Bye bye Meguru, we'll miss you

sad.. i was starting to kinda take notice of her too..

hmm..... the pic was just of her walking with a guy, and she ended up quitting. i wonder what would happen if something more serious was caught on camera..

I expected them to do that even earlier. =/ Anyway, here's the MC about Megumi at today's event.

C-ute @ Shinagawa (20061103)

Nothing special, really.

I'm awaiting to hear who gets her parts... It'd be a BIG upgrade to whoever it is~ I'm thinking Chisato/Erika still...

I'm still depressed about her leaving, though

Kyobu · « **Reply #73 on:** November 03, 2006, 09:49:13 PM »

I'm hoping for Chisato. I wouldn't mind Erika getting some more lines, but she has a few already.

Yeah! Split between the two of them? I have a feeling that I'm wrong, and Airi/Maimi will get some of the split...

Kyobu · « **Reply #75 on:** November 03, 2006, 10:06:58 PM »

I thing Megumi is great, but one thing I really detested about her was her voice. Honestly, it doesn't matter who taker her lines, even if it's Mai, I'll be happy.

Still sucks she's gone though.

nebok0 · « **Reply #76 on:** November 18, 2006, 09:00:28 AM »

I guess I'm a little late in posting this but:

I think Megumi didn't have a great voice, but it had a lot of character. I think her voice made c-ute's songs more interesting in general. And I loved the song she, Miyabi, and Reina did (Suki ni Naccha Ikenai Hito).

Like a lot of people said, I think the photos were the last straw. I bet UFA told her she had to break up with her boyfriend and she refused. It seems like she HAD been thinking about quitting, but the break-off was still very sudden. Ah, young love......

Anyways, she did have a lot of potential and even though she's not one of my favorites I think she's a big loss to HP.

Koolmon93 · « **Reply #77 on:** November 18, 2006, 09:21:29 AM »

Airi, Megu, and Reina did Suki ni. I agree though. Never liked her voice, but she had a great personality!

nebok0 · « **Reply #78 on:** November 21, 2006, 10:09:04 PM »

Oops, I meant to say Airi

I love that song. I wish there was a karaoke version.

At Berryz event today, some guy was mistaken to be the Meguru stalker and got beat up. :p

Wotas are gangsta!
