My wisdom teeth were taken out yesterday and normally I wouldn't post injured, but when I heard this I just had to report it.
Arihara Kanna has left H!P and C-ute to live a normal life, according to H!P's website. As you know, Kanna was on leave because of a bunion on her foot. But that was months ago and bunions only take weeks to heal. There are many rumors as to why she took so long and why she is leaving. Some people say that Kanna has a boyfriend (Which we discussed here) Others say that there are photos out there putting UFA in a bad position. My guess is that she enjoyed non-idol life so much, that she just decided to stay a non-idol. But whatever happened, Kanna, the little egg that could, is gone and there's nothing we can do.
Bye Kanna. You were one of the cool ones.
Happy Cake Day to all of my friends from IW. If I'm late, then I'm so sorry.
Since I can't upload my cake picture (Maybe some technical problem), I'll use this one from a previous article (Just ignore all the Kanna pictures)
Two years of International Wota...it feels like just yesterday we were celebrating the first Cake Day (The Tatami Mat wasn't up then. I was just a lurker) But when I started up this blog, I knew recommending it to IW was a good idea. It was a good idea to link up with other bloggers who also like to blog about J-pop music. Well I dont think you want to hear me ramble so I'll end by saying "Happy Birthday IW! Here's to another great year!" Time for picspam.
Santa Ume wants to wish IW a happy birthday!
Kanna (in exile) wishes IW a happy birthday!
Peipei wishes IW a happy birthday too!

Say it isn't so! C-ute's losing a member! Weeeelllll, actually it's not that bad.
Read about it here.

For those of you who don't read Japanese, Kanna's not going to be with the group for a while due to a case of hallux valgus aka a bunion on her foot. Just so you know, having a bunion makes it incredibly hard to dance (If she tried to dance with that on her foot, she would probably have a heart attack)
So anyway she won't be joining the promotion of C-ute's new single or the upcoming tour (Lucky her. It's like she gets a Spring Break. Now she'll have time to look at her Airi PBs) Get well soon, Arihara!
I was preparing to do a post on Risako but that has to wait. Kanna's in a "scandal".
Apparently Kanna was seen with Johnny's Jr member Hashimoto Ryosuke somewhere in Yokohama. They were seen going to see the movie Hana Yori Dango: Final (Which is pretty popular in Japan by the way). After the movie they went their separate ways (Probably to work). Even though they weren't kissing and showing any true signs of affection, Bubka (The magazine this was published in) thinks they are dating. UFA or Johnny's has not commented as of yet. You have to consider the fact that they never kissed or had a long hug. They looked like they were just hanging out, you know, like friends do. Now UFA can react to this in the following ways:
1. By telling Kanna to GTFO and saying that she left because of "studies"
2. Suspending Kanna's career for a six month to a year period
3. Look the other way and ignore it
I would actually posted this earlier but I was too busy watching everyone's reactions. So far, everyone's reacting pretty nicely. That's good guys because that's mean the fans I hang with aren't insane. Also it was because of this "scandal" that I found this.
This is the kind of stuff that makes me proud to be a fan. So the Risako post I had planned should be here soon.
I was looking at the archives over at True Life Seek, I saw a rankings post from a few months ago when Hello! Blog asked everyone posted their favorite and least favorite members of the three main groups (That was before I had my own blog but still read a lot of them.) I decided to do one too (even at the risk of being a few months late.) Let's start with Morning Musume.
1. Junjun - The newest one in MM but my favorite member. She never ceases to amaze me. Everytime I watch Haromoni@, she always does something to stick out. Even in the episodes where she didn't show up that much, she still gained my attention. And plus, for her first few months of being in MM, she looked like a 13 yr old and that alone makes me smile.
2. Tanaka Reina - She's all kinds of awesome. She gets tons of singing lines. She's as skinny as a stick but she doesn't seem to notice. Also, she has a pose for every occaison.
3. Linlin - Jun is MM's Mario. Lin is MM's Luigi. Wherever you see one, you see the other. (I actually considered saying Lin was like Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog but Tails is kinda annoying) When Gaki retires, Lin will be the new reaction queen, I bet.
4. Kamei Eri - I used to think that she was mean because she kinda looked mean but she proved me wrong. She looks like the nicest person ever.
5. Michishige Sayumi - Sayu is a cyborg created by UFA to outcute everyone in Japan. Well...not really. But she is too cute to be human.
6. Takahashi Ai - I can't say anything bad about Aichan except lately she can't stop touching her face in PVs. Also, we need more Fukui-ben.
7. Niigaki Risa - Gaki-san's face hasn't changed since she joined H!P. I'm serious. She looks just like she did in '01. Really.
8. Kusumi Koharu - I don't that anime she voices (Except that episode where C-ute popped up.) Her PBs are ok. I just wish she wouldn't hog so much attention in PVs, though.
9. Mitsui Aika - She made Jun cry, boo. But she's cute and has a good memory, yay.
Now for Berryz Koubou
1. Tsugunaga Momoko - Momo's cute. Momo gains attention. Momo's has a high voice.
2. Shimizu Saki - Captain's cool. Captain's sorta cute at times. Captain's plain looking. Captain get's almost no lines but is sorta loveable. Her semi-deep voice is refreshing.
3. Kumai Yurina - Yuri's tall. Yuri knows how to use the camera to her advantage. I like her voice too.
4. Tokunaga Chinami - She only recently became my #4. She's energetic. Also her English is pretty good (Look that video up to see what I mean.)
5. Natsuyaki Miyabi - She has a nice voice too. She's also very pretty (I, unlike others, think that her long chin makes her prettier.). My #2 in Buono.
6. Sudo Maasa - I have only one thing to say: Her cheeks are awesome (especially when she smiles)
7. Sugaya Risako - My former #3. I don't hate her like Yoshimi from Yossha yossha yossha does. But then again I don't have a crush on her either. She's pretty and cute. But I will never admit to buying her PBs (I might be arrested...)
Now for C-ute
1. Umeda Erika - She's amazingly cute. She ultra-pretty. She's has a cute smile. She's also the person I want to see in a PB most. Not only my favorite in C-ute but H!P overall (even if she barely gets lines not counting that solo song) Everytime someone says that she looks like a ugly duckling, it makes me love her more.
2. Yajima Maimi - I used to dislike Maimi...a lot. I have no idea why but I hated her for some reason. But I like her now. I just noticed, my top 2 are former ZYX members (I love/miss that group so much.Why didn't you release more singles?!?) She looks hot in a bikini (But then again, don't most idols?)
3. Nakajima Saki - It's true. Nakki gets prettier every year. She's changed a lot from '06 hasn't she. After Ume, I want her in a PB next. When she was in Athena, she won me over in Shouri no Big Wave's PV.
4. Okai Chisato - Chisa's a boy. Well, she's actually the most boyish looking girl I've ever seen. Her voice is pretty nice too. She's one of C-ute's reaction queens. Also, her sister's my favorite Egg.
5. Arihara Kanna - Kanna's awesome. She always finds time to grope her fellow C-ute members and that's what makes me love her. Plus she has a nice voice too. Also, she's a only child like me and I respect her for that.
6. Hagiwara Mai - Maimai's cute, period. I bet she'll be a serial killer when she gets older. But she'll be the most loveable serial killer ever. Plus she's tall for her age. That's kinda cool.
7. Suzuki Airi - Just because she's at the bottom doesn't mean I don't like her. Her singing voice is epic. Her speaking voice is kinda awkward IMO. But I would gladly buy her PBs. I already have one of them.
