  "Melon Kinenbi isn't breaking up!" [Updated]  
  Written by B.Slade & Kuno, updated: 18:00, 22-Oct 2008  
     
  Confirmation comes from Saito Hitomi & Ohtani Masae on Melon Kinenbi's official blog.

The remaining Melons, Shibata & Murata have weighed in, and we have their comments translated now. Perhaps most significant is Murata stating what many have assumed: they'll remain with Up-Front. Also, we have a little more from Ohtani.
 
     
  Full Story  
     
 

-- Today's happening --

[...]

Okay, today was a busy day, but the main event was meeting up with Ayaka for the first time in ages (´∀`)/

She phoned me on Monday, but I was on the train and couldn't get off, so I accidentally hit the "ignore call" button. But once I'd gathered myself and figured out what I was doing (do I really need to explain all this?), Ayaka invited me out, saying, "We should have lunch together < 3"!

That made me so happy (*´∀`*)

We talked about a lot of stuff. She was just as surprised about the Hello Project graduations. I explained what was going on to her in detail.

Oh! I forgot to pass on a message to her from Hitomin (lol). Sorry, Hitomi.

Wow, Ayaka is still looking totally cute < 3 She gave me some great extract.

Murata Town Meeting ~ Getting a new pillow, getting a little drunk ~

Lately, old friends have been worrying and asking Muntama Line 1, "What are you going to do now?" or, "Will Melon be all right after graduating?"

Hearing from kids I haven't seen in years, it makes their unchanging friendship burn in my heart. And I'm sorry for causing our fans and friends to worry needlessly. We will still be a part of Up-Front, and Melon Kinenbi's members will continue to work proudly.

I'm sure the final Hello Project concert will bring up a lot of strong feelings. Melon have never had a graduation, so I can't imagine how it'll feel. Until *that time* arrives... Then, afterward, we plan to keep working hard. Until then, we look forward to the show!

Okay, now about the Hello Project graduation... Please everybody, don't worry.

Even when we graduate, Melon Kinenbi will be Melon Kinenbi. It won't change.

And the four of us will straighten up, work together, and keep on running.

So, please continue to support Melon. Please watch over us. Thank you very much.

━━Graduation━━
2008/10/22 (Wed) 23:58:17

They've said that a bunch of Elder Club members are going to graduate from Hello Project next March.

Melon Kinenbi is part of Elder Club, and part of Hello Project.

I'm no good at talking about serious stuff (lol) I've wondered when that day would come and now, "Oh! It's happening in just five months." But I'm not sad at all. For me, graduation is a precious experience. It feels like, "I've learned something!" As we graduate, we're going to keep flapping our wings in Melon Kinenbi style, and do something great.

Well, I say that, but it depends on Team Melon. But it's not like, "That's it, we're breaking up!", so please keep on patronising us (lol)

After what happened today and with Up Front, please don't go to bed just yet.*

Information & a request (●^ ー^●)

Finally... About the already-mentioned Hello Project graduation. I'm sure a lot of people are worried, but rest assured that Melon Kinenbi isn't breaking up! I think the new year concerts will be the last ones we do with other Hello! Project members, so I want to stand on that stage with gratitude for the past and strong feelings of setting off on a new journey!! The four of us in Melon Kinenbi want to work together to move forward, along with our precious fans and friends!! So, please keep on giving us your support!!!!!!
