OMFG!!


I think we just need more info...
it's not such a bad thing IF they're putting everyone in a different company... to lose that idol image?
Otherwise... (o.O) WTF?!!

Does this mean as of March 31st, Takahashi will be leader of H!P? Probably not, but she will be the oldest of the organization.

^ I guess.

looks like its time to go back into anime and be my old self again. Now to me the idol world sucks....

But hey, since hANGRY&ANGRY aren't a H!P group, maybe we will see them more in the fashion industry

IYA! IYA DAYO!!!!

THE FANS WILL NOT ALLOW IT!!!!

Tsunku and Yuuko, I understand your point of views, BUT you just CAN'T... THROW the members away! >:(

I'll stop listening to H!P if all the members are really released. >:( x 8000

AVEX is going to have a field day.

Also, it's called UFA Eggs now, not H!P eggs. Interesting.

I feel the sadness this brings to fans of these women, but life goes on. Everything must come to an end for there to be a new beginning. I think it’s real selfish of some fans to want them to remain, think about all the opportunities that this will bring to them. I have to admit to only being a H!P fan in the last few years, but I know I don’t want my favorites in C-ute and Berryz to remain in H!P forever. I want them to grow to go on to bigger and better things and in the end I’ll cherish the great memories as you will also.

For those that seem to have to bash C-ute and Berryz to make yourselves feel better about this shame on you!

Unexpected but not surprising since so many of these members got to do so little in H!P, even though in my view that's where all the talent is, it just makes me angry that the Elder Members, the ones who put H!P on the map, are just being tossed out like trash. I just hope Aya and Miki (the only reason why I bother with H!P at all)completely leave UFA and find somewhere they have a real opportunity to grow as artists and be taken more seriously.

It was fairly obvious when they started releasing MEGA BEST things.

It's about time too. I can't say I was a major fan of the Elder Club, I mean they just sat around rotting away. It was like a kiss of death when you were graduated from H!P and honestly I think some of the people in Elder club are frankly, somewhat useless. Not in terms of personality, singing ability, etc... but they will never sell that great compared to certain others as well as not being meant to be in an idol group.

This is good news for the Elder club. Those who always shined compared to the rest and have great potential but had bad management will probably still be successful at something, like Yaguchi, Aibon/Ai or Gomaki. I mean it's different when you are in a group, but you have to have a certain look, sound and personality to be able to stand on your own which is quite the challenge compared to being a member of a group.

Besides a lot of the Elder Club were simply too old to be in an idol group anyway. I mean some of them have killer talent but should not be subjected to running around in skimpy clothing for guys to look at. Not saying that's not part of the business but when that's all you do and you never release anything, it's time to get out. Although I suppose that job was better than none.

I think it's a breath of fresh air for H!P though, I don't think it necessarily means the end of H!P yet(although there will come a time when it will be disbanded)but just that H!P is getting what their brand should be, right. It was getting too branched out for my liking honestly. I mean it would be all right if everyone was getting work but it wasn't going to happen and some people/groups wouldn't sell anyway so why even bother?

I certainly don't think this is the end for most of the Elder Club, though. I think we'll still see some around, and I certainly do wish them luck on wherever their journey takes them.

Looking back, it sure seems that Tsuji, Kago, and ESPECIALLY Maki read their cards perfectly.

Tsuji figured it was the end of the run and had a kid. Kago already has a new movie. And Maki dumped UFA before they thought of dumping her.

first of all, WTF!?

second, this could've been done a long time ago...

a lot of Elder club members already merried or "not an idol" anymore.

I agree, Elders useless? For me not!!! Elders were the only thing keeping me interested in H!P. I don't really have any interest in the remaining acts... That's what's sad! But it really is all about what a person likes and has interest in...

This is confusing. YoMako, Yuko, Nacchi, Kaori, Mari... other people I love, not H!P? Different label? Doing not idol work? I'm so confused. I hope this gets cleared up soon, because we're all in an uproar. This makes no sense. UFA/Tsunku need(s) to properly explain this. There aren't a lot of things that I'll demand to know just because I'm a fan, but this is certainly one of them.

 2008-10-19 22:35
Well I'm sorry if I put it harshly, but they aren't selling well, so what is the point of them to UFA? They are pretty much useless, rotting away, because UFA can't market and as stated before, these idols, or some of them aren't selling anything hardly.

Marida@>> I feel the same. Good that I'm into Berryz now, otherwise... I'd leave H!P so fast ^^;

The Elders were my favourite members!!!!! :( And I really doubt ALL of them'll do SOMETHING.


Bad. Just too bad for the unlucky ones.

 2008-10-19 23:54
what are you doing tsunku?!?!?! I can understand members like yuko, yaguchi...all the first gen members...even tsuji graduating.....but i really don't think it is a good idea for rika, yossie, miyoshi, mako, and okada to leave yet. even though they've appeared on some shows they've barely sung on them....well since Uta Doki....I think Mako especially needs to stay for a little longer....as far as i know i haven't seen her sing at all yet since she came back which was like not too long ago. I think ayaya will do fine...well more than fine....after all she is starting to write her own lyrics now. So then whats going to happend now with Yossie and rika being in Hungry and angry? Was that just a one time deal or what. I wonder if tsunku is feeling pressure in trying to keep these girls' career's going. alot of them haven't been doing anything or much....especially miyoshi and okada.....jeez. After all i wouldn't want to maintain 25 individual careers as well as the 3 major groups.

"I don't really care that they're most likely being moved to a separate thing under UFA. It just makes me angry that the elder members, the ones who xxxxing got H!P to where it is now, are just being tossed out like nothing more than trash." [3]

Crap! Crap! Worst news I've ever heard! They were the ones that kept me interested with H!P. IDK I can't even think straight DX

this makes me really sad, especially since konkon just came back to h!p
 
 
 queuebert
 2008-10-20 00:34
It's not so bad, hearing them all leave at once. It saves the sadness of each individual member leaving one at a time. It's sort of like, instead of going to the dentist and having each tooth pulled out one at a time, you get all your teeth kicked out at once.

But, like, before all this goes down, any chance Ogawa and Konno can get swept back under the proverbial Musume rug?

 Country Musume FanBoy
 2008-10-20 01:00
I always felt something weird about those Mega Best albums being released. I'm really sad about this happening. I guess that means that Country Musume will be officially disbanded since Satoda Mai is graduating. Sure, Country Musume was over after Miuna and Asami graduated...but it was the fact that H!P still recognized the name...even if it was just one girl. Same for Coconuts Musume before Ayaka graduated. But I' starting to ask myself lots of questions. Will Abe Natsumi continue to sing after this graduation? I have a feeling Aya Matsuura will keep releasing under the UFA label, she's been wanting to rid herself of her Ayaya image (I miss that image after seeing her Ne~e PV, haha! But I love the "Kizua" image). As for Mari Yaguchi, I feel she'll keep making TV apperances, Miki Fujimoto will keep singing...Tsuji's gonna stay a mother...Iida Kaori...I think she will probably stay a mother too. Yuko will probably be releasing singles slowly, same for Maeda Yuki. Overall, I'm deely sad about this. I will still listen to Morning Musume, C-ute, BerryZ, and Mano Erina, but I'm not gonna be as big of an H!P fan as I was before. I will always remember H!P for how it started.

Gosh Tsunku, what a way to treat the elders :(
"They will still be under UFA"...that's like putting your parents in a nursing home, lol.

This really has been a bad day :(
Let's use this forum to keep ourselves in touch with what our elder club members are doing. All because their leaving H!P, doesnt mean their careers are over.

All of the reasons I loved Hello! Project are now gone. Hello! Project, as I understand it, just died. Well, there is nothing I can do about it, and I'm sure that 10-year-old girls will still like the shell of a group that is left.

I'll just point out once again that Tsunku is not to blame; Yamazaki Naoki is.
 
 
 QT-Salliee
 2008-10-20 01:16
Tsunku is just silly. this is beyond silly.
that means all there will be are Morning Musume, Berryz Koubou, C-ute & Hello Pro Egg etc.?
(oh and their sub-groupie thingys like Buono! etc.)

and will Aichan take over Yuko's place?

personally, i find this absolutely ridiculous. yeah, they should expand themselves out of H!P sooner or later, but i would expect them one by one (like Ayaka).. not altogether. and i was starting to listen to the Elder Club units more and more D;

but i still will support them in the future. they only have a few months left

GANBATTE!

WHAT?!?!?!

I don't know what on earth Tsunku is thinking. I agree with some other peoples' comments that perhaps these girls can move on to bigger and better things since they've pretty much been ignored for quite a while now. But still...NO MORE MELON KINENBI?! That makes me very sad.... ;_;

Wha....huh? *cries*
*Flashback to end of Sailor Stars, takes Sailor Moon's place with Yossie as Mars, Nozomi, Aya Matsuura, and Rika all nearby*
NOOOO! Yossie! Don't leave me! I can't go on without you! Give Yossie Back! Give Nozomi Back! Give Aya Back! Give Rika Back! GIVE YOSSIE BACK! *cries more!*

It doesn't make sense, I mean, Sure the group was getting pretty big, but so many of them are still hugely popular!

After getting back from the shock and reading again tsunku comments, i don't think their getting rid of the elder club totally, what i think the are doing is letting the girls from elders club a chance to be more variable, my point been that as part of HP! they mos be the perfect girls(idol) or your out, in my opinion their gonna create a new label for them where they could be a little more rebel girls instead of perfect girls,

Well in resume, calm down everybody, in a few month we are gonna know for sure, so don't go committing massive suicide just yet.

"Change" can go both ways (good and/or bad)... you pick what this falls under...

MY initial reaction:: *jaw drops - stares at screen in utter shock* (*O*)
.
.
10 mins. later...
.
2nd reaction: ha..ha.ha...haha...this is a sick and horrible, HORRIBLE, joke...right?
.
2 mins. later...
.
.
3nd reaction: *cries* (TToTT) nooo~!! I-I-WHY!!!! DAMN YOU UFA!!!!
.
*After 5 mins. of reasonable thinking*
.
3rd reaction: Ok...Ok, I'm fine with this... still pretty depressed, but I'm happy for them. Truly; they can be "free" from their H!P idol image, and "spread their wings" elsewhere now...and maybe build up an even bigger career...yeah, yeah, that sounds good... ...sounds good... ...GANBATTE OG MEMBER no minna-san!!! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU ALL ! ! ! o(TT^TT)o

Let's all hope that their last graduation concert under H!P is a huge one we will never EVER forget... if it's NOT...well, another damn...

...in the end, and I hate to be cruel, as long as IshiYoshi sticks together, I'll be alright for now...and not complain as much...yet... we'll see how this whole situation progresses... for better or for worse... let's hope again that it's the first option.






ARGH! It's so frustrating!!! -- UFA! !WHOEVER IS RUNNIG THE WHOLE DAMN COMPANY, F- YOU!!! DX
