A bit of a summary of thoughts:

Riho- is it safe to say that she's fully back in the entertainment world again? Public Insta+ Regular Column+ Stage Play seems like a pretty solid indication that Riho plans on sticking around for a bit. I don't really count her time as a dancer for Baby Metal since it was still done pretty under the radar. Do we know if Riho has signed to new management? She must have right? (Even if it's a small company.)

Harunan+ Haruka- honestly, I'm pleasantly surprised by their post-MM careers. I expected them to fade into the former-idol ether but they both seem to have transitioned pretty well. It's also nice to see with Harunan that she's still regularly engaging with H!P given the bit of distance other former idols have placed with their past.

Also, it's been so long since I've seen Haruka with long hair that I almost didn't recognize her.

Ogata- She's definitely a YouTuber now. Hopefully she can continue to build success as one. I definitely applaud her for speaking about her eating disorder because mental health seems to be rarely talked about in Japan so it definitely takes guts.

I don't think it's impossible that Riho is just freelance for the moment.

Ichii Sayaka writes about an experience her daughter had at school
https://neotokyo2099.com/2020/07/16/ich ... 0E2ES9Iu_g

Former Morning Musume member Ichii Sayaka, now blogger/political hopeful, posted on Twitter about her daughter receiving a notice from the school to dye her hair black.

Because her daughter’s hair color changes on its own and she swims a lot, her daughter must adhere to the school rules that her hair is black including the tips of her hair and was instructed to dye it black.

Her daughter had a a hair test again the next day, her daughter said that if she should dye her hair but Ichii refused and told the teacher that she’s not going to dye her hair’s daughter black. It’s a disgrace to her dignity as an individual.

How Ogata Haruna gained so much weight overeating uncontrollably after her diet episode

[Celedam]

^ Yeah, that’s how eating disorders often go, unfortunately.

I genuinely wondered if there would be a “chapter two”. Overeating and becoming fat doesn’t get the same... attention? pity? ...as starving to become thin, because the latter demonstrates a weird sort of discipline that people admire, even if they’ll never admit it. So I’m glad to see she’s telling the whole story.

I also suspect she’s had counseling for these issues. To be able to speak about them so frankly and publicly, and to a primarily Japanese audience, she must have first spent a long time working them out privately.

TaaNon dance to "Booo!" by TOKOTOKO, featuring the vocaloid singer Una Otomachi…



It's another meme: the song is about domestic arguments like "Who ate the last pudding?" and "Did you forget what day it is?", so of course lots of Japanese celebrity couples have been doing videos like this. TaaNon are actually late to the game, but damned if they aren't the cutest.

For reference…
