Elders got kicked out of H!P

[Conan]

I have serious doubts of Up-Front's ability not only to produce a regular schedule for them all but also for keeping them on board. I sense a massive migration to other agencies. I'd kill to see Gomattou on a-nation. Wait and see.

[Chatin]

I'd die of laughter if Ayaya left for Avex and was forced to do upbeat stuff.

[Zunu]

I sense a massive migration to other agencies.

It's a questionable assumption that some other agencies even want Up-Front's over-the-hill castoffs.

I'm just wondering if MM is now effectively the new "Elder Club"? And somebody else (Buono???) is now the new MM?

[TotallyUncool]

That would make BerryZ the new Buono -- then C-ute would become the new BerryZ, and who would be the new C-ute? (It can't be any Elders' kidz, because they're gone -- Tsunku's ?) :laugh:

Summary of the part about the Elder graduation in March:
Mai and Yossie seems to be in a cheerful and lively mood when they're discussiing the upcoming graduation.. They're both having a fun & lively discussion.

Fan mail mentions how KonKon (konno asami) will be the first ever to graduate from HP twice. tongue.gif Then Mai and Yossie talk about their thoughts on the upcoming graduation. They feel there won't be a any major changes per se. But Yossie did mention that it might mean not participating in any group activities like HP concerts or Elder Club concerts. Yossie joked that you won't be seeing the sight where you have girls that are upwards of 27 or 37 years old, prancing around on stage wearing similar outfits with the Egg girls, some who are half her (Yossie's) age, like seeing a mom-and-daughter act. laugh.gif Then Yossie mentioned how she never felt that Maichan was with HP. Always being reminded, "Oh, yeah, Maichan's with HP". Maichan: "Yeah, I get that alot from ppl.. Like, "Maichan, you're a so-and-so musume, too?" from ppl I meet in showbiz. I'm wondering what's going to happen to that label/title 'Country Musume' after the graduation since i've been using that label alot. tongue.gif Like when I graduate from HP, I'm not a 'Country Musume' anymore". Yossie: Doesn't that make you feel a little sad?' Mai:"Yeah, it kinda does. I never imagined that label (country musume) would disappear like this, as though it never existed (laughes). But I guess that's about it. I mean, we're all gonna basically be under the same management (UF) ". Yossie: "Right". Then Yossie & Mai repeated what they said earlier, that it'll probably just mean less opportunities to do group activities, but that's about it.

Reading thru some Oricon articles, I came across one for Ayaya being interviewed for doing some work for the Japanese Misistry of Welfare and Labor to encourage the hiring of people with disabilities and she claimed "nothing's changed." And Mari was at the Tokyo International Film Festival because of her voice-acting for the Journey To The Center Of The Earth movie (she said it was embarassing doing the voice-over for the love scene and she worked hard to make her voice sultry and sexy) and she also claimed that "nothing has changed."

so for now, H!P/UF is downplaying the whole thing. That'll change of course as things draw to a close.

I said it before and I'll say it again... "Damn you Tsunku!" ::waves the official Damn you Tsunku Flag:: :rolleyes:
