Now my favorite gen is broke . Someone bring me the tissues

[bisuketto]

I'm devastated. My oshimen ;_; I always thought Mizuki or Honey would graduate before her.

[himonomusume]

Oh no, not Kudo!
Though I'm sad that she will be graduating this soon, I'm truly happy for her and the fact that she's decided to continue a life in the public eye!

But damn, April is not a good fandom month for me. In 2005 my all time favourite member Yaguchi resigned from MM and while my interest for the group decreased, I've always stayed a fan but it wasn't until Kudo joined in 2011 that I really started paying attention to them and their releases again. It's just not the same if you don't have a member that's your favourite.

10th Gen was THE reason I got back into Momusu all hardcore. After 2009 I still followed Momusu closely but my fandom had cooled after the loss of Jun/Lin/Eri. 9th gen didn't connect with me as much as I hoped it would have,but 10th gen hit me like a freight train of awesome. I KNEW this was coming, they couldn't stay together forever, and I KNEW I was going to be disappointed and sad about it, but it still sucks.

I'm glad Haruka found her passion, but it still sucks.

photos from Kudo's announcement. She says her goal is to become a star actress and be in a position where Hirose Suzu is and to be in a morning NHK TV drama heroine (Asadora Heroine) someday. She said she got a mail from Tsunku telling her to do her best. She has had many male roles, but she wants to try acting as an ordinary girl going to a girls school.

a Morning Musume. member becoming a big time morning drama actress someday.

[Celedam]

Well, at least now we know why she's letting her hair grow out, after so many years with a boy cut.
