Can anyone help me with a small translation of whats going on on this tweet?



From what I could grasp, it seems Kaji is with some kind of health(?) issue and she had to make a decision? I don't see the word graduation there, but I'm not that good at japanese to understand properly either, can anyone make a small summary, please? Thank you :happy:

Looks like she's having vocal cord nodule surgery. After the surgery she needs to rest her throat to heal, so she will have a silent period during the month of October. So no singing/talking, but she's planning to still perform, and to communicate via smartphone, etc.

A lot better than graduation!

I came across what seems to be an unofficial UUG(Kari) YouTube fan channel. There's a video of Yurika and Meina participating in a Karaoke contest. Yurika has a pleasant voice, if a little muted. But Meina completely blew me away. I had no idea that she was packing near-Ruru-level pipes. :cry:


To skip to the vocals:
~1:10) Yurika, singing Goto Maki's Tsunku/Kan penned "Suppin to Namida"
~5:42) Meina, singing Misia's "Aitakute Ima"

Aside from that there are a number of concert clips on the channel. This one stands out as looking like a really tight set with sharp yet dynamic camera work, the audience is into it.

I'm unaware if this has been posted already

To whoever is interested, I just found out former Kari member Kudo Sumire is p<now art of the company NEW PIECE

Not sure what the company is about, but it seems like a modeling job(?) Corrections are apreciated.



From what I could find, she has been with them since the begining of the month

This was a cute video. After a brief opening segment where Meina says "Burajiru-jin no mirakuru-bira kubari," (ブラジル人のミラクルビラ配り/Brazilian Miracle leaflet distributor(, a well-known "hayakuchi kotoba" (tongue twister), the show starts with Up Up Girls(2) minus Hoochan playing a party game called "Haa tte iu GAME," which from what I can glean, works like this:

There are two decks of cards. In the "theme" deck each card has a theme or topic for them to act out. Below the theme, the card will have various subtopics lettered A-H. On the other deck, there are "act" cards that are just labeled A through H. So the player will pull a theme card which she shows to everyone, and an act card that she keeps hidden. If she pulls the act card with the letter H, then she has to act out the subtheme letter H. So imagine something like this:

Image

The player would then have to act out an "irritated yes," using her expression, gestures, and/or tone of voice. And the other players score if they can guess which letter was on the act card. Sometimes there's nothing for them to say out loud, it's just a gesture of some sort.

So in the round they end up playing, the themes are

  • WINK
  • HENSHIN POSE (the pose that heroes do when they transform into their powered-up form)
  • SUMOMO MO MOMO MO MOMO NO UCHI (a hayakuchi kotoba that she's supposed to recite in a certain style)
  • NAN NAN? (wtf?)
  • KIMI WO MAMORU! (I'll protect you!)
  • PROPOSE (a marriage proposal)

The cutest part is when Yuria guesses the wrong answer for "nannan?" but she's so confused that she thinks she got the right answer and says, "Yatta! :w00t: .... are :unsure: ?"
