Fujimoto Miki to Return as a Solo Artist~!

An announcement was made that former Morning Musume Member Fujimoto Miki is currently recording a single entitled "Oki Tegami"... From the source we had, it is said that the song wouldn't be in a Pop genre but it's gonna be more of a children song....

Quotes from Miki:
"This song was really difficult. It was different from what I used to sing until now, so please look forward for this new Fujimoto Miki."
"My mom told me not to cause any trouble to Horiuchi-san."

As Mikitty said that this new song for her is difficult, lets give her hand for coming back and with a new single!!! Lets hope she Topped the Oricon Charts!! *claps claps claps*


The single is scheduled to release on April 23, 2008.

-----------------------------

To all the fans out there:

I, Iida Kaori, gave birth to a boy weighing 3200 grams on January 22nd at 10:45 am.

I've been passing each day one day at a time, waiting for this moment where I can finally say, "I can finally meet my child who has existed in my belly for so long..."

I can't begin to describe the happiness & joy I felt when I gave birth and was finally able to embrace my child, my tears just wouldn't stop. The sense of responsibility and parental love suddenly came forth all at once. I had this feeling that the only ones in this world who can protect this small life were the two of us parents.

I'm a new mother, but I'll do my best to start my child down the path toward a good life.

Please regard us kindly in the future.

Breaking News! v-u-den to disband

石川
「私たち美勇伝は、今年６月に予定しています単独コンサートツアーの最終日をもって、美勇伝としての活動を終了することに決めました。６月のツアー最終日 まで、美勇伝の名を汚さぬよう、日々美しく、勇ましく、その姿が皆様に伝わるように全力投球していきます。皆さん、よろしくお願いします。」

三好
「美勇伝としての３年半余りの活動によって、自分たちは成長できたと思っています。この成長を今後の自分達のそれぞれの活動に生かしていきたいと思います。期待と寂しさ半々ですが、これからの私達にも期待して下さい！」

岡田
「美勇伝の活動終了後は、それぞれハロプロメンバーの一員として、新しい気持ちで活動していくつもりです。美勇伝というグループで活動できてきたこと、ファンの皆様に出会えたこと、私たち３人は本当に誇りに思っています！皆さん、ほんとにありがとうございます！」

Ishikawa
We, v-u-den, have decided to stop our activities on the last day of our own concert tour in June. To not ruin v-u-d’s reputation, we will be working beautifully (as in ‘Vi’) and bravely (as in ‘Yu’) till our last day. Please support us!

Miyoshi
I have been growing up a lot during these 3.5 years. This makes us think about our future more. Loneliness and the feeling of looking forward is 50/50. Everyone, please support us!

Okada
After the disbanding of v-u-den, we will be working in a new style as an H!P member. We are happy that we can debut as v-u-den and meet fans. Everyone, thank you very much.

The disbanding of v-u-den was very sudden to some of us fans, especially myself. v-u-den is certainly not the lowest selling H!P group so why is v-u-den disbanding? The question remains.

This would be the first group to disband in 2008. Fans, of course did not wish to see this coming. V-u-den was the first H!P group that came to Singapore for a small tour in 2005
