Yikes, turns out it was Tsunku's decision to graduate her, not her own =x

this is just making me more confused...i've read all these peoples ~theories~ on H!O and jpm for why Tsunku picked her (all which are probably wrong ) which didn't help things.

This is a translation of his official announcement on the matter.

As for Kusumi, she was a bit puzzled at first, but she accepted it firmly, and as you can see from her comment, she decided to move on, and looks like she is hopeful for her new future. She intends to do her best as a Morning Musume member until 12/6, which marks the end of current concert tour, "MM Concert Tour 2009 Aki-Nine Smiles".

Therefore, you better not miss this tour, and we're looking forward to seeing you, all over Japan!"



what are they hiding...

Wait, so Tsunku made a second statement...?

I don't think that Tsunku himself minds if the girls have boyfriends, but their agency, UpFront, doesn't want them to have boyfriends as it "ruins" their "innocence" image with the wota.

Japan is weird.

I don't think they're hiding anything. Tsunku has said there WILL be auditions for the 9th generation..it's just always been a matter of when. It's been 2 years with the same line up and he wanted to mix it up...so he graduated someone with middle popularity that they can (arguably) afford to lose.

^ I think that it's a little unfair to graduate Koharu for that purpose... I dunno.

Did she really bring THAT much money from Kirarin? I didn't follow it so I don't know =\

Yeah, it probably was unfair to graduate her out of order..but it does spice things up. Although I don't want auditions either. I hope they don't make Momusu too young again.

^ her single Balalaika sold more than 70,000 copies and outsold any Morning Musume single released that year, she was like the best selling solo singer in H!P from 2006 to 2008 too

edit:
by the way EVERYDAY Zekkouchou ranked #2 weekly and it's currently C-ute's highest ranking single to date ^_^ I'm really happy for them! Omedetou!

I guess they did make a lot of money off of her then. Probably why they're releasing a photobook & DVD right before she graduates.
