Of Hellos and Goodbyes - Part 1

This entry had to be written a long time ago... but i didn't because: 1.- I was at work (Like it would have stop me before XD) and 2.- After I began taking classes again it had absorbed all the spare time I have left ;___;.

Anyways why hellos?

As you may know about the new tactic Tsunku and UFA to attract the fans: DREAM MUSUME
But what is Dream Musume? It is a freaking new Unit formed by ALL former MM members that are still in near or willing to be part of, on the 13th anniversary of MM creation.

The girls are: Nakazawa Yuuko, Iida Kaori, Abe Natsumi, Yaguchi Mari, Yasuda Kei, Fujimoto Miki, Ishikawa Rika, Yoshizawa Hitomi, Ogawa Makoto and Koisumi Koharu. Konno Asami will not be participating because her contract as news telecaster forbids her so and Tsuji Nozomi due to maternity.

So far this Unit's purpose is so attract attention from the fans. And this is solely me, a cheap marketing strategy to get the fans to stay, to apace maybe those worried wotas from what may be the impending end of MM. Because like it or not, my girls are trying but the Management is not helping at all. To bring the older girls is sign that something may BE wrong.

You see since the massive graduation of the OGs UFA and H!P have been running only on ºC-ute, Berryz Koubou, S/mileage, Buono! Mano Erina y Morning Musume. Eventhough the latter group as their main group, H!P as a whole is not as strong within the public as they were before. Maybe the groups were not as well marketed as before, maybe the quality of the products were not enough, maybe the girls lack personality, maybe the competence is way too strong, maybe the costumes were way too ridiculous, etc, etc, etc.

As long as is this list, it is my what if's list XD. But I can live in the past u___u as much I would love to. It's not healthy ;___;

Also another thing I'm wondering is what they offered them. Because some of them were active, or married, or doing something else like traveling XDDD... but let's be positive about it, shall we?

They will release a new album, “DoriMusu. (1)“, Morning Musume re-maked songs, and two new songs, on April 20th. They will also hold a live tour “Dream Morning Musume. Concert Tour 2011 Haru no Mai~Sotsugyousei DE Saikessei~” (7 cities, 16 stages), starting on April 23rd. Moreover, there will also be a bigger live tour in the fall, in which they will hit 40 stages in 20 cities, which is more than I can wish for.

All in all, it is a great effort from UFA and H!P to promote them. Who does not miss Roman -My Dear Boy, or Daite! Hold on Me, or Happy Summer Wedding? I DO.

On the Next entry I will post why Goodbye. A clue: I think you ALL know what is going to happen on December of this year ;___;
