    Yazawa Erika + Fonchi officially graduate from Idoling!!!

    On December 23rd, original Idoling!!! members Yazawa Erika (Idoling #7) and Fonchi (Idoling #8) finally graduated from the group during their Fuji TV program “Idoling!!!“, where they said goodbye to their fans with a special live.

    Both Yazawa and Fonchi will continue with their own solo activities following their departure from the idol group. “I feel so accomplished, ” said Yazawa of her time in Idoling!!!. “Now that [Idoling!!!'s] five year anniversary has passed and I’ve turned 20, the things I want to do have become clear.”

    When asked about her future activities, her management showed her enthusiasm to continue in the entertainment industry by stating, “Like Yuuka-san, she’d like to become an MC or some other thing so that she may be loved by other women.”

    Fonchi excitedly talked about her plans to challenge acting in movies or theater. “Up until now, I’ve been keeping on with activities that have [given me the chance] to stand on my own. After this, I’d like to do plays for myself,” she said of her future as an entertainer.

    It’s been revealed that Idoling!!! #16 Kikuchi Ami will be releasing her first photo book, “ami-ing“, on February 9th.

    Kikuchi has already released five DVDs, but this will be her very first photo book. Shot in Guam, “ami-ing” is said to be filled with eye candy, featuring photos of Kikuchi in swimsuits and wedding dresses.

    To commemorate the release of her photo book, Kikuchi will be holding a release event on February 11th. Further details will be announced through LesPros Entertainment’s official website.

    Kikuchi commented, “My first photo book is finally finished!!! I can’t put it into words!!! My favorite photos are the ones of me in a wedding dress. I’ve always dreamed about wearing a wedding dress for my photo book.”

    She continued, “Also, the swimsuit that is made of flowers! I also suggested this myself. This photo book is very promising, and I’m very satisfied with it. I hope many people will look at it…

    Take a sneak peek at the photo book below!

    Tonooka? Yazapai? Yazapai is such a cool chick She does make appeances here and there. Be sure and keep track of her blog.

    http://ameblo.jp/yazawaerika-blog/

    I got to meet her once at a promotional event for one of her trading card sets. One of the nicest idols I have ever met. She is the same in person as she was on their TV show. Totally playful, loves to have fun with her fans. And she told me she has relatives in California (near where my brother lives) I hope I run into her there one day. [hehe]

    Tanooka, but I also love Yazapai, she is really cool chick like you said. :p
    Thank you for the link, I will check it out and keep track of her and other members.

    Aw you're so lucky, I wish I could see even one idol someday. She really sounds nice, did she speak English or did you speak Japanese with her?

    Funny you should ask...

    I think Yazapai's English is limited to pop culture slang. For example, she asked if she was my "homie" (which is something she is known to say to overseas fans) I usually prepare something in Japanese to say to idols when I meet them. But Erika did something very cool.

    It turned out one of her managers at the time was fluent in Engish. So she went and fetched him to be a translator. We got to talk for like 1-2 two minutes. It also turned out to be a photo event, where the fans got to take picures of her and direct her poses. I didn't know, and hadn't brought a regular camera (cell phone cameras were not permitted). So the manager took a posed cheki of her to give me instead.

    Haha she is an adorable homie. :p
    That's simply amazing, it so nice that she took an effort to fetch the manager. I actually never heard of an idol who's done something like this before.
    And you got a picture too, that's so great!

    Yazawa Erika has returned!!!

    She has resumed blogging after a 4-year hiatus. She also opened up a YouTube channel. All this after making an appearance on London Hears, a show she used to be a recurring guest on! BTW, she is married (we already knew that) and has a 4-year old son.

    https://ameblo.jp/yazawaerika-blog/

    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD6TfIMfrtpSOCSbpGvwMrQ <-- YouTube channel

    Her first video, sort of "a day in the life of Yazapai"


    if the video does not show watch the video here

    This one is cool too. She's going through her closet and reminiscing about her old DVDs, calendars and whatnot.

    Nice to see Erika again. She was one of my favorite idols when she was active.
