Fujii Rio's contract was terminated. Guess she didn't follow the rules. She was supposed to have graduated at the end of H!P's summer concert.
Ogawa Rena going to be on hiatus for panic disorder.. One more obstacle for the group.. I hope they are going to be fine..
Ogawa Rena has announced her graduation. http://natalie.mu/music/news/247749 http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2096896/full/ http://www.helloproject.com/news/7553/
I was expecting this.. sad but not surprising.. sad because i think Renako is one of the prettiest in the group.. Good bye Ogawa Rena if the video does not show watch the video here Kobushi sure has it tough this year..
6-nin Kobushi.. I wonder if they'll add new members? it felt weird seeing Kobushi as a 6nin group @Odatama Sea Studio if the video does not show watch the video here
Kobushi's in trouble again... this time, there was a scandal involving Taguchi Natsumi. I don't wanna place the link here, but they can be seen on her thread on Hello Online.
Yeah I saw those pic... It had been a hard year for Kobushi.. I dont know if they can afford to lose another member.. I like Taguchi a lot so I kinda dont want them to punish her by forcing her to quit.. but then again Rena also had the same scandal before she quit, I mean her official reason was panic disorder, but who knows.. so if Rena was actually punished by quiting, then it'll be not fair if they didnt punish Taguchi.. I'm still keeping an eye for what they'll do with Taguchi.. I hope it'll be like with Berryz's Miyabi.. they didnt forced her to quit (she was way too popular to be dismissed), however she lost her center position in Buono though.. Taguchi is already a back member, so I dont know.. Well even if Taguchi is forced to quit, then I'm sure they'll add someone from the ongoing audition.. seems like there are some potential girls for Kobushi among the finalist..
After all the scandal that had happen last year, Kobushi still came out with 2 positive songs as double a-side single.. It felt like they are telling us that they are still doing their best to move forward despite having all those drama last year.. THe single will be out on 28th of March Kore Kara Da!! if the video does not show watch the video here Ashita Tenki ni Nare if the video does not show watch the video here Keep fighting Kobushi Factory!!
