Yes, it's old, very old, but I found it by chance and I couldn't help feeling nostalgic (besides, I hadn't watched it before)...

Sayumi would participate in 10000yen for a month project.

Morning Musume’s Michishige Sayumi (22) will appear on TV Asahi’s variety program “Ikinari! Ougon Densetsu” and revealed she will be partaking in the “Living on 10,000 yen for 1 month” project. 10,000 yen can be converted to around 128 US dollars.

Michishige wrote, “The program will air sometime in the middle of November, but the official date hasn’t been announced yet. However, I just COULDN’T endure it and had to tell you all!!! KYAAAAA!!”

This project is a battle in which the contestants have to save money when it comes to food and utilities. When the one month is over, the person with the most money leftover is the winner.

Michishige’s opponent is Akiyama Ryuji from the comedic group Robert. Michishige emphasized, “Sayumi will do her best!! Particularly when it comes to ‘cooking’!!”

Idol group Morning Musume has just updated their official website with individual profile pictures of each member for their new single, “Pyoko Pyoko Ultra“!

To match their ultra-cute, bright A-side, the girls are decked out in fluffy yellow chick outfits, giving them a cheerful and youthful image.

Check out each of their profile shots below!

Morning Musume reveals profile pictures for “Pyoko Pyoko Ultra”!

I looked at that picture and thought 'Mmm...I hardly recognize anyone, I guess it's because of the costumes'. But then I realized that there are only four members left from the MM I used to know...I'm afraid my love for this group is really dying...

[kimunlimited]

Me too.

After they graduate Kusumi I started following AKB48 but I still peek at news about them from time to time. But the new members I hardly knew them.

Edit: I feel lazy about mirroring their new jacket release news from Tokyohive.But here's the link

[doraemon423]

I love the covers! And the song sounds awesome too<3

[karles48]

That's not the best song MM has released, indeed...it would suit a Super Mario Bros game but, if Tsunku thinks MM will compete with AKB48 with songs like this...

[kimunlimited]

Can you still remember the Hello Project members even after you are an AKB48 fan. Then try this game.

Just type the names of the member you still remember, you will be given 15 minutes.

Can you name the Hello! Project members?

*its not mine.

[karles48]

I'm not even trying, I know only the (old) MM's members and a few others (Mano Erina, Momoko Tsugunaga...)

My last hope vanished...for God's sake, that isn't a song for MM, that's a song for C-ute, it would even be too childish for Berryz...
PS: of course everybody is free to think differently...

[kimunlimited]

^^

That's not the Morning Musume I used to follow.

Tsunku must be out of new ideas.

Pyoko Pyoko Ultra concert performance at 2:28. Just a short clip of it.

Nobody would guess they are the senior members, indeed...

[Charlokylie]

Isn't the more important point of that video the fact that Gaki is graduating? (Meaning Sayumi will be leader )

And the fact that C-ute's song is more mature than MM's

[kimunlimited]

(Meaning Sayumi will be leader )

Please not Sayumin, I do like her, but I'm more in Reina being the leader of MM and HP. I hope they don't give Saki the leadership of HP.

[karles48]

Please not Sayumin, I do like her, but I'm more in Reina being the leader of MM and HP. I hope they don't give Saki the leadership of HP.

Yes, if Sayumi is the leader I'm afraid their style will become even more childish, Reina would be a better choice...

[Ian905]

I love how everybody was talking about how after Ai graduated this was Gaki's big moment, her time to shine, she's going to be an awesome leader, she'll make MoMusu relevant again, blah blah blah...


She's leader for like all of five minutes then gives up.


At least now I feel justified in never liking her. Sayumi will do much better than her, at least she's dedicated to the group and the fans. Gaki stopped giving a shit about Morning Musume years ago.

I think that's unfair. Let's take a look at the current group (the first number is the age)

23 Risa Niigaki (2001–)
22 Sayumi Michishige (2003–)
22 Reina Tanaka (2003–)
18 Aika Mitsui (2006–)
15 Mizuki Fukumura (2011–)
14 Erina Ikuta (2011–)
13 Riho Sayashi (2011–)
13 Kanon Suzuki (2011–)
17 Haruna Iikubo (2011–)
14 Ayumi Ishida (2011–)
12 Masaki Satō (2011–)
12 Haruka Kudō (2011–)

So, not only Risa is the last member of her generation and two years older than the second and third older members, but she also is the leader of a group with an average age of 16.25. That means she's more than six years 'too old' so I can't blame her for thinking she's too old to be the next leader of MM. Of course, I think that Reina and Sayumi will leave soon, too, so the most likely scenario is Aika as the leader in one or two years...
