OG (Graduated Members) / M-line Club / M-line Music

I'd guess that she could have a pretty good fanbase among overseas Jpop fans -- for some reason, I could see her being popular in France.

On a semi-random/semi-related note, her style of humor when she was in Morning Musume always reminded me more than a bit of Harpo Marx.

Also, there are Japanese musical guests slated to appear at Japan Expo Sud in Marseille next month, and though guests for Japan Expo in Paris haven't been announced yet, July is still six months away.

So your saying I have a chance?

I'm still going to be there in July

^ H!P or H!P OG acts have appeared at most of the Japan Expos in Paris since 2010, so yeah, I'd say you have a decent chance. At the very least, it wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on their guest announcements. And even if H!P doesn't show up, the odds are still very good that some other big-name idol group will.

Whereas my hope of Yaguchi coming to San Francisco is probably nothing more than a pipe dream….

I'm wondering what kind of fanbase Mari has outside Japan?

I can't imagine that it's very large. What kind of fanbase does she even have inside Japan nowadays?

Miyoshi and Yaguchi are both in Thailand together. They had lunch.

Ex-Melon Kinenbi member Shibata Ayumi is gettin' hitched to Minami Masaki, pitcher for the Chiba Marines baseball team. She'll stop her professional activities March 4th.

EDIT：Maybe. I can't seem to find any articles about it--just a post from 910 Percent.

^ Here's one. Apparently they got married today/yesterday (January 25th). I don't see anything about March 4th in the article, though.

I can break the news today
I’ll be appearing in
A WOWOW drama based on Higashino Keigo-san’s work
"Kakko no Tamago wa Dare no Mono".

When I said that
I was going to the snowy mountains.
It was to shoot for that drama.

I’ve been in a shooting since the morning today.

And this time
I tried skiing for the first time.
Since I’d never done it before
I was full of anxiety
But everything’s an experience, right!!

I grappled every day
With the snow and temperatures that I couldn’t get used to.


This was the temperature when I arrived at the shooting location this morning.





It’s constantly below freezing here (°_°)





I’ll do my best to add
Even a little bit more colour
Into this drama!!

The title translates as "Whose Is the Cuckoo's Egg?".

Hiromasa is a former top skier. His daughter, Kazami (Tao Tsuchiya), also aspires to become a top skier like her father. One day, it is discovered that Kazami possesses a gene that only top athletes have. A researcher asks permission to examine Hiromasa and Kazami, but Hiromasa refuses because of a secret about his daughter's birth.

A newborn kidnapping case took place more than 10 years ago and the death of Hiromasa's wife. Who is Kazami's parents? Secrets are revealed.

http://asianwiki.com/Whose_Is_the_Cuckoo's_Egg%3F

The plot involves a retired professional skier named Hiromasa Hida whose daughter Kazami (played by Tao Tsuchiya in the upcoming drama) is also a gifted athlete. When asked by scientists if they can study both Hiromasa and Kazami's genomes in search of a gene that world-class athletes share, Hiromasa refuses, resulting in the slow unveiling of a web of conspiracy surrounding Kazami's true origins.

If you know anything about the cuckoo bird, you might have an idea of where this is going…
