[11/26] Michishige Sayumi graduated from Morning Musume. '14 at Yokohama Arena

[avanpiper]

I'm sooo not ready for any of the 9th and 10th gen to graduate.

[gustave154]

woah if we see anyone graduating in the next two years that would be pretty shocking imo.
i vote for 5 more years!!

[Mixi]

I think Harunan, Eripon and Zukki are the next to graduate as they're building a career outside of MM, but when will that happen? Everyone aspires to become the next Sayumi. With MM '15 having 13 members, someone has to graduate in the next two years. Sad, but true. They can't keep going on without adding new members to keep things fresh.

I can see Sakura going solo in a few years.

[Chibs]

Haruna is most likely to graduate, and I don't see Sakura going solo.

today's morning newspapers

interview with Sayumi and a view of the Empire State building, talking about the next H!P Leader, Yajima Maimi.

また道重のモー娘。卒業（１１月２６日）に伴うハロー！プロジェクトの新リーダーに、℃－ｕｔｅの矢島舞美（２２）が決定したことを発表。道重は「矢島ちゃんなら私の次にかわいいので大丈夫」と太鼓判を押した。

Was the Yajima bit already common knowledge? :0

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

OF COURSE THEY SKIP RIGHT OVER CAPTAIN BECAUSE SHE'S LEAVING IN A FEW MONTHS.

I'm disappointed now. :c


Although, at least this way she will never be anything other than "captain"... otherwise she'd be "leader" also. xD

[Denki]

I'm satisfied with Maimi as the next leader.

[Zunu]

I would've preferred Airi. Maimi's lovely and talented but she has a kind of Aichan blandness to her. Anyway as long as it's settled I wish her the best and hope she can really give it her all the way the Sayumi has done.

[Starra]

Eh, Maimi's the logical choice imo.
