Basically the title. The pinned posts are way outdated and there's someone making troll posts insulting members (and worse) for the past day.

-Francis from l4d2

I’ve mostly seen this term on Japanese second hand websites, regarding idol pics that look to be a bit bigger than regular photocards. The backing of some have regular photo paper watermarks.

Is this like a unique photo of an idol that’s been taken? Or is it just as plain as any mass produced pc?

Sorry if I’m asking in the wrong subreddit, but I hope u guys can help. Thanks!

Chisaki tested positive on the 13th and Ayumi has tested positive on the 20th

Mizuki, Erina, Sakura, Maria, Akane, Rio, Homare and Mei are having to isolate due to contact with Ayumi. The remaining three only just returned from their isolation after contact with Chisaki

In a recent blog post Ayumi says Kaede will be taking a break from activities. I did hear why does anybody know?

Does any one know if Sato Masaki is in America right now? I saw a tik tok of hers and it shows the Mesa's of Arizona.

Kinda self explanatory, but does anyone happen to have a list of every center for every single since debut? Thanks!

Anyone know where I can watch eps of morning musume on utaban with eng subs want to go back down memory lane.

I recently subtitled Nacchi and Yuko’s graduation concert so my mom could understand what they were saying lol(albeit not that good as I’m still polishing my Japanese skills). But I found it really fun and I want to subtitle more videos. But would anyone want to watch them? Also if you are looking for a particular video that was subbed by another subbing group pre-2004 feel free to ask me because I probably have it lol.

I've only been a fan of MM since late 2019 after seeing the Hello Morning english lesson episode with Thane Camus. I was intrigued to learn more about them and I would watch anything Morning Musume related on YouTube, Dailymotion, etc... Then COVID came along and I had all the time in the world to watch everything I could get my hands on.

But I'd realize some of the videos that I had watched would get taken down. It didn't take that long for me to found Aidoru. after that I decided to start downloading, mostly english subbed videos all the way from 1997 to 2022. I figured that there are some videos that I couldn't get, because there are 0 seeds and to me that's such a shame, which is one of the reasons I collect them in the first place, so I could see them before they disappear forever.

I am now at 300+ gigabytes and I'd say 80% of it is subbed and the rest that aren't are either really interesting or important kind videos. Now that my collection is getting bigger though still not complete, I just don't know what to do with it since it's taking up so much space. I don't wanna delete any for it might be the last copy of it.

Is anyone else doing this? Is this normal? I feel like I have an addiction.

TBH I wasn't expecting this 😭

According to the official news, Chii-chan will be graduating after this year's Spring tour "Hello!Project 2022 Spring CITY CIRCUIT Morning Musume '22 CONCERT TOUR ~ Never Been Better!~". Her final day as Morning Musume will be JUNE 20TH, at Nippon Budokan.

Her main focus is to learn English by studying abroad, which she was planning since 2021 but couldn't move into action because of covid. It seems like she now has a finalized plan for that, which led to her decision of graduating.

Before YouTube stopped letting me translate comments, I got the impression that even though her fans were excited to see her debut, the general public weren't impressed by her after seeing her live performances.

Several people cited her hair style and stage costume to be boring, especially because she lets her hair cover her face, but people also pointed out that her singing just wasn't good enough to sustain a solo career.

Riho seemed to be struggling to sing live at the end of her time in Morning Musume, and she's still struggling to sing live now. It seems like the health of her voice has actually gotten worse, as her voice was cracking pretty consistently in her Reflection tour. I'm worried that the hype won't be able to sustain her if someone can't help her maintain a healthy singing voice.

Does anyone know what the reception to these performances have been in Japan? Are other people worried about her singing, or still criticizing her image?

I know no one can say anything bad about her dancing. I almost want her to switch to a headset and use auto-tune so she can fully show off what a great dancer she is and not have to be a back dancer for someone to accomplish that.

Name one and suggest me some . if you want you could name a favorite from each album. currently my favorite album song is loving you forever :)

I guess several of the girls have tested positive for covid. Yokoyama, and Fukumura for sure.

Not sure if I’m asking this in the right place, but does anyone know if they ever performed this song with Maki? And if so, preferably in the PV outfits?

Thanks in advance!

i read the japanese wiki of morning musume and it says that japanese fans considers the following as Ace members of the group!

Nacchi Gomaki Rika chan Ai chan Mikitty Sayu Reina Sayashi Maachan

I found this interesting as the japanese media only really consider or know Nacchi, Gomaki, Sayashi and Maachan as Aces.

Sorry to scare those if you thought I was reporting on a graduation announcement! 😅 I just think I totally missed something! I was on Facebook and read something about false rumors about Mizuki being circulated last year and H!P having to come out with a statement. What happened? What did I miss?
