[sayu1991]

Woah. I really hope that she made a better choice of partners this time around.

[JPope]

Oh ffs, Kago. It hasn't even been a year-and-a-half since her divorce and she's getting married again? Let me guess; he's a bad boy with an unstable history and a penchant for mistreating women. I hope I'm wrong, but I bet I'm not.

[kitaoji]

He's a 38 year old businessman in beauty/skin care/etc.  The term is extremely vague, so I have no idea if it falls under care products or salons or pedicure experiences.  

[JoshuaJSlone]

That's not the way to get into Datsumo Musume, Kago!

Someone on H!O translated:


To mass media


I'm deeply grateful for your support since the past times.


Concerning my personal affairs, I inform you that family register documents were submitted yesterday.

Husband is 38 years old and it's the first marriage for him. He is in management position in a company that is related to beauty industry. He is an ordinary person. The most happy thing is that my daughter loves him with deep affection.


This time I hope to build a cheerful, enjoyable and calm family, consulting with husband on every matter.


And with unchanging devotion I will continue my activities as a singer and actress.

I will be happy if you will gently watch over me.


From now on, please treat me favourably.


Yours sincerelly,

2016.8.8 Kago Ai

On another note, Tsubaki Factory finally got an own YouTube channel.
 
Guess UF didn't want others to upload their MVs. So far, there's only the most recent MV on their channel, though, the one for Hitorijime.

Is she married?

[Anderei]

She's been married for a few years now.

[Purin-chama]

Sakura and Otome Gumi have been revived in concert at least! I would have switched a few of the girls. Haruka I would've put in Sakura. Ayumi more in Otome. Maria's energy better suits Otome, but I can see her in both. Visually, Otome reminds me a lot of the original girls.

Same setlist today but with DJ Sakura for the 1st live !

If anyone is interested, if I remember correctly, Akane got Sayu's parts, Masaki got Nono's, Duu got Reina's (<3), Erina got Miki's, Haachin got Makoto's and Harunan got Kaorin's.

And Duu got Koharu's line in Mikan !

Haachin hopefully got really few lines, she's still quite bad. But I must admit : I don't find her pretty on photos but she looks great in "real life".

Also we got Fukuhime and Maachan's "Aisaretai"


Other random comments :

Sakura, Fukuhime (and Duu) are really great performers and sounded great (Duu sounded better than on her last recording we saw/heard. Still a bit nasally at times but nowhere near the recording I'm referring to). Erina seems more and more bored than "cool". She was pretty though (and said she was especially happy to see many female fans !). Masaki was in a good day so good singing and having fun. I hope Miki will get more lines than Ayumi in next singles because she became a (really) stable singer while Ayumi sounded ok only on upbeat songs. I was happy to see audience was almost 1/3 girls (I'd say between 1/4 and 1/3). Haachin seems to be (really?) popular (she may be less popular than Maria but she had a lot more female fans). Duu and Fukuhime were the most popular. I was surprised to see many people with a Harunan shirt (and her daily photos sold out before the concert, like Maria's and Duu's). And happily surprised to see that Sakura is getting more popular !

END


3 hours and 10 minutes, in which 2 hours of Buono! on top level. They were all 3 great but I'm bias toward Airi, she was really amazing. I'm pretty confident saying at least 70% of the arena was green during Buono!'s songs (and pretty sure almost 90% during the first song(s?)).

[TicTacAnyone]

Take-chan (as a host), Murotan, Kamiko and Kassa were on "Dete Mitai?" for a good hour and a half!! Great exposure.

I think you meant to put this in the spam thread. They're both so terrible lol but at least Ayumi didn't sound like she was dying. Maybe because she's barely moving.

A major debut anniversary and not even all of the members are going to be there?

[sayu1991]

They had their "major debut" almost a year ago and yet they're still forced to do kenshuusei shit? What a joke. Get it together HP!
