Hello!News Network :: 2017 Edition

Most idol blogs aren't exactly high quality content. I don't really see anything that would make management be concerned. They do regulate the blogs, though.

[DonJuan]

Then I really don't know why they did that. There were 2 or 3 posts where she talked about her siblings and one post with an uncensored face, no reason to delete more than that.

[Shoujo Q]

Considering Masaki's blog posts, perhaps she used some sort of slang that the company deemed inappropriate or they goofed. Have any of the other 10ki said anything?

[Anderei]

One time someone posted their blog post with the message they sent to management asking for them to approve it. That's how closely they watch the blogs. They would have caught that (although after years of having the blog I find that scenario to not be plausible) and wouldn't have deleted weeks worth of stuff in respnose.

[TicTacAnyone]

I kept seeing her see "arinsu" but idk if she's been saying that in her blogs for a while or not. That just stuck out to me.
 
 
Seems her last blog post was about answering fans questions on ZDA and her saying she'd answer anything as long as it was appropriate/within reason, for if it wasn't she'd get scolded by the staff.
 
But I don't see how that's worthy of deleting 2 weeks of blog posts? That's what confuses me... If she had 1 or 2 questions posts (which, it's Maa-chan, when doesn't she?) wouldn't you just delete those? Especially for a member who's been on hiatus and blog posts are the only way the fans get to interact with her nowadays?

**Update
 
It looks like Maa-chan's blog has been restored sans March 5th

[DonJuan]

I bet someone deleted them by accident haha.

[yuzuriha]

Oh man I wonder what she wrote about on March 5th that made them delete everything else by accident.

[Zoe]

It must have been the unofficial Q&A post.

[TicTacAnyone]

Maa-chan safely returned to the stage today. The Inspiration goods/photos are right up my alley... Very pink, girly and screams spring. The new penlight is out, though it's very basic.
 
 
It seems Maa-chan herself accidentally deleted her blogs, as said on her most recent post. That still seems odd but whatever. Maybe she wanted to hype up her comeback, lol.. 

[Shoujo Q]

You're basic! 

 
Just kidding. I always wanted to say that to someone. 
 
 
Also, I want something with the girls in these outfits, they are so flippin' cute.

[momoirosaya]

She might have been trying to categorize them and accidentally pressed delete. Accidents happen.

RUDE.
 
Jk. I do like that the penlight is almost 3-D, though. That's kinda cool. I wanna see what Yokoyama's light looks like in the dark.

[DonJuan]

From the preview it looks pretty golden. 
 

 
But who knows what it looks like on a non-commercial image.

12th gens radio show is ending. I expect them to merge into the 9/10/11ki radio show and have 13ki take their slot for a couple years until some more new girls come around.

[TicTacAnyone]

For those who didn't know, both Wada Ayaka and Suzuki Airi graduated from their colleges this month.
 
Still crazy to me how anyone can balance college and being a full-time idol.

Japanese colleges are notoriously easy...

[Purin-chama]

Airi and Momoko especially impressed me since not only did they have work with their respective groups, but also a lot of solo work. Made me wonder how either had any time to do anything school related.

I've heard this before and it always surprised me. Someone told me of you made it into one you're pretty much good to go.

[TicTacAnyone]

That's right, I forgot about how "easy" college is. I've also heard you're pretty much guaranteed to graduate once you get enrolled, lol. How nice that must be Q_Q

[Anderei]

It feels like the opposite of here lol. It's easy to get in and then they spend years trying to weed over half of the major out.

[Zoe]

I'm sure there actually are rigorous programs out there, but for most people it's 4 years of relaxation in between the stress of entrance exams and then the rest of your life slaving away as a salaryman.

[TicTacAnyone]

The Satoyama and Satoumi event is currently being livestreamed here

[Anderei]

I posted in the spam thread about how 12th gen's radio show was over and predicted it would be replaced with a 13th gen show, with 12th gen moving to the 9/10/11 show.
 
I was wrong. BUT ALSO CLOSE.
 
12th gen and 13th gen will be having a radio show called Morning Musume '17 no Morning Diary on Fuji FM. Lasts from 8-8:56 PM on Thursdays. 
 
I expect it to only last this year because the post specifically mentions it's a time slot for idol groups, so it'll probably rotate to someone else come 2018.

Also, Morito Chisaki is going to be a regular on a local Tochigi show about Tochigi and travel.
 

 
This too large picture leads me to believe it will be THRILLING.

[TicTacAnyone]

Nakky's grandmother passed away on March 30th in her sleep. Saki just wrote a blog post on it... seems she got to see her one last time on the 29th in the hospital before she passed.


Poor girl.

[TicTacAnyone]

Kobushi will have a new single coming out in June... No more details than that so I didn't feel it deserved a thread quite yet. We'll make one when we at least get a release date or title, lol.
 
My little babies will finally have a single again Q_Q I'm so happy

[DonJuan]
