Well, she left because she wanted to become a model, so this was to be expected.

But why are they using a picture of Yurina?

Re: Former C-ute member Umeda Erika resurfaces!
This new mature look sure is pretty cool. I also get the "Wow! fresh start" feeling like when I saw Goto's first photos with avex. Good luck, Eri. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

You better get your eyes checked, because Yurina is actually a good looking girl who doesn't have a weird face.

Re: Former C-ute member Umeda Erika resurfaces!
Awesome, I'm glad she didn't totally fail and drop off the face of the earth like most aspiring models. At least she has a fairly professional looking site dedicated to her rather than just a headshot within a sea of other headshots. That's a decent start. She looks great in these pictures too, probably better than she did while in C-ute.

I thought it was Miyabi at first glance but I'm loving the photos. Different but still Erika. Does anyone know anything about that agency? They have a cute site but I don't know anyone of the models besides Eri...

ERIKAAAAAAA YAAAAAAAAYYYYY
She actually did it and didn't just use modeling as an excuse to disappear! She looks great! I hope she actually gets somewhere. Her graduation concert and ceremony were amazing. She looked like she really loved what she was doing. ;_; I'm so glad that she's actually doing this and not lying about everything.

Re: Former C-ute member Umeda Erika resurfaces!
She's so beautiful <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> I'm just sad she didn't get to shine this much while she was in C-ute
Re: Former C-ute member Umeda Erika resurfaces!
Wow, she really is gorgeous. C-ute didn't really let her shine so I guess I'm only now seeing the awesomeness that Erika possesses.

I saw the glimmer of awesomeness in C-ute and thought I'd never get to see it when she left. Good for her, hope she gets tons of gigs.

Re: Former C-ute member Umeda Erika resurfaces!
Ditto to all the nice things people have said about the pictures. I'm very happy for Erika. I hope she does well.
Re: Former C-ute member Umeda Erika resurfaces!
WHOA makeup and styling are amazing things. Erika looks great but she also looks like a totally unrecognizable person! I prefer this look on her. Conversely, I like Sayumi's style in MM and disliked how she was made up in a magazine modeling gig.
Given how different many idols look vis-a-vis certain mainstream fashion trends, I wonder if they'd be differently successful if they tried these new looks. Isn't that how Tsuji sort of solidified her post-H!P fame?

I am really happy that we see her doing something after her graduation!! Congrats to her!!! I hope she gets in some mags soon =]
Re: Former C-ute member Umeda Erika resurfaces!
Last night I watched the C-ute concert featuring Erika's graduation. I was surprised at what an emotional spectacle it was. Granted, it was the first time I'd seen any of these girls cry--at all--and they ALL cried. And it was the first time I'd seen any of the younger girls graduate, aside from Erina's graduation from Ongaku Gatas.
Even though they put the girls in street clothes for the graduation, after four great costume changes earlier in the show, they really let the goodbyes go on a long time. It was quite moving and touching, actually. Even Airi, whom I see as the most polished and unflappable of this group, shed plenty of tears. Maimi and Maimai were the most emotional. Erika and Kanna were never my favorites in the group, but that's only because the five others were always my favorites, not that I didn't like Erika and Kanna, I just liked the others more. I'm still gonna miss Erika. She was an integral part of H!P Kids in their early years. But I think she's making a good move and I hope she succeeds.

Wow, the graphics on that banner are pretty terrible. SWEET DIALY. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> They didn't choose the most flattering shot for her profile picture, but at least they picked a great one for the main banner. Despite the choco-poo all over it. But yay for her having a blog, it'll be nice to be able to see what she's up to.

Did it really say Dialy? They must've fixed that very quickly.
I really do like the solo-model Erika. She always looked out of place to me in C-ute group shots. She even looks good in that first non-headshot style blog photo (although still heavily make-upped of course)

Re: Former C-ute member Umeda Erika resurfaces!
So basically... she put on more eye make-up and kept her mouth shut so you can't see her crooked teeth, and there you go! INSTA-MODEL. You go girl!
I'm kidding, of course. I always liked her, and escaping from the H!P stylist's clutches has done a number on her style, as you can tell from the selcas. She finally gets to wear appropriate amounts of make-up and pick flattering hairstyles. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Re: Former C-ute member Umeda Erika resurfaces!
I'm also amazed at Kanna's and Erika's proximity... I'd expect Maimi popping up before Kanna. Even Maimai! But maybe they can't because they are from a different agency? Nah, that doesn't make sense.
Oh, and I love that color on her hair. I wonder what number that is. Now Kanna looks like she's just got back to her Egg days...
