Noto Arisa & Sawada Yuri graduate from H!P Eggs
Noto Arisa is graduating from H!P Eggs to Up Front Eggs on September 23rd, and Sawada Yuri is graduating to focus on her studies on August 30th.
There's a lot of graduations this year. First there was SI*NA, and then Kaede from The Possible (but okay, they're part of TNX so she doesn't really count), then the loss of Kanna and Erika from C-ute, and now Ongaku Gatas loses another member.
The info page at least explains the difference between the H!P Eggs and the UF Eggs, at least. H!P Eggs are the ones planning to debut within H!P (more of the traditional singing-idol kind?) and the UF eggs focus more on being tarento and actresses.
So I guess Ongaku Gatas is becoming less and less of a unit, huh? In terms of actual Eggs in Ongaku Gatas, that leaves just Korenaga Miki, Noto Arisa, and Sengoku Minami. Of all 6 eggs that started, Sawada never seemed to do anything. It's good to see that she's moving on. I'm wondering what's going to happen to the "only" H!P Egg - Sengoku. She had a pretty important role in the Berryz Kobo play last year, but I don't follow the H!P Egg concerts so I have no idea what she's doing.
Noto Arisa, however, seems to be making good progress, since she's UFA's anime otaku girl and does cover songs with Happy!Style. I hope she continues with those. UFA's been really piling it on the anime realm lately.

Re: Noto Arisa & Sawada Yuri graduate from H!P Eggs
Just being nitpicky, but THE Possible are under NICE GIRL! Project, not TNX.they're part of TNX
Still, this sucks. I liked Sawada.
Not much, from what I can tell. She's just sort of.. there, as far as Eggs go.so I have no idea what she's doing.
Nakyama Nana isn't important enough to get her name mentioned? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whatthe:' />First there was SI*NA,

Okay wait, I missed these. What happened there?
UF eggs focus more on being tarento and actresses.
Well Noto better start being in a lot of plays then. The eggs have basically no television exposure, so I can't see her stepping into the tarento life of other UFA H!P graduates like Mai, Mari, and Tsuji. Although Mai seemed to just sort of appear on the variety circuit without Country Musume ever having been that well known.
So I guess Ongaku Gatas is becoming less and less of a unit, huh?
I was under the impression that Ongaku Gatas ended with the mass elder club graduation, since they had a fairly steady release/concert schedule until then, and now seem to have vanished. Does the team even still play futsal?

Re: Noto Arisa & Sawada Yuri graduate from H!P Eggs
Noto was getting a bit too "old" to be an H!P Egg. (Get her out quick, she's not a teenager! That's supposed to mean automatic expulsion, we're supposed to be monitoring their ages, people!) I'd complain about how this affects Ongaku Gatas, but they haven't really existed for a year anyway. I guess they never had a real disbandment, but they sure haven't done anything since Elder Club ended.
Noto was in a couple of plays this year. And she gets more exposure than the other Eggs did, but that does need to increase.

What's the first thing you do when you return home after a concert?

Re: Noto Arisa & Sawada Yuri graduate from H!P Eggs
To be more nitpicky, I thought they counted as both, like how MM is part of H!P, but also UFA, since it's the company in charge of their releases.Just being nitpicky, but THE Possible are under NICE GIRL! Project, not TNX.they're part of TNX
Is NICE GIRL! Project anything more than just a title to bunch up [The Possible, Canary Club & etc] to distinguish them from other TNX acts?
It seems that almost all "current" TNX girl acts are a part of NG!P.
(except S/mileage, which is some H!P stepsister or something even though they don't even appear on the H!P website.)
They still have TNX on all of their release info as their company. How are they not TNX?

Yes, at least the main Gatas team does.

Re: Noto Arisa & Sawada Yuri graduate from H!P Eggs
My first impressions of them when Narihajimeta came out were that Noto was annoying as hell and Sawada had some knockout potential - and then we barely ever saw her again <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/doh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lesson:' /> These are both pretty reasonable graduations, makes sense for them to move on in one way or another. I didn't even really realize that Ongaku Gatas still existed as a unit after the mass H!P exodus.
Speaking of futsal, one thing I miss is getting the hours and hours of Sphere League coverage that got uploaded in mid 2006 or so. I really enjoyed watching those. I should dig those DVDs back up...

I think it exists just about as much as Coconuts Musume existed after AYAKA's name. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lesson:' />

Re: Noto Arisa & Sawada Yuri graduate from H!P Eggs
Never heard of sawada yuri before this news, thus, I don't care.
Just another egg "rolling away".
However, I saw a huge load of Noto Arisa pictures on picboards, she seemed rather popular and also seemed like a nice person from the Doga Doga 7 video I saw. I would have liked to saw more of her.
Oh and she totally doesn't look like 20 to me, more like 16, which always was kinda weird to me.

Travel back in time through the haze of memories that aren't your own
and melodies frozen in a particular place in history..
If you say run, I'll run with you
If you say hide, we'll hide
