Kue Chans Journey of Discovery - The First of the Second

The second generation is composed of 3 members who joined in 1998 -  a year after MM was formed. The first member i will write about is the first to leave since i dont particularly feel like writing too much today (LAZY!) and i'd rather be in a better mood to write about either yaguchi and yasuda (them being some of the most stand out mm members ever). I didnt actually realise sayaka was ever a part of morning musume since i didnt seem to notice her on any shows i've seen... sad i know.

SAYAKA ICHII or sayarin

Born 31st december 1983, Sayaka Ichii was 15 when she joined morning musume to form the 2nd generation with Yaguchi Mari and Yasuda Kei.

She was placed in a few extra groups being Pucchi Moni/Petit Moni and Aoiro 7 (from hello! project summer shuffle groups) and also recorded a folk album with Yuko from the 1st generation.

In 2000 Sayaka left after their single Happy Summer Wedding (the same year the 4th generation was added to morning musume).

The year following this she formed the group Cubic-Cross for which she wrote 2 of its songs until 2004 when the group separated and Ichii announced her pregnancy and engagement to Cubic-Cross's guitarist, Naoki Yoshizawa.

This is cubic cross (i do love how random this video is) with their song todoke koi no telepathy.

end of story

not much there i'm afraid but i'm sure i'll find plenty on yasuda and yaguchi (yaguchi being one of my mm idols).
