I'm sooooo sorry. I haven't written this blog for such a long time but i got caught up with school and such... as usual. Anyway, its holidays now so i have plenty of time to write my last few entries on the members. After their profiles i plan on taking it easy and writing articles on carious jpop happenings! Yay. I can't wait.
MAKOTO OGAWA or makocchan
Makoto Ogawa is no longer a part of our beloved morning musume unlike Niigaki and Takahashi also of the 5th Generation - She is currently studying english (as far as we know) in my home country, New Zealand. Too bad i haven't had the chance to get her autograph, NZ isn't as small as you may think.
Makoto was born on the 29th of October 1987 in Kashiwazaki, Niigata, Japan. She auditioned for the 2001 Love Audition 21. She breezed through the auditions according to comments from Tsunku where he named her as a greatly skilled danced and shining performer. This could be attributed to her pre-mm experiences at the entertainment school Apple Little Performers (ALP) in Niigata. She had already released a CD prior to joining mm in support of the Albirex Niigata soccer team. She had also done a small amount of advertising and modelling but as to the rules of MM auditions she was not attached to any other company.
Ogawa was often partnered up with Asami Konno (see below) but was most known for her ongoing "relationship" with Yoshizawa Hitomi of the 4th Generation. These two acted like a comedy pair often referring to their suspect activities which seemed most likened to a married couple. They were also combined in the Hello! Morning theatre skits.
Ogawa was placed in several side groups like most other mm members - Salt5, Otomi Gumi, Petitmoni (with yossui although they didn't get to release their own single) and was also a member of Gatas Brilliantes and the Metro Rabbits.
Ogawa graduated on August the 27th at the last performance of the 2006 musical performed by mm and friends, Ribon no Kishi.
Currently most dedicated fans are eagerly awaiting her return to H!P as a solo artist as her profile on the H!P website remains untouched and with no details as to when or how she will make a come back. I know i can't wait to see what she has to offer as a solo artist.
KONNO ASAMI or konkon
Much like my return to this blog Konno has just returned to H!P to perform for Gatas Brilliantes in their newly formed group Ongaku Gatas. She has also performed recently for the H!P programme Uta Doki where old songs are sung by various H!P artists. In this she has proven her standing as a singer in her own right, not just as a mm member (well atleast i think so).
Most came to know Konno as the spaced out, quiet and intelligent member of morning musume especially after the Mecha-Mecha Iketeru programme where all of Morning Musume took high school exams. Konkon ended up in first place ahead of her seniors like 1st generation Kaori and 2nd gen Yaguchi.
Konno has been a part of many extra-H!P-curricular events and groups such as her placing as the lead role in the mm annual play Morning Town. She was placed in Tanpopo with Niigaki in which they released only one single which i suppose is slightly better off then the at the time newly formed Pucchimoni. She also became an active member of country musume for 3 singles along with Miki Fujimoto of the 6th Gen. In 2003 she became an original member of the H!P Gatas Brilliantes soccer team where she and Tsuji Nozomi of the 4th Gen played as goalies.
Konno decided to graduate in order to focus more on her university studies which is before she was accepted at one of Japans highest standing private universities, Keio University. On July 23 2006 Konno graduated from Morning Musume. However less then a year later (June 18 2007) H!P announced that Asami Konno would be rejoining H!P to help out Gatas Brilliantes in Ongaku Gatas. It seems that she has found a way to manage both a difficult study load and the pressure of being a idol.
My last statement on Asami has to be that people need to stop saying that konno has a "weak" voice. She has over the years crafted her voice into a unique and outstanding tone which people should appreciate more (my sources were thoroughly annoying me with that!).
Yomako moment ^-^
