Kue Chans Journey of Discovery - 2 More Members of the No.1s

Today I will talk about 2 previous members of morning musume from the 1st generation of course. I will talk about 2 because though i searched high and low i know little about either of these girls. I dont think many people do. Asuka Fukuda and Ayay Ishiguro were both introduced as the originals along with the 3 others in this generation (Yuko, Natsumi and Kaori).

ASUKA FUKUDA or asukacchi

Asuka was the youngest of the 1st generation but was also the first to leave in April 1999.  All i know is that she left to continue school and perhaps come back once she had finnished but unfortunatly nothing has been heard from her. From wikipedia i found out that she is currently working at her fathers night club in tokyo where she was born. Fans of hers claim she was the best vocalist MM ever had.


AYA ISHIGURO or ayappe

I have a little more on Aya as she stayed a bit longer then Asuka. She is a singer, writer, TV personality and fashion designer. In MM she was split into Tanpopo with 7 other members. Ishiguro was seen here as a shining performer and found herself very well noticed. She left Morning Musume in January 2000 after Love Machine was released. 4 months later she married the famous Luna Sea member Shinya and in the same year gave birth to a daughter, Rimu.

While looking after her children, now numbering at 3) she would often move into other careers (see 1st paragraph). She wrote 2 books called "Momusu to a Mum" and "Kosodate Purojekuto". She reunited with Tanpopo as well to perform a version of their famous song "tanpopo".


SUMMARY

Well i did tell you i had almost nothing on them ^-^

Maybe this will make up for it; a video of the first generation...
if thats not good enough for you... well... deal!
