XxCyanexX Blog: A Happy 28th Birthday to Yaguchi Mari 矢口真里

Formerly of Morning Musume she joined as a member of the 2nd Generation along with Ichii Sayaka & Yasuda Kei http://goo.gl/hviYM. The producer Tsunku-san took a gamble & did something no one before had ever done by adding new members to a all ready established group. The risk payed off. The group won "Best new artist" by the Japan Record Awards along with there first live concert. Mari-san may not of been the original five, but no one can argue that she was not thier in the beginning & helped bring the group along with the others to the main stream. Before I might add Goto Maki in which most attribute brought about the " golden era ".

Mari-san is a giddy & emotional character. Having a blonde stereotype persona & always giggling or laughing through the day. However for those who have taken her for granted by either being rude or bullying her will pay the price very quickly. This little devil ( 4 feet 7 inches or 145 cm ) will not take such behavior by standing up for herself & matching your level of threat with her unbreakable will. Considered a mood maker within the group & loved by her seniors especially the first leader Nakazawa Yuko.

As great of a person that she is we forget our idols are human & like such can give in to temptation. This group is that of idols & being such its active members are not permited to be in a realationship. It was discovered that she was in one & took it upon herself to resign from Morning Musume. However the reason why I have such respect for her is instead of just quiting all together she fought back tooth & nail to regained her honor. To this day she is loved & respected by her peers. Mari-san has since moved on to being an Actress, singer, T.V. host / personality & sucessful commercial promotions.
