Get to know the 9th Generation of Morning Musume

It has nearly been two months all ready since the 9th Gen. joined, wow where does the time go! I realized I don't know a thing about them & sense I care about the soul / personality then physical beauty I went out of curiosity to see if any one had complied something on the new members & sure enough someone did so. Disclaimer: There is no way I can independently verify the information presented thus one must take such with some scepticism.

So first a closer look at Fukumura Mizuki 譜久村聖

Some were disapointed that Tsunku-san added an Hello!Porject Egg member to the group. In which makes no sense to me why some would think in this way for what is the point in having them to begin with? I'm surprised some have not been added to C-ute in my opinion. Sadly there are a number of them in or reaching thier late teens & with a culture obsessed with youth the remaining Eggs may find no place among the exsisting groups. Time will tell.

I myself am happy for her being added & was disapointed that my favorite Egg member Saho Akari wasn't, but better then nothing.

Points of interest for me. One, she's a wota of the very group she now finds herself apart as Niigaki Risa was when she joined being a big fan of Abe Natsumi. I feel this is a great part of her persona for it keeps her grounded & humble like Takahashi Ai. There have been times when the reality of her dream hits her & has been emotional at times. Understandable. 

Two, her "motto" is her faith in others. Something I lack for I've lost my faith in my fellow man ( too much Fox News / following Politics ). She is an inspiration to me.

Third, "She seems to be getting attached to Mitsui Aika". I can not think of a better Senpai for her. Aika-chan has such a pure heart & shouldn't be leaving MM anytime soon.

And now a closer look at Ikuta Erina 生田衣梨奈 

Quickly becoming the least popular member because her facial looks aren't good enough & being reserved doesn't help. Much like Konno Asami suffered till she became well endowed. Men! So hollow & simple minded. Yes I know I'm one thank you very much, I strive to be a honorable good man.

Points of interest for me. One, though there is no replacement for Kamei Eri she does have simularities in her persona when Eri-chan joined. Shy & "sleeping" as a favorite hobby & can "sleep anywhere"? MM seems to have a new "turtle" among them.

Two, I feel she will be the backbone of the 9th Gen. simply by observing her behavior. What she lacks in beauty by some peoples opinion in mine she more then makes up for it spiritualy. She has potencial to develop a pure heart as Konkon, Linlin & Aika have before her. If she continues to be ignored I'll be more then happy to be her sole American fan 8)>

And now a closer look at Sayashi Riho 鞘師里保

Clearly full of so much potencial & promise. Her previous experience obviously shows and seriously I'm looking forward to the upcoming Spring tour ( in which I feel is way to soon putting them all under excessive stress / pressure ). A late Summer tour would of been more idea.

Points of interest for me. One, her unbelieveable level of confidence.

Two, and who does she choose to look up to? None other then Ai-chan herself. Of course we all know she will be leaving us soon in which is the sad part. I'd of liked for her to grown under her leadership & can only hope she can learn from Ai-chan in what time that there is, though Risa the last member of the "golden era" will be there for her 8)

And now a closer look at Suzuki Kanon 鈴木香音



Credited for reminding the fans of Ogawa Makoto when she joined being energetic, extroverted & chatty I find her some what annoying, but nothing on the level of Kasumi Kohura ( no offense ) in which I just couldn't stand *laughing*. I'm sure she will surprise me over the years & I might just eat my words ( like anyone will remind me ) in time.

Points of interest for me, one being clearly the weakest member ( dancing ) her looking to Sayashi Riho will only improve her skills & like Konkon before her I am looking forward to see that progress.

Two, the further similaities to Mako-chan of "she wants to learn foreign languages and travel around the world" 8)

So who do you think who among these four is my favorite member? The only hint you get is "not who you first think of or the obvious choice". Anyhoo enjoy reading about them & time we will tell if the information provided is acurate.
