Konno Asami aka Konkon makes her debut

For those who are Konno Asami fans Konkon made her debut after months of trainning to become a T.V. Announcer for T.V. Tokyo. Here is a link to both her Official blog and a English translated version here to catch up on. She went on the air live for the first time yesterday around 12:30 hrs JST in what appeared to be a kids land of sorts. I could see a mini Hospitial, resturant, Police station, etc. with in and made a report on the mini T.V. Tokyo station. I do not know Japanese despite being a fan of the culture, but logic / common sense helps at times. Feel free to interpret the following news posts / video in your own judgement. The following are 4 news posts in reference to her debut Article 1 Article 2 Article 3 Article 4 and a edited video of the afternoons broadcast.

I'm frankly very happy for her. It has been a long 5 years since she left Morning Musume to attend a University in which despite Fan Club or HiP Concert appearances kept a very low quiet profile. I am surprised myself she even started a blog to begin with since to this day she is still a reserved women. Best wishes to her in her new profession. All we have now are the old DVDs to enjoy the days she was on stage melting hearts.

  1. @Kylon I think she has pernamently severed all ties with UFA. I know the saying goes "Never say Never!" I got the impression she closed that chapter of her life & has moved on. Of course she'll keep in touch with the other Gokkie members, but other then that I just don't see her doing anything for / under UFA again.
