A Hypothetical Question About a Forgotten Winner
In 1997, a man named Teruda Mitsudo (a.k.a. Tsunku) and his buddies from the band Sharam Q held an audition. This audition was a search for a new female vocalist. In the final round of the audition, which was shown on Japanese television program ASAYAN, there were six people. Only one won.
Who would have known that the five losers would be more popular than the winner, Heike Michiyo?
What would happen if Michiyo turned out to be a bigger hit than the other five (now known as Morning Musume)? How many singles would she sell? What would her music style evolve to? Would she release photobooks? Would she have mostly 30-40 year old male wotas for fans, or mainly 15-25 year old women? Would she even be an idol? How many generations would Morning Musume get, and what would Hello!Project be, if it existed? All that, and more…

So, some very nice things have been happening recently. First, congratulations to Iida Kaori! She had her baby boy on January 22nd at 10:45 am, and he weighed 3200 grams. She’ll be a wonderful mom, and I’m sure her husband will make a great father too. We love you Kaorin! <3
In H!P kids happenings, happy 15th birthday to Saki Nakajima! She is my favorite member of C-ute… hope Nakki had a fantastic day. *YAY*

For me, it’s the first time I’ve ever own a blog.
