Morning Musume Fall Concert Tour “Nine Smile” (Post #355) (Hello!Online Forums)
Kusumi Koharu to Graduate (Hello!SayuNii)
At the first performance of Morning Musume’s 2009 fall tour Nine Smile (which just finished), a shocking announcement was made regarding Koharu’s graduation from not only Morning Musume but Hello!Project as a whole. Fan reports say that a message from Tsunku was played during the encore. Many people, including myself, had been following the setlist as it appeared on 2ch and other sites, probably not expecting anything like this. I admit that I had to cover my mouth from screaming. I don’t think many fans will be smiling along with Morning Musume for this tour.
Regardless, I wish Koharu the best in whatever it is she plans to do after this.

I thought this was a joke, and was like “huh, I wonder why wendy’s joking around”
BUT IT ISN’T A JOKE
WOW

Modelling is like the new vogue reason for graduating now. Linda Evangelista won’t get out of bed for less than $10,000. This is just another way of saying you don’t want to work anymore.

kind of cool news. my 2nd fave MM girl has had enough silly dancing and singing in bizarre costumes. And hey, she is soon FREE! This is not time for crying.

AWESOME. The most entertaining one leaves, and I’m with zush on this. Now, all that is left is for the others to graduate and let the MM thing go. it’s been like carrying a dead fish around for the last two years.
Be free Koha. Play Volleyball.

…and zush puts it in perspective. Thanks, zush, that actually cheered me up a bit.

All you delinquents out there who played off Koharu are responsible for this.
She is still a minor. How do you think her parents are enjoying your jokes?
There is a culture of respect in Japan that you do not understand. Your comments about Koharu and drugs were insulting. They reacted by removing her from the situation.
You know who you are.
