Poor Tom, he has been having some tough idol luck lately…

First he loses his beloved Erika, now Koharu.  At this point Tom is probably sending a few good luck prayers Chinami’s way.  One thing that concerns him is the “suddenness” of this announcement.  And I must agree, it just seems like a random graduation choice at a random time.  Koharu just did another PB and photobook, not to mention MoMusu’s 2010 calendar that she will be featured in (unless there is some major editing going on as we speak).  It makes me wonder if something happened to cause this graduation announcement.

Continuing that thought, Morningtime wonders if she “jumped”, or was “pushed” into this.  Or maybe a little bit of both.  For him he is at least thankful it wasn’t Takitty.  And he brings up another important point…Modeling isn’t going to be the best avenue to showcase her unique personality.  He is hoping for Koharu to have a continued television presence.

Arche-JoIyO is also majorly shocked by this news, and wishes it was just about any other member of the group instead of Koharu.  This graduation leaves no members left for AJ to care about.  The post ending with the tell-tale “Good-bye MoMusu”

Max came out of his blogging coma (actually, a few other writers did too) because he feels this is the most personally affecting graduation for him since he started following J-pop.  He loved Koharu’s personality, and felt a personal connection due to his proximity in age.  At the same time he is excited to experience his first MoMusu graduation since he became a fan.  I guess that’s one way to look at it!

For SHG, she feels Koharu is attractive enough to pull off the modeling career, although she may be lacking slightly in the height department.  She will miss the charisma Koha adds to the group, and has a prediction on who will be the next to depart.

Part 3 on the way…
