Tsugunaga Momoko Has The Flu (Hello!SayuNii)
Ado reports that Tsugunaga Momoko of Berryz Koubou and Buono! fame has caught the flu. She’ll be missing an event with each of her respective groups due to sickness and is expected back in a week.
Ado isn’t surprised to see her catch a bug, as her she’s had a very busy schedule recently and wouldn’t be surprised if more members came down with something (especially fellow Buono! members, as in addition to Buono!-related events, both Berryz Koubou and C-ute are currently doing their fall tours). I definitely hope that isn’t the case, but this fall season has been terrible for people catching sicknesses. Get well soon, Momoko!!

The flu? influenza (the common one)?

You can add Risako and Maasa (as well as Miyabi) to that list.
Looks like the 10/17 concert will be/has been rescheduled. (I think for 12/30? Couldn’t really tell on the H!O thread post.) Airi will perform in Melon Greeting by herself. (Go Airi!)
Yeesh. We’ve had some of AkB48, Ryo and Yamapi, half of Kanjani8… And that’s only who I follow. I myself have been sick a few times already… This flu season is crazy!

@doinkies: I woke up this morning and saw the update on Hello!SayuNii about Miyabi and all I could do was shake my head. -_-;
@Meyouu: I’m not quite sure. I can’t read Japanese and I haven’t been on the forums recently, and Ado only said “the flu”.
@Ayuchii: That’s insane! 4 out of 7 Berryz are down. o_O Also, Risako and Miyabi had been sick in April, resulting in the rescheduling of one of their Spring concerts. That’s sickness #2 for them. For some reason, I feel like Maasa was sick earlier this year too, but I’m not positive about that one. And I’ve definitely noticed a lot of people from other groups as well as solo artists have been getting sick as well. Personally, I’ve been sick 3 times since June (I’m hoping that I’ve hit my quota of sickness for the year). It’s insane!
