Smile!

Smile ...

I poured out my sorrow and bitterness to my close friend about Koharu's imminent graduation and the dreaded "countdown" before she retires as a Morning Musume member permanently.I was almost into tears when speaking at times; all the frustration and confusion accumulated from yesterday was at once confessed out with no restriction.I just wanted to close my teary eyes at times to let the teardrops flow,hoping that the warm fluid can liven up my mood.Although my friend listened to me patiently and gave lots of paths which I can take to go through this grueling period ... nothing really interested me,or rather none of them was applicable at the moment seeing how hard I took this issue.Then my friend said something out of the blue ...

"She won't want her fans to just die out on her and the group just because she's leaving ... smile."

Smile .
Smile ..
Smile ...

Then it hits me.

This concert which will be the final concert for Koharu is named "Nine Smile".

And Koharu's personality is a genki,carefree person who's almost always maintain her smile whatever the conditions are.

Yes ... I should smile ...

This tour is named "Nine Smile".Not "Nine Frown".Fitting enough as a farewell concert for the member of Momosu who's always smiling.



So let's smile!!!And enjoy every precious day till her graduation.For when that happens,this current formation of 9 people'll never be the same.

SMILE!

On a side note, previous Momosu members Iida Kaori and Ogawa Makoto mentioned about Koha's graduation notice on their blogs.

Apparently both of them gave Koha their blessings, with Kaorin noting how long and slender Koha's limbs and fingers are and having the perfect body to pursue modelling.

Makoto's one was short though, just saying how cool it is that Koha has finally found her goal and is chasing it.

Seeing that 2 graduated members both said "おめでとう" (Congratulations) rather than feeling sad and shocked like the many many H!P fans out there ... maybe graduation isn't as bad as it seems to be.Well of course that's provided if Koha still stays active in the entertainment industry,whether it'll be music or modelling.If she decides to just ... disappear and try to live life as a typical Japanese woman then there's really nothing that can be said or done.
