When I thought every scandal is all over....

I was hoping that there will be no more news like this, but I was wrong. Yesterday came in another breaking news in the Hello! Project world. Newly-succeeded Morning Musume (モーニング娘。) leader Fujimoto Miki (藤本美貴) has suddenly resigned from the band itself after FRIDAY Weekly (not this mag again -_-") has reported her to be dating with Shouji Tomoharu (庄司智春), who is part of comedy duo Shinagawa Shouji (品川庄司, しながわしょうじ）. The unexpected departure of Fujimoto Miki has shocked many of us, including myself, as history repeats itself again when then leader Yaguchi Mari (矢口真里) quits Morning Musume suddenly 3 years ago when she was revealed to be in love with actor Oguri Shun (小栗旬); however in which both seem to have broken up. Fujimoto herself confirmed that the story is true in a radio interview within days of the story breaking. As a result, on June 1st, Fujimoto, following in the footsteps of Yaguchi Mari, quit Morning Musume. It was said that she resigned because she has broken one of the rules and have set a bad example to other members. She will remain in H!P as a solo artist, presumably continuing her activities with GAM. I'm still not sure what her future in H!P will be like.

Since her unexpected departure, newly-succeeded sub-leader Takahashi Ai (高橋愛) has taken her place as leader (whooo yes!!!!) and Niigaki Risa (新垣里沙) fills in as sub-leader.

Man, I gotta tell you. It's always FRIDAY magazine that caused all this crap to happen. Like I said, STOP BUYING FRIDAY!! Miki was only leader for less than a month and she suddenly quits! Look what terrible fate FRIDAY has bring to her!
