Poll 1 Results

Okay so the poll was to pick your favorite former member of C-ute. A total of 42 votes were cast for the three girls but there could only be one winner! And she is~

UMEDA ERIKA!

It wasn't too much of a surprise as she remained the longest and is the only one to actually surface after he departure. Ume received 18 votes (42%), Kanna received 14 (33%), and Megumi received 10 (23%). The order was expected but I am glad that it wasn't a run-away victory as the girls were each separated by 4 votes. Expect an Erika filled picspam soon~!

In the mean time, please vote on the next poll! It will last for a week (the last one was about 10 days) so get your vote in ASAP!

UME FINALLY OPENED A BLOG!
I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY HOPE SOMEONE TRANSLATES IT!

Even though she hasn't posted anything yet and her site hasn't linked the blog yet I am filled with excitement and hope to see at least one post when I wake up in the morning.

YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!

UPDATE!

Ume-chan has finally updated her blog so far she has posted 2 entries!

Her first entry included a photo of herself. YAY!
She also changed her profile avatar
I think she looks good wither way ^^

Also the title of her blog is ment to be Erika Sweet Diary and apparently it was changed to say that but maybe it got changed back? Or my computer just won't show the updated header.

Someone started translating her blog posts here. Someone else may start translating them instead as many people were willing to on the H!O forum. I'll try and keep everybody updated!

UPDATE 2

So apparently my computer is just retarded because I got on another computer and the header showed up just fine.

Also third post! She looks amazing in this picture doesn't she?!

In the post she again thanks everyone for their comments and support. She also talks about her change in hair color being lighter and more mature. As well as her becoming a model. Gambatte Ume! You look amazing no matter what! ^^

Ume's Back!

With a vengeance!

So have you heard? After months of speculation, praying, and false accounts, Umeda Erika has finally made a comeback! The site is here. I am very excited about this as Ume-san was my favorite C-ute member and news of her graduation really saddened me. Ever since Erika's departure and Airi's overtaking of the group I really stated to loose interest.

After graduation on October 3, 2009, everyone wondered what really happened to her and if we would ever see her again. "Modeling" became the new excuse for booting girls out of H!P (i.e. Koharu).

The there was the whole mistaking some look-alike model for Umeda.

False hopes and questions started sprouting on various forums and blogs. She's a good look-alike but the rumor was easily put to rest when the real girl's identity came to light.

From the looks of it, Erika's page was published recently as only 2 of the five tabs are clickable. If you click on profile you can see her height: 170cm (5'6") but we also get a chance to see measurements we don't see on a normal idol profile bust, waist, and hips measurements.

The agency has other models to which Erika is the "new face"



The blog link of Ume's page doesn't work yet but hopefully we can see her open a new blog soon. It seems quite a few models and staff have blogs on the special "Girl's Diary" ameblo page.

Let's also hope for more pictures of the new Umeda to surface soon!

Umeda's Farewell

Umeda Erika graduated from C-ute and Hello! Project exactly 3 months ago. Dohhh Up took this opportunity to upload Umeda's last performance and farewell from the Cutie Jump concert.

I got goose bumps and little teary eyed watching this because she was my most favorite cute and HP kid. It's also kind of sad and funny at the same time that even though this was her last performance she didn't get a single solo line.


Now to help any one who is saddened Wotaku now has "translated" Suzuki Airi's C-ute's very controversial new single

LOLSUBSTIME!




He also included a download link for when youtube removes it
