Mizuki Fukumura: Young Gangan #13 scans plus new Morning Musume single
This is the true definition of a spur of the moment, quickie post. Was going to take tomorrow off so didn't want to just have one post for today hence this second one but the spread does contain 28 pics. Haven't done any posts for active Hello Project groups for a while, this could be the first of the year. Have kind of soured on them a bit, not talking about the members or songs but management. There's been two June graduations and only because those two popular members hit the age of 25.
The older I get the less I'm interested in very young Idols, Nogi and SKE have shown that having older members keeps your fan base and actually may increase sales. Will have a Juice=Juice post coming up soon as they do have a new single but sadly one of the graduations was with them.
Least Morning Musume hasn't had too many comings and goings within the group but that just may mean there soon will be. The group's newest single is titled "Jinsei Blues" and have the English subbed PV of it at the top. Their sales have remained steady over the years, it was just third on the charts it's first week out but did sell over 100,000 copies. It's a good tune and to me everything from MM is but lately their songs don't stand out like they once did but do recommend listening to it. Above are two of the covers and have two more here.
Mizuki is now the main leader of all of the Hello Project groups due to a graduation. Think it's an honor being the main leader but don't know if the position is all that important. Mizuki will be turning 23 in October which means we may only see her as a MM member for the next 2+ years, know I talk about many other Idols but she's definitely in my top five for current hottest Idols.
Actually if she appeared in more mags or at events she'd have a great chance at being #1. Mizuki has appeared in Young Gangan more than any other mag, wouldn't doubt if she's had twenty spreads with them. But this is her first spread for them this year or for that matter her first solo set of 2019. Let's hope it's the start of a few more and it's been about a year since her last PB was released. On to the stupendous pics and once again Mizuki has the cover of the issue which is dated for July 5th. There's usually a video of the photo shoot but there's not one on YT, will have it in her next post.
