Haro! Haro! Haro!
Yesterday, it was announced on Hello! Station that Fukuda Kanon will be graduating from ANGERME... That's my group!
Honestly, I am surprised. Maro-san seemed like the happiest and nicest out of all of us, but I guess you don't have to be completely miserable to want to graduate.
Her reason for leaving is very respectable. Maro-san has always had her own dreams, and I think it's great that she is finallly fulfilling them. A role model to us all~
Sometimes... I wish, "Maybe she's just kidding! She'll announce it's a prank at the Budokan! She's just being a brat!", but that's selfish. I don't want to guilt her by saying "Why would you leave us? We need you!", but that's what my heart is screaming out. All of us, we all need each other.
MARO-SAN IS NOT A TRAITOR !!!
But really.... huh, it's amazing. It shows how much time has actually gone by.
Maro-san, you are one of my favorite seniors. You are kind, smart and responsible. You're the one who originated the nickname " 蘭ルン ". You always helped me out when I was the random new member and I wasn't really accepted by most people.
Thank you so much for six years. Now, lets live up to your graduation day with a full smile!

ハロ！ハロ！ハロ！
昨日は、ハローに発表されました！福田花音がANGERME卒業する駅...それは私のグループです！
正直なところ、私は驚いています。麿さんは私たちのすべてのうち最も幸せと素敵なように思えたが、私はあなたが卒業したいのに完全に悲惨である必要はありませんと思います。
残すための彼女の理由は非常に立派です。麿さんは、常に自分の夢を持っていた、と私はそれは彼女が最終的にそれらを果たしていることは素晴らしいことだと思います。私たちのすべてのロールモデル〜
時々...私は "たぶん彼女は冗談だ！彼女はそれが武道館でのいたずらだ発表します！彼女はちょうど！ガキであることだ」、それは利己的ですなあ。私は "！私たちはあなたを必要としますか？なぜあなたは私たちを残して」と言って罪彼女にしたくないが、それは私の心が叫んされているものです。私たちのすべては、私たちのすべてはお互いを必要としています。
麿さんは裏切り者でありません！
しかし、実際に....って、それは驚くべきことです。これは、実際にすることによって行っているどのくらいの時間を示しています。
麿さん、あなたが私の好きな先輩の一つです。あなたは、親切なスマートと責任があります。ニックネーム「蘭ルン」を発信人です。私はランダムな新しいメンバーだったと私は実際にはほとんどの人に受け入れられなかったとき、あなたはいつも私を助けました。
6年間ありがとうございました。今、完全な笑顔であなたの卒業式の日まで生きることができます！

Long Haru LOGiRL Interview 01.27.15 - Translation (FANON)
What were you feeling when you found out you passed the audition?
I was practicing for a Hello! Pro Foreigners concert, and I was called out into the office. The moment I saw Rei Meifei (fellow 9th generation member) there, I knew that it was happening. I had been waiting for my debut since 2013, which really isn't a long time compared to others, but it was relieving that I didn't have to come home doubting myself any longer.
What was your families reaction?
My father is still in China, and my mother was at work, so my inital reaction was to video message my father. When I told him, he just starting crying! That was the first time I saw a grown man, nonetheless my own father, crying.
When I told my mother and my siblings, the first thing on their minds were "celebration!". It really annoyed me because I hadn't even started anything yet.
And your friends reactions?
When I came to school after the announcement, everyone cheered me on, even my teacher. There were a few Happy Jikan fans in my class, so they were the happiest. They wanted me to fill them in on everything, but it's confidential.
When you did start to like Happy Jikan?
I was walking home with my older sister once, and she was blasting this song really loudly out of her earbuds. Later that night, I went through her playlist and fond "Hold On!! - Happy Jikan". The members sounded really good, and once I watched the MV, I was astonished by how beautiful they are. I watched some of their lives, and all of the members shined. That's when I realized that I too, wanted to shine and be in the spotlight as a Happy Jikan member.
Why did you decide you wanted to audition?
I had failed the Eighth generation auditions but I was determined to not give up on myself. My mom gave me a speech about how even winners have to lose every now and then, and that really motivated me.
What was it like performing during the MISS LADYBUG Tour?
It was chaotic for me. I had never performed in big crowds before, so I was afraid of freezing or faiting or messing up. In the end, it all went smoothly.
From now on, what would you like to be called?
Haruppi. Meifei insists Harukki, but I like Haruppi more. It's way cuter.
Do you have a rival within Hello! Project?
My initial rival was Madison. Everyone called her "Perfect-chan" and was in awe of her talent, and then there was just me. I was determined to beat her, to show people I couldn't be shoved in the corner for someone else, and in the end, I finally won. But I'm still rooting her on! Despite our hectic relationship.
Right now my rival is Bui Shun. She's my senpai, but from afar, it looks like performing comes easy to her. I want to beat her in this.
What do you think your character is like in regards to Happy Jikan?
I actually want to develop a Boke character, but I have no one else to play the Tsukkomi character with. It's scary doing it with senpai, and Meifei is too clueless to actually catch on to the joke, lol.
Within the group, what type of personality do you want to show?
I want to show a powerful personality within the group. I want to show the fans and everyone else that no one can get the best of me, despite me crying a total of five times in the auditions alone.
You seem very determined to be number one.
I don't want to be number one! I don't know... Do I? I just want to prove myself worthy of a good position within Happy Jikan.
What is your goal within Happy Jikan?
To become one of the front girls in HaJi. To do this, I will work day and night to polish myself as a great performer and an entertainer.

Mochizuki Nina (CloverSmash! leader, ex-C/olorage) UTB+ Interview (January Issue)
What was graduating from C/olorage like?
It was a huge step for me. When I heard that Saito Kotomi (former S/mileage 1st generation member) was graduating, my initial reaction was "Oh crap, I'm next". Then I was called in to a meeting a few hours after. They gave me a ton of options like being a soloist or an actress, and I declined to all of them. Then Tsunku DM-ed me the day I announced my own graduation, and he was like "Start a new unit!". I thought about it for a moment, but then I finally gave in.
What is it like leading a group?
Well, all three of us CloverSmash! girls are very hyper, so it's actually fun. The two other members are actually very professional, so they're not really a pain in the back. I love watching them improve.
What are your thoughts about Otsuka Karen (fellow CloverSmash! member)?
Otsuka's really awesome! The day I was given the opportunity to pick members, I chose Otsuka right away because she was very lively and is dedicated to the things that she commits herself to. She's very cute too, I envy her.
And Tsgui Elliot (fellow CloverSmash! member)?
Elliot was suggested to me from the Hello! Pro Kenshuusei choreographer. She told me that Elliot had failed the Hello! Pro Kenshuusei audition, but had lots of potential. I watched her audition videos, and I was very impressed with her, so I chose her. Elliot gives off the image of a calm, cute girl in her pictures, but in all reality, she's crazy!
What kind of image do you want CloverSmash! to have?
Well, I don't want us to be known for having a former C/olorage member in the group, that's one. We're much more than that. I want us to be known for our fantastic live shows, which we get mostly positive feedback from. I want us to have a unique image, but that's really hard to find in the Japanese idol world, isn't it?
What do you want the other two members to improve on?
I want Elliot to work on her dancing during lives. She puts out so much energy during practices, but in lives, she's like a zombie! Since it's the three of us, it's very noticeable. With Otsuka, I want her to work on memorization. There's been times during lives where she forgets her lines, and it's a bit frustrating. But I love the both of them regardless of their mistakes.
Your next single is titled "Yogore Hane no Keru / Time WARP!". What are each of them like?
Yogore Hane no Keru! sounds kind of like an old school R&B song. It has some pretty funny lines in it, and I think it's going to be one of those songs that pump out crowds in live shows. Time WARP! is more of a rock song, not a death-metal one nor an idol-y one, but the kind that you'd hear from popular Western artists.
Are there any idol groups that you admire?
Quite a few, yes. But my number one would be the group BiS. Even though they have already disbanded, they gave off the image of "idols in rebellion". They did things that some companies wouldn't dare let their idols do. I want CloverSmash! to have that kind of reputation. But I want it to be a good thing, not a thing people would down on us for like they did BiS.
What's the hardest dance routine you've had to do so far?
Actually, it's TIME WARP! There's actually acrobatics involved in the dance break, which scares me because I don't want anyone getting hurt, even though we all have gymnastics experiences in the past.
What's your favorite idol song of the year 2014?
I actually have three. "Towa no Uta" by Berryz Kobo is my first. Despite being a very fun song, it carries a lot of emotions with it that is mainly dedicated to their fans and themselves.
Second, "FiNAL DANCE" by BiS. The song is very catachy, and the MV just reminisces on most of their past MVs and some of their concerts, which must've been very emotional for the group and their fans.
Third, "Naitemo Iindayo" by Momoiro Clover Z. I don't know, I just love that song.
What would your message be to all JPop Idol fans?
I don't know, other than "Please support CloverSmash!". I'd guess I would like to thank those who have already been supporting us, and hopefully, will continue to support us throughout our career.
