Hello! Project Photobooks

[resop2]

Makoto taught young Chisato how to forage in the Tokyo Parks to gather greens to keep her family from starving.

Gee UF*, not only has Riho gotten a photobook release on 8/27 last year, she's getting another one this year? And to top it off the Morning Musume. 9ki 10ki 1st Official Photobook is getting released two weeks after that. It should be renamed "Morning Musume. 9ki 10ki 1st Official Photobook for Everyone but Riho 'Cause She Already Has Two".

Not that I dislike Riho, she's easily one of my favorites... I just feel like in some shady alleyway the rest of 9ki is probably performing voodoo on a Riho-doll (p.s. wouldn't that be cute, a photobook called Riho-Doll a la Sayuminglandoll?) plotting her demise.

Not that I dislike Riho, she's easily one of my favorites...

Oh boy!
If I had a nickel every time I heard this when someone started talking about Riho.

[koregaboku]

But it's true!!!!

The fact that she's a lead/center/pretty much amazing doesn't bother me. I love me some RihoRiho and I was pissed that she didn't make it into the HP!S finals...

But the fact that Aika got ONE and the pandas none kinda irks me. It's really obvious that not everyone is equal in any idol group and that can't be helped and I just feel bad for the girls who get pushed to the side like the 8th gen, Zukki, and lately Harunan even though I kinda like dislike Harunan. It's hard to dislike someone when you feel sorry for them.


Which btw, if anyone deserves a PB it's Harunan 'cause girl is ridiculously photogenic. I keep saying... UF* should pull whatever strings they have and have her do fashion work alongside Koharu.

H!P or UFA or whoever that's in charge never evenly giving the girls photobooks shooting and they probably will never be. The aces will get more, the girls that sell well will get more. been like this since 1st gen. How many solo photobooks does Nacchi have now? 5? 6?? Mari got 3? 4? Yoko got 1 and Iida got 1?2?
so yeah, we'll be seeing lots of Riho in photobooks in the future.

edit:

So she's related to Ogawa Makoto, then?

hahaha! this is just so funny and so nostalgic

[koregaboku]

True.
But it still doesn't stop me from pitying some of the girls

[randompasserby]

^ Chisato comes from a really poor family. Don't make fun of her inability to afford pants.

Not quite what i have in mind but yeah okbut hey at least she doesn't have triplets for brothers
^
^
I believe the girls have some say in this too...iirc that was the case for yossie makoto and miyabi
At any rate it's not a zero-sum game where one girl having pbs meant the others have less chance of getting one. I'll take more of sayu/reina/riho pbs lol
.....still waiting for fukuhime's though
