Elder Club: Goodbye and Thank you
I've been looking forward to this day, but also been dragging it. The part I was looking forward to is dinner at Griffins. The part I drag, is work (duh). Somehow I managed to get past the 6 hours of work. Then it was off to downtown to meet up with the girls to go to Griffins.
The entree was a disappointment. All of us ordered the same thing. Nothing special about it at all.
The picture looks much better without flash... but I just had to show you what it really looks like.
And of course out "main course"
It was a dessert buffet, and the main reason why we choose to come here. These are the pieces I took. But I took a bite out of the other dishes, so basically I got to try all the cakes!

It's Hello! Project Elder Club's graduation concert today. As always, H!O did a great job with updating all the oversea fans about it with a brief article fill with lots of photos and sources.
It's too many photos to post here, but there's a particular one that really took it home: a teary eye Yoshizawa.
She didn't even cry at her own MoMusume graduation concert. Looking at this picture... made me realize, and really ponder, just what will happen to some of these girls. Nearly all the OG MoMusume were in tears whereas from what I see, the soloist managed to hold back quite well. I guess the big difference is that these girls were used to working with a big group of people, and being shuffle around. But now that they're no longer a part of H!P... what are the chances they'll be able to see each other again?
Three other notable ones:
Nakazawa Yuko (35) passes leadership of Hello!Project to Takahashi Ai (22) (Direct caption from H!O
This is a lot for Ai's shoulder. I wonder if she'll be able to handle the pressure. Then again, she's been doing a great job leading MoMusume (and I was worry about how she'll do too).
A congratulation flower from Goto Maki
And, surprise surprise! 1st generation MoMusume member Ishiguro Aya was actually backstage!
