Ok. So this is kinda a Yaguchi blog and all that is fine blah blah, but thanks to Nociel who found this gem (and sludgetrap which nudged me):
Yaguchi Mari official blog! No really! :D :D
The best part? Unlike on some other celebrity blogs you are actually allowed to leave comments on this one! I realize we are all very excited about this, but don't screw this one up, ok? XD
This is pretty fresh of the mill. It just opened two hours ago :) Go go go! Go check it out!
For no particular reason whatsoever I took the liberty of cloning some pictures here :)

So for those of you who don't spend every waking second checking the Hello! Online newsfeed, I just thought I'd let you know H!P just imploded on itself. Total collapse.
In fact they are graduating entire Elder Club. Like Kuno says: "Yep. All of them".
That means all the oldtimers are gone and out of there. Also Ongaku Gatas gets the axe.
I'm not going to speculate on just how deeply H!Ps money-problems are getting these days, apart from that the last two years we have seen a steady decline in everything looking like budgets when it gets to H!P. TV-shows? PVs? They've been getting cheaper by the day.

Again, I know this is not really what you are waiting for either, and again quoting ampedechoz.
Besides Yaguchi, other H!P members there will be Tsugunaga Momoko, Umeda Erika, Yoshizawa Hitomi, Ogawa Makoto, Miyoshi Erika, and Okada Yui. So quote a mixed H!P collective to look forward to ;)
Program homepage is here, but as of now it doesn't seem to have too much interesting stuff there.
According to the comment over at JPM (bleh), it seems the wotas are more excited about having C-ute and Buono members there, but oh well.

ampedechoz has once again picked up some news about Yaguchi releases coming out. This time it's a variety DVD (Surprise, surprise :P ) called "Taiman sokkyou konto battle - Ad lib II" and will be released December 17th.
For rabid fanboy pre-ordering, or just checking out more, you can go to CDJapan. Although in Japanese, neowing has more info about the release, including who else will be there.

So not having seen the movie I have absolutely no idea if this is total dreck or not, but hey! It has Yaguchi in it, so it can't be all bad.
ampedechoz had this handy amazon link. I couldn't find it at CDJapan yet, but if it's out, it is out, and it probably just a matter of time before they have it in stock as well.
Go crazy, go buy ;)
Update: Now also at CDJapan. Unfortunately this release seems to have no subs. Maybe a later international release?

Thanks to Bram MMI for this one. Yaguchi's picture on the official H!P site has now been updated, after not having changed since 2005.
I'm sure you all have noticed how that picture never changed, and even have gotten used in recent event promotions and what not. So what's up with this?
Does H!P now finally have some plans for our Yaguchi, a new single perhaps? That's at least what some other people seem to be thinking or hoping.
Not getting hopes up myself, I must admit it was about time they got her a new one. Let's see what happens :)
