In honor of Sayumi Michishige’s impending graduation (and retirement), a watershed moment as I say goodbye to the last Musume who greeted me, I will look back at eleven years… of my fandom. (Bad karma, I know. Lord knows I’ve posted enough about me already this year.) Read the rest of this entry »

I delay visiting Idolminded for about a day or so and guess what? Sayumi Michishige, the last Morning Girl from when I became a fan 11 years ago, is graduating – later this year, even.
