my usual direct source for Gatten Gatas didn't have it up when I checked... oh well...

matadesuyo8 of H!O wrote a short summary of what Mai and Yossui had to say about the EC grad and apparently, to them, it's no big deal and just will continue, business as usual...

i just feel weird about it since the "faces" of H!P (at least to me) will all be off H!P..

...

anyway... i've always imagined IshiYoshi leaving H!P together so HUZZAH!

same with GAM and MaKonkon... they're like socks... one should never leave the house without the other...

... i posted this somewhere... someone was asking about the organization and what H!P really is and benefits members get from it... so this is what i think...

Hello!Project is what it name says it is: a project under UpFront Works comprised of people under contract with UpFront Angency.

what it provides is members is a regular salary as it is an active running project with all the performances and merchandise going on

i don't know how it is in japan or elsewhere but most artists here earn only as long as they have a project (a show or an album or whatnot). once the project ends, they are as good as unemployed...

so there...

just wanted to post that here, in case i forget...
