Sayaka Ichii is back!


This is old news, but I kinda felt like putting a few words about it here too.


Sayaka Ichii graduated from Morning Musume in 2000, and shortly after re-emerged in the music scene as a part of the band CUBIC-CROSS. They released singles and an album, and in 2003 Sayaka released a solo single.
Then came the news about her pregnancy and she withdrew (with no hesiteijon it seems) from the music business and stayed away for five years.

Rumor alert: THe official reason for her graduation was that she wanted to study (heard that one before haven't we?, cough asuka cough), but in only six months she was back with more music.
I read somewhere that Sayaka was annyoed with both the heavy promotion and pushof Maki Goto and the adding of 4th gen members. Apparently Sayaka was supposed to be the second face of MM next to Natsumi Abe before Maki Goto became so extremely popular.
And with the 4th gen I think she might have been annoyed that she would be pushed even further to the back (or she just found them too immature and left the ship).

Now she is back, and for starters it looks like she is gonna be a tv-personality and actress.

I am hoping for some music in the future, it'd be nice.
Her song "4U -hitatsura-" (her only solo single to date) is a nice jpop song with a cute video. I doubt this is what she'd be doing now, but lets be a bit nostalgic for now :)




hello/online has translated the first posts of her blog, a video message and a longer (and really interesting) article at their site.
