Mother Finally Met Umeda Erika in Japan!

3


What a wonderful day!
We heard the news that Mrs. Letchumi, the Indian woman who claimed that Umeda Erika is her long-lost daughter, Rubini went to Japan recently after being sponsored by a rich Arab oil merchant, Mr. Sheikh Kebab Al-Unta who read the entry about Mrs. Letchumi who needed help to get her to Japan.

We at the Trippendicular Unknown Stories are very proud of ourselves for being able to help someone, who is so closed to the idol we respected very much.

Please read the "Indian Woman Claims To Be Umeda Erika's Mother" entry if you have not read it before you continue.

Last night, Mrs. Letchumi was featured again in "Love Finder", the program where she told us about her daughter Umeda Erika or Rubini. This time, She told the viewers about her experience meeting Umeda Erika and C-ute.



We do not have the time to watch the recording of the show. As soon as we got the video from our native Indian translator who recorded, the show, we quickly uploaded it here and wrote this entry so that we would not lose to other Hello! Project blogs out there for this exclusive news.

So we would like the reader here, to experience the wonderful moments of Mrs Letchumi while in Japan.

So enjoy!




Edit: Latest news we received from our translator in India is that Mrs Letchumi is charging the TV company on court for some unknown reason. It is rumored that it is related with the "mysterious sounds" at the end of the show which was from Mrs Letchumi's microphone. They did not turned it off after the show.

Well we hope everyone enjoyed the experience Mrs Letchumi had, meeting with her long lost daughter. Must be a sad experience. Unfortunately, we still cannot stream the video as the result from the internet distruption between Asia and Europe.

The Best Moments of 24Hour TV

1



Many of us have watched Morning Musume and Hello! Project artiste performance in 24 Hour TV. Morning Musume performed almost every year since 2001 in the show. The 24 Hour Television, Love Saves the Earth (24時間テレビ 愛は地球を救う, Niju-yojikan Terebi Ai wa Chikyuu wo Sukuu) is an annual program started in 1978 to raise funds for various charities.

Here are some of the best and unforgetable moments of Morning Musume in the show.

Year: 2001. Morning Musume performed Dekkai Uchuu ni Ai ga Aru and I Wish/The Peace Medley.
- Crying Gomaki -

At the start of I Wish song, Goto Maki cried, touched by the condition of one of her fan, the boy on the giant screen. Gomaki visited the boy earlier at his treatment center. The professionalism inside Goto Maki should be applauded for continuing the performance until the end. The boy dyed her hair blonde just because he like Gomaki.

Year 2002: Morning Musume performed I Wish, Souda We're Alive and Do It Now.
- Angel Takahashi (Souda We're Alive) -


In the middle of the performance, half a dozen of wheelchair bound women entered the stage to sing the song together. While trying to reach the front from the back of Morning Musume member, one of the woman hit Takahashi Ai's leg. Takahashi Ai saw the difficultiness the woman had to turn her wheel chair so she just leave her position and helped the woman by pushing her to the front.



Later, Takahashi Ai and Yasuda Kei helped 2 of the women performing their chereography.
Twelve thousand five hundred and fourty-four point nine million points for Takahashi Ai alone.


- Ogawa Action On Fellow Rival (I Wish) -


During the start of the I Wish song, Ogawa stepped on Niigaki Risa's shoe and Risa had a hard time looking and putting back her shoe. Poor Risa.


2004: Morning Musume performed Dekkai Uchuu ni Ai ga Aru.
- FMASGM - The Fujimoto Miki's Armpits Sweat Glands Malfunction -


The stage should be equipped with air-conditioning. Michael Jackson's stage-maker should be consulted for this technology. Looked like somebody forgot to turn off the tap.


2005: Morning Musume performed Dekkai Uchuu ni Ai ga Aru
- Yoshizawa Hitomi's Brain Malfunction -


At the end of the song, while others trying to end the song with a cool chereography, Yoshizawa Hitomi spoiled it. She forgot the steps and performed it correctly after looking at the person next to him.


2006: Aya Matsuura, Nakazawa Yuko and Berryz Koubou performed Dekkai Uchuu ni Ai ga Aru.
- Aya Matsuura's Hearing Problem -

The host was passing the slot to the Hello! Project team to perform but unfortunately Ayaya received instruction earlier and her opening speech were overlapped by the host's. Audience can only hear the last part of her speech ("Hanaka-chan, ganbatte ne!") as the host ended his script. Statistics shown at the very time, 70 million home viewers said "Nani???!!!" (What?), trying to understand what Ayaya just said.

2007: 7 of 9 Morning Musume members performed Dekkai Uchuu ni Ai ga Aru.


Niigaki Risa and Koharu Kusumi did not to attend the performance. A first sign of aging for Niigaki Risa.


2008: Morning Musume, Matsuura Aya and Yaguchi Mari performed Dekkai Uchuu ni Ai ga Aru.
- Koharu, the next Gomaki -



Looks like Koharu Kusumi is currently UFA most favorite member of Morning Musume. In the performance, every Morning Musume members wore almost the same type of shoes except for Koharu who had thicker soles. This made her the tallest member in the performance towering JunJun. Koharu's shoe was custom made by Jimmy Choo, and was paid by UFA with unenclosed amount of 8 digits of Japanese Yen. The purpose was only to make her stand out among the other members.
