GO ERI!

This is your monthly update at E-E.net…..Well, we are currently in the process of working on yet another new layout, actually a renewal of the site hopefully making it easier to navigate, manage, and allows for more user interaction. So please bear with us for awhile.

As for Eri…her and the rest of MM had successfully completed their Asia tour ending with their concert in Shanghai, China just yesterday. Also, the official casting of the Cinderella Musical has been announced. Eri will be playing Sister Portia, one of the stepsisters of Cinderella. And Reina will play the other sister who is actually the older sister. Weird. This is an interesting role for Eri since the stepsisters are suppose to be mean and Eri is totally the opposite. I’m looking forward to how she portrays her. Pictures will be posted soon if I remember to update it. hehe

I can’t believe I forgot about but today May 23rd is E-E.net’s 4th anniversary online! I know we haven’t kept up the site like we used to do but I want to thank all of you who visit the site. Thanks for all your support and patience despite our slow “turtle” pace. hehe

Also, thanks to amped for reminding me, May 23rd is also World Turtle Day! We had no idea when we opened this site 4 years ago that it would also fall on the same day as Turtle (or Kame) Day. It must be fate.

Thank you all again. Sorry for almost forgetting it. -_-;;

I love finding random info about Eri, makes you and I know her better.

- One of Sayu’s favorite B-sides is Koi ING (c/w of Go Girl), because it was the first time she really paid attention to Eri’s voice and realized it was really soothing.

- At backstage during a concert, Sayu was trying to style her hair and tried to use hairspray to harden it. But no matter how much she sprayed, it still refused to harden, and ended up almost finishing the whole bottle. Then she realized she was actually using armpit deodorant spray. She thought, “no wonder my head smelled so nice today…” She says she normally doesn’t use hairspray and so bought the wrong thing, but she gave the rest to Eri. (Not exactly about Eri but it involved her at the end.)

- Exerpt from Sayu’s Diary Segment: “December 2007. Before rehearsals I hung out with Eri. Even though it was a little early for Eri’s birthday, I wanted to give Eri a surprise so I bought a cake. She was really happy! Thank goodness~ Happy~ WAI~ We ate banana toro together… Yum…Yum..Yum…on the train, we laughed a lot~ <3 “ [Note: these are actual entries from Sayu’s diary that she’s read aloud on her show.]

Eri says the felt turtles she took pictures with are husband and wife. The orange/green turtle from her MAPLE PB is the husband and the purple/pink turtle is the wife.

Pocket Morning Weekly Q&A (week of 05/11/2008)
Question: Fill in the blank to the right with one word. “I’m surprisingly ___”
- Eri: I’m surprisingly timid ★★ But I’ve come out of the closet. Kyaa ☆☆ (NOTE: She means she’s more outgoing now, not “out of the closet” as in “gay”.)

Pocket Morning Weekly Q&A (week of 05/04/2008)
Question: You’ve been challenged to a food eating competition. What kind of food can you eat a lot of?
- Eri: Pickled daikon!! I like its texture!!

Pocket Morning Weekly Q&A (week of 04/27/2008)
Question: If you were going to go on a trip with all of the Morning Musume members, where would you want to go, and what would you want to do there?
- Eri: I want to soak with everyone in Hakone’s spas.★

Thanks to Cheesebox for translating these postcards/photocards. These are the ones included in Eri’s latest PB. Both have the same thing written on them.

(I’ll replace them with a better scan later)

“The reason I’m able to to spend each day happily and enjoyably is because of everyone who are always there to support me. ♥♥
Thank you very much!
I’ll go all out and do my best from now on as well! ♥♥♥”
