Natsuyaki Miyabi Has The Flu

Natsuyaki Miyabi, like Tsugunaga Momoko, has also been diagnosed with the flu and will miss the Melon Greeting event, which means that Suzuki Airi will perform alone. From what I can guess Miyabi must have gotten sick from Momo and it must have taken a while for the symptoms to appear.

The good news is that Miyabi will be able to participate in the Berryz Koubou concert this week, but it seems that the flu virus is really affecting Berryz Koubou members. I am surprised to see that they both got sick in such a short time, since this could mean that the other girls could get sick too, but hopefully that is not the case.

Hope you get well soon Miyabi!

A new Berryz Koubou radio show has been announced titled “Tsuukai! Berryz Oukoku” which will start on 7/3 each Sunday at 11PM to 11:30 PM. There was some confusion about it being a radio or TV show, but a quick glance at the SKY PerfecTV channel list at Wikipedia has STAR Digio 400 as a radio show.

This radio show now gives everyone a part in a radio show: Beritsuu being made up of Shimizu, Maasa and Chinami, Momoko in Puri Puri Princess, and Tsuukai! Berryz Oukoku with Miyabi, Yurina and Risako.

Miyabi missed the concert on 05/16 because of health reasons, hopefully she will get better and will be back in time for the next concert. A similar thing happened in March (specifically 3/21) where she and Risako got sick and that caused the cancellation of that days concert. Let’s hope she gets better!

UPDATE 5/17

Miyabi was present in the last concert, while she did seem a bit tired she did manage to make it through the concert, so what she had the day before wasn’t serious. Glad she is OK and hopefully she can get enough time to fully recover.

Risako and Miyabi With Flu UPDATE

It seems that the Berryz Koubou news don’t stop coming, now it seems that both Sugaya Risako and Natsuyaki Miyabi have the flu and won’t be able to attend the concert on the 3/21. The concert will still go on, but there will only be the other 5 girls, which could enrage wota’s because Risako and Miyabi are the lead singers in many singles.

This is one of the many reports of a girl getting sick and missing a concert date, there was Chinami sometime on March 2, who was advised to rest by the doctor, or Kanna who is missing the entire “Bye Bye Bye” promotion and concerts because of bunions.

It seems that there is either an idol-specific virus or they are working to hard (Alo-Hello DVD coming up, concerts, etc.). Good thing is that they will be soon back in action on the next concert date, but unfortunately it was canceled (the one on 3/22), but they will be present for sure in the next one. Down below are the links to the official H!P announcements about the two concert news, check them out if you read Japanese:

3/22 Concert Cancelled

Update on 3/23: The concert that was cancelled on 3/22 is rescheduled for 5/6, almost two months later but it is still going to happen and with Risako and Miyabi.
