Haromoni@ Cancelled !


Haromoni@ Cancelled

First hinted at in a blog post earlier this week, what started as rumor seems to be a reality.

Full Story


First reported in this blog post earlier this week, Haromoni@ will be ending with the September 28 episode.

There's still no official word, but a new issue of BLT magazine supports the blogger's story with this entry in the programming grid:



The kanji after Haromoni, 終, means "end".

After a long string of extremely low ratings (under 1% viewership), it's not hard to understand why the show is being taken off the air. But what will become of Morning Musume without a weekly television show? Hello! Morning started in early 2000 and continued until 2007, when the show was renamed Haromoni@. At that time, the show also received a drastic restructuring that most regular viewers will say was for the worse.

Perhaps another, all-new show featuring the group will appear, but there's been no official announcement so far. Also, given the ratings of Haromoni@, it seems unlikely.
