Next flu victim: Nakki - C-ute 5-nin at Erika's last appearance in Tokyo area

Another H!P girl has caught the flu, Nakajima Saki. C-ute had to do without her today at their concerts in Nakano Sun Plaza, Tokyo.

Now of course the rumours have begun about whether the rest of the members might have been infected by being in close contact with Nakki, since they performed together with her yesterday. There was luckily no signs of weakness from any of the other members today.

What's making people most worried is the fact that next weekend is the big final of C-ute's fall tour, with Erika's graduation. Even if no other member will be reported with also have caught the flu, will it it be enough of a reason to move the concert with Nakki's absence? Taking in consideration that it's such an important show, where Erika officially is leaving C-ute and H!P and all members would definitely want to be there. Usually you're supposed to stay in bed for a week when you get the flu.

For me this is even more worrying than for the Japanese wota, because I will be going back home at November 11th and it seems like it will be hard for me to come back again this year. I of course already spent a lot on a ticket for the final show with no guarantee of being able to get much of that back by re-selling it to someone else.

Let's hope that the rest of the girls got vaccinated against this type of flu and that Nakki will recover fast.

With Nakki's absence today, the big difference was that Erika got to sing "Time Capsule" solo. Something that I of course didn't mind. Earlier this year I got the same kind of luck when Miyabi became ill and missed a Berryz concert, where Saki got to sing their duo song solo as well (Sakura wa Raku Sa). As a fan of the least popular members, you don't get to see your favourites in the spotlight that much, so I've feel good about have been there when they finally got their chance to shine.

According to some wota, apparently four members of Morning Musume went to today's concert. I didn't get to hear it from someone who actually saw them, but I sure hope that Risa wasn't there to see me cheering on another girl, lol.

Since this was Erika's last time to be on stage with C-ute in Kanto area, all fans kept shouting her name for more than five minutes after the concert was over. We didn't get her back on stage, but it was still touching and the tears were close to fall for me. Next weekend I will probably be weaker than Aichan at a Musume graduation...
