fujimoto miki, former hello project soloist, now member of morning musume. she originally tried out for morning musume back in 2000 for the 4th gen auditions, but she didn't make it that far. also tried out for the girl group dream that year. it's assumed that instead she was given some training and preparation by hello project and she debuted as a soloist in early 2002. she had a decent sales, but they weren't good as matsuura aya's sales. funny thing is that they became pretty much best of friends. at the end of 2002 at the yearly kouhaku music event she performed her song "Romantic Ukare mode" with 4th gen morning musume members as backup dancers, then tsunku(producer) supposedly got the idea from this to put miki into morning musume. few days after new years it was announced that she would join the group along with whoever was chosen in the 6th gen auditions that were taking place at the time. so miki is the strange exception to the rule of going from group to solo career. lol.
i'm planning on sharing some miki pvs and performances, but i'm undecided to share miki stuf or maki stuff first.
