That Was Then, This Is Now
If I remember correctly tomorrow 25th of October is Erika Umeda’s graduation day because it’s also final day for C-ute’s autumn tour. This coming event gives me a good reason for posting a couple of then-and-now comparison pictures of C-ute.
My humble opinion is that now when C-ute shrinks to 5nin it means also that the group looks after Erika even more dynamic and stylish than before. For me this new C-ute is the best one so far… although I still miss Megumi. Funny indeed that I’m missing her because at that time when she still was in C-ute I was far away from being a C-ute fan.

UFA photo from C-ute’s 3rd indie single “Ooki na Ai de Motenashite” promotion sessions. That was in the middle of 2006.

Quite fresh “Everyday Zekkouchou!!” picture that I’ve retouched a bit.

8nin C-ute and Megumi Murakami still there with others. So this photo is taken before October 2006.

Picture from C-ute’s 2010 calendar.

A early shot with very young cuties. I think this is before Kanna Arihara joined the group so the date must be before January 2006.
