Morning Musume hit Europe!
For all those European fans of Morning Musume (モーニング娘), the moment you have all been waiting for has finally arrived!
The ever-changing all-girl idol pop group will be appearing at the Japan Expo 2010 in Paris, France this July.

It’s never been a secret how many otaku and anime fans there are in Le Republic, so it didn’t surprise us that Momusu choose it as their launch pad into Europe. The Expo is expected to attract 180,000 fans!
It’s not their first foray overseas, the brave girls. They have toured much of Asia and even went to Los Angeles in 2009. Having sold millions of CDs by now, it’s about time they made it to the Old World.
On top of France they will also visit Denmark, though no word on Germany or the UK. No doubt the Germanic races are less welcoming to Japanese idols.
Good luck, gals! Bon voyage!
