The oldest member of Morning Musume (having graduated at the tender age of 28 in 2001), Yuko Nakazawa may not be around much anymore, but she’ll certainly stay put in your memory.

She was the cool older sister, the one who might yell at you and give everybody a hard time but really cared deep down. Yuko was also infamous for, despite her age, being unable to land herself a husband, or at the very least, a boyfriend. The parts and characters she portrayed on Morning Musume’s now cancelled show Hello! Morning were always something to look forward to. Today she can occasionally be found appearing in plays, but she will always be an important part of Morning Musume to me.
