Submitted 2008-06-07 12:50 PM
5th generation Morning Musume member Ogawa Makoto has finished her studies, and has returned to the Hello! Project after 18 months away.
Ogawa graduated from the group at the end of the "Ribbon no Kishi" musical in November 2006, and went to study English for a year in New Zealand. She returned to Japan in December 2007 after obtaining a TECSOL, a qualification for teaching children English. She left again in February 2008, and obtained a "Test of English for International Communication" (TOEIC), achieving a 730, which is in the second highest rank.
Ogawa will first appear in the Morning Musume show "Haromoni@" on June 8th, and will be part of the Elder Club. She hopes to become a "Maruchi (multi) talent", which can be described as an all-round entertainer.
