Hello! Database: Eri Kamei

Eri is from the sixth generation. She hasn't been especially popular, but her star is constantly on the rise and she has a fanbase of her own. In fall of '04 her screen time was given quite boost as she became a regular member of a weekly Hello! Morning segment HPH (Hello! Project Hour) as a field reporter (under the name of Elizabeth Kyamei).

It it sometimes said that Eri is the weirdest of the bunch. She has tendency to space out (which ensured hilarity when she was supposed to interview Kaori. Additionally, she likes small spaces.

In general Eri's archievements have been quite minimal. She is the only 6th generation member to be in Sakura Gumi (as opposed to Otome Gumi. She is known to be the worst drawer of the whole Morning Musume. As with other members with no photobooks, she got her first in late 2004.

Of the members of Morning Musume Eri tends to enjoy the company of Sayumi most. In addition to other things, the two were together in the Futarigoto series.
