Yes! And she even is the vocal lead above Sakura a.k.a Utahime. I don't get why people are complaining. What is the point of having her in a unit if she leaves 3 months later? The line distribution of the song would need to be reorganised. She's getting her solo in her last single, no need to complain!

Absolutely, and I'm sure she'll be featured enough in the rearranged songs too! It's just so silly to me. Why would Up Front "punish" her, after pushing her so much?

Oh, I am not mad, but glad. She never inspired any strong emotions in me, and she has been some kind of ace for quite a long time.

Maybe, but the idea for a Musume is always on a shorter notice, averaging three to four months in advance. Won't be surprised if there's a grad this or early next year. The only clear point is they'll try to retain the artists during the Olympics season.

That's fair, but I can only see one of the older members graduating, and considering they're over the 10 year mark I still think they'd give them some long time in advance. They might announce a graduation (or several) this year, though.

Oh wow, she's on the way to becoming the best recognizable girl outside HP at this point

Also still salty that I still don't get why they didn't put Kamiko in MM

I feel it lol. But it also shows that you don't have to be a MM girl to get recognition nowadays!

As well as new songs for the units!

It does seem like most everyone has leveled up, at least a little, even since Solo Fes. It's exciting, it does make me sad that BEYOOOOONDS couldn't participate though lol

I was in love with those posts yesterday. For anyone interested, you'll have to scroll a little but some were translated here: twitter.com/JKandaPopBana

Thanks! I didn't see the translations yet either :)

100% the same. Forums are so much easier to keep organized, and to catch up on if you aren't able to be online 24/7.

Yes!! Forums are so much easier to use and it's so much easier to look back to find things.

I prefer the forum format too, especially the H!O one so I hope it doesn't completely die anytime soon. Some mildly annoying bugs have appeared throughout time but at least the core interface still works. I just hope the site doesn't crash and burn anytime soon either.

To be honest, no. Kokoro does a great job here! And I'm pretty sure that Miyo/the Only3 cast joined after management made the concept of the title, so there was no other tomboy-ish character. I'd love to see a tomboyish Momohime, though lol

Oh man, I'd love to see one proper performance where just those two switch roles.

mizukingdom1

I'm pretty sure she only got the boy role because she is the tallest member in the group. That seems to be the deciding factor most of the time when they are doing roles.
And OMG yes!! if Momohime and Kokoro swapped roles for a performance that would be amazing.
