UO: I feel like ever since Riho left, Ayumi has been left to rot set aside in the group. She's not as prominent as she used to be back in 123 > Endless Sky. Riho having Ayumi in the group allowed her to have that "i don't wanna lose to her" mindset, which made her improve her dancing a lot, and the same went with Ayumi. However since Riho left, i don't think Ayumi has improved in her dancing anymore, and her position in the group isn't as "first row" as it used to be. I wouldn't say she's a back or mid tier member, but she's like.. below the front the girls.. idk. It's weird. At least to me. As much as I comment on her bad singing voice (which is getting better if i'm being honest), I would like to see her more as a front row member once more.
Besides her dancing what else does she have?
- As you mentioned her singing sucks
- She can be funny with members but only sometimes when she isnt tired. Shes not funny on TV.
- I know beauty is subjective but personally with make-up she only looks okay. If she is truly cute the office would push her because of her face
- She has no character. Her #MiyagiPride "character" got her a few gigs but Rikako who is also from Miyagi who surivived the 2011 earthquake and got that "Maeda-Oshima love child" pretty much ruined that which she revealed herself
The reality is she DEPENDED on Riho. Like others said she had that rival chara which honestly because she wasnt near her. Even in dancing it was about the same
