All I can think is that whatever happened must have been really bad for them to terminate her contract when she was out the door anyway :\ . Otherwise why create all this drama by terminating her early?

Aww, great to see Oda and Zukki still hang out with each other! I really liked RihoKano when it was still a thing but it seems they grew apart as time went on, so I'm glad to see that Oda and Zukki appear to have a genuine connection :D (I assume, I can't imagine going over to a former coworker's house otherwise).

 

Not gonna lie, I was really excited when I saw that Yokoyama Reina listed Zukki as one of her favourite OG member. Honestly, a lot of my opinions of members changed depending on their interactions with Zukki XD . I had no interest in Maria until she started appearing a lot in Zukki's blogs lol.

@LoveRice, sure, there are plenty of fans (especially western fans I think) and people in general who love an underdog story, so agreed on that. Zukki definitely was one of the "underdogs" of the generation. But it's not the only ingredient. I would argue that Eripon was about as much of an underdog, but it took her some time to build the much bigger fanbase she has now today. And sure, people gradually like a lot of things about their oshi, but I was specifically talking about how people *first* became fans of Zukki some I'm not sure what your point was in saying that?

 

I'm surprised to hear that Rikako doesn't have a lot of people buying her goods, especially with all the hype she got as a KSS. What happened there? 

 

As for unpopular opinions... I honestly didn't get the hype behind Shimamura Uta. I liked her and thought she was cute, but I didn't get the constant hype and consequent mourning considering how short her tenure was.

Zukki is chubby, but on this forum, I've never seen anyone (even her fans) really deny this. Honestly, I could care less. I guess maybe there's a whole tumblr + youtube comment fandom that does that? I've also never seen any really hardcore fans be like "I'm into Zukki b/c she's chubby"... I've maybe seen people like her facial features, or liked her onstage persona (especially her early persona).

 

The only popular claim I've seen that seemed ridiculous to me was the overestimation of her singing abilities. I love the girl, but her consistency was definitely a concern.

 

I also disagree with the fact that Masaki stole her act and overshadowed her for all the reasons @taylorniw already stated. I mean, it was no secret that the two didn't get along in the early days, but I think it was more a vast difference in personality: even though Zukki had her silly moments, she was also a lot more serious behind the scenes and always followed the rules whereas Maa was a lot more free-spirited.
