I cannot see the comments to my profile status unless I copy/paste the hyperlink and then remove the ?status_id=xxxxxxxx part. 

Any chance of fixing that? Thanks.

I'm going to Tokyo next month, in part for MM '15's first weekend of shows (though tickets sold out before my friend could buy some for me). I'll do my darnedest to make the Country Girls handshake/mini live that's going on Saturday the 14th. They're doing 3 of them, which is kind of crazy. As Morning Musume has 2 shows that day, hopefully I can work it out. However, it's about 80 minutes travel time between.

It would be cool to say I was there early in the life of the group.

Riho is the ace - the spotlight dancer and singer. There's a lot of pressure on her - not just outwardly but put upon herself. It requires intense focus. A lot of great performers are accused of being aloof by others.

Riho has definitely come out of her shell socially and away from the stage, but that's not natural for her. As we can all agree, on stage she is an absolute natural. She's one of my favorites for all these reasons and many more. 

Man, I can't learn Japanese quick enough to be able to (kind of) understand what Maa-chan is talking about. That was awesome, per usual. Thanks, tadahitorinoningen!

re: Detractors

Duu mentions the couple whose boyfriend said she was cute, it seems people fuss at her.

She got a lot of heat for the mic rip "Jicchan" comments.

Seems she says a lot of things that get dissected and criticized. Maybe I'm just extra-sensitive because she's in my power trio...
