In relation to that directors challenge. Do we know for sure that they are going to be directing MMs next MV or can we still wonder if they will do a single release as is and then have the directors challenge winner do the next one?

I guess that the smartest thing is to wait for the directors challenge winner but then I really want to see  an MV with the new line up soooooon~er rather than later

Haruna became subleader originally because of Tanaka Reina's influence, so maybe now they are just kind of trying to get back to the status quo.

As the group has become so much larger and all of the members are so new in comparison to OG I think having 2 subleaders is a good idea because they can offer even more support to the junior members.

Sayumi once said that she misses having people in the group that she can go back and forth with and that if she did that to current members they would probably just cry... Like Ikuta did when Michishige made that joke when 9th gen joined and didn't introduce her. 

I think because Ikuta has decided to follow the variety route that she has hardened up and thats why she gets a lot of banter from Sayumi.

At first I thought it was because Sayumi didn't like her but then I actually think that it might be for the above reasons and that they get along better than they make it look for tv.

Thats just my thoughts anyway. 

I'm happy but surprised that Ikuta Erina is subleader but as she is my favourite member I hope this means that we get to see a new side to her!!!

And I hope she gets heeeaaaps of TV appearances and her popularity goes up.

That's pretty much going to be my New Years wish hahaha
