I had honestly thought this thread was with more content than this, and in particular SNH48 related posts, but apparently not.
At any rate, Mariyannu's contract with her agency Dress Code ended December 2012. So from January 2013, she is on a new agency (
fellow AKB48 member Kris is also on Dress Code. In addition ex-AKB48/SDN48 member Hana is on same agency. Ex-AKB48/SDN48 member Kyururun used to be on this agency.):
Flave Entertainment.
What is rather peculiar here, is that Flave Entertainment and office48 have the exact same address. Even same floor number.
http://flave.co.jp/http://office48.jp/http://flave.co.jp/pages/contact/http://office48.jp/pages/contactSo chances are it's the same management just different public name for it.
I'm not sure what this means for Mariyannu especially since she's supposed to be in SNH48, but I hope it can mean an increase in promotional work, be it TV, radio, magazines, etc.
PS: Mariyannu's member page at SNH48 is not yet updated with regards to management/agency details:
