Every group is so full all these girls gotta be like 10 so they’ll stick around for awhile.

I don’t think the Ninja song wouldnt make the cut even if those three were still around.

The only marriage Yaguchi ruined was her own. Ruining someone else’s is worse.

Looks like she raided Reina's closet.

In the year 2019 this might not be a good thing!

Take will be 22 this year as well.

In 2 singles it’ll be 2020 and they’ll probably add someone again.

I don’t think the specific ages are an issue. It’s nice that they’re realizing you don’t need to be 12/13 to be worth picking. It’s only an issue if everyone is in their early to mid 20s if they’ve been around for a long time and are at risk of leaving all at once.

It’s work, I guess? I think she boxed herself in the moment she joined MM. She can’t compete with professional dancers who spent all those years seriously training while they were young.

They were basically all over. They served their purpose and that was to keep Reina with the company.

I’m actually glad it’s happening soon. Everyone takes so long to leave that by the time it actually happens I’m over it.

It was more curiosity than wondering if it’s a route she’d actually go.

I feel like there’s a limit to how rough your edges are if you’re auditioning for one of the most mainstream and well established idol groups there is. I think the most H!P gets is girls who are just a bit spoiled.

I don’t think viewing her job as a job makes her a pill. The other members are her coworkers and thinking of them as that before friends doesn’t really make her insufferable to me? And I think her second statement is just a very Japanese way of looking at things.
