<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(250,252,255);">-She hasn't given any thought on returning to the entertainment world. She's been super happy just living a normal life.
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(250,252,255);">-Sounds like she just had her school festival recently.
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(250,252,255);">-Some people did seem to suggest she should do Youtube, but she said she doesn't think she's popular enough for it... lmaooo little does she know Utahell.
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(250,252,255);">-She got asked where overseas she'd like the travel, she answered: Italy and Hawaii... but she doesn't have the money for it lolol. She wants to go to Italy cause she has a little Italian in her, her mom is 1/4 Italian, so she's 1/8th Italian.
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(250,252,255);">-She's not in any school clubs at the moment
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(250,252,255);">-She's super super close with her mom
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(250,252,255);">-Hasn't really grown in height since we last saw her
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(250,252,255);">-She really likes PuchiPura
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(250,252,255);">-Not dating anyone at the moment
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(250,252,255);">-She still sends other members messages on their birthday and things like that (but it doesn't seem she keeps in touch too much beyond that). Except for Ozeko and Chii who she will talk to more often.
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(250,252,255);">-***Why she left: She didn't have the physical strength to participate in idol life... and she also didn't go to school for most of her middle school.**
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(250,252,255);">-A lot of people said she looks like Miyabi

Even though her outside look has changed and people had commented on it, she insists she hasn't become a "bad girl," that she's the same girl inside. She didn't even dye her hair, she had just started getting into makeup/fashion. (Some had called her a gyaru)

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(250,252,255);">-Was surprised to see "Maa-tan" (Manaka) join Juice=Juice. Uta still sometimes keeps in contact with her... but she didn't want her mom to hear that she did. She loves Manaka. (I bet they bonded over not having the physical strength to be an idol.)
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(250,252,255);">-Being an idol is very, very tiresome but she said it was lots of fun. It allowed her to have some great experiences.

Btw PuchiPura means “small price” and is slang to refer to drugstore cosmetics.

I'm on my phone so I'm just gonna comment on it real quick:


Judging from her insta she's really pretty. I think she could do decently well in the entertainment world.
