Tamura Meimi announced on Twitter that she's releasing her 2nd single in December.

I'm surprised she's getting a second single, the sales were rather low.... Is it considered a success just being able to chart on Oricon?
(I remember a fan once saying that being able to even chart on Oricon is considered a success... Meimi managed top 50?)

Aichan had a fashion photoshoot with Asakura Kiki, Inaba Manaka, Kasahara Momona, and Makino Maria. Details to be announced later.

In the most unshocking thing to happen this year.
Aika is leaving the entertainment industry. This leaving H!P and Upfront. Source

I’m glad I got to meet her and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

Ahh, this explains the seemingly random Aika post Ai-chan made on Instagram today.

But good for Aika, it says she wants to pursue cooking (idk in what capacity) and it's something she found passion for while she was studying abroad.

[Rysaria]

The timing, I just read an H!P confession yesterday that said it'd be funny if Aika decided to come back just before Mizuki could be H!P leader. But yeah, good luck to her.

[Shabranikuduu]

I'm glad she found a new passion in cooking. I wish her all the best in her upcoming endeavours. It's a shame we won't get one last event or appearance from her but as long as she's happy, that's all that matters.

Aika made a lengthy blog post: https://ameblo.jp/mitsuiaika-blog/entry ... 57984.html

Did she just reveal she was responsible for subtitling the MV's for a time?

帰国後は英語を使ったお仕事がしたいと思い、UP-FRONT LINKを通じて海外のファンの皆さんへ情報を送ったり、MVの歌詞に英語の詞をつけるようなお仕事をさせて頂きました。でも、2016年2月、モーニング娘。'16とアメリカ・ヒューストンへ行った時に、自分の英語はまだまだ仕事ができるレベルでは無いと気付き、もう一度留学することを決めました。

Aika was in charge of putting subtitles on UFP videos... It never occurred to me that "GUNDAN of the love" could come from this girl

If so, why on earth would she admit that? They're not exactly a glowing endorsement for the English lessons she had in New Zealand.
