From another thread…

it's getting hard to find a Nintendo Switch Lite, because of Animal Crossing trend. My sister wants one now because all her friends are playing at home.

You just need to be a super mama-dol with a popular YouTube channel…



It'd be easy to call her a boomer for not knowing how to use the device, but she uses her iPhone and iMac all the time. It's just a matter of what she's familiar with.

Most restaurants are closed right now, so Ogata is learning to cook for herself…

Either she saved her money from her time with MM, or she's seriously investing in her channel, 'cuz those are not cheap eats for a college student.

^ This is weird. It’s weird for a former idol to directly interact with her former fans immediately after she has stopped working and was released from her former agency. There is no professional relationship here.

Of course other former idols have moved to social media in order to maintain their public images, but they at least try to create new content and attract new fans. In other words, they act like they have a plan. This is not that.

Which makes me think even more that some crazy shit happened behind closed doors at Up-Front, leading up to the disbanding.

She does not have an agency at all right now. Nothing set up for her like some other graduates.
Not going to school or deliberately wanting to leave the entertainment industry. She's almost completely starting from 0.

So then she should take a break and figure it out. At least a week or two, for crying out loud. Doing this now, while recent events are still fresh in everyone’s mind, is begging for questions that she can’t answer. She wants to — she desperately wants to tell her side of the story; that’s obvious in her actions and demeanor — but she can’t.

For the moment we've got:
- Wada Sakurako, who has chosen to leave public life. So don't expect her to show up on Twitter, Youtube,...
- Hamaura Ayano with no agency but sill intending to be part of the entertainment industry.
- Hirose Ayaka who is going to school but opened a Twitter account.

Only Nomura Minami is unaccounted for at the moment. She did express a desire to still be in show business.
We'll see how she handles it.
