That album was terribad .

Even worse than the trance remix album they put out, lmao.

Risa Niigaki – Downtown DX (24 May 2012)

Showing off the ice picks she bought on Hama-chan ga, and also noting that MM is all Heisei Era now…

If that's her real kitchen, then MM and UFA are not hurting at all. See also Aichan's clothes and Reina's shoulder bags.

But she needs a new couch. hahaha

That being said, they get paid on a seniority level from what I recall. On the tax things the wota dug up after the Onna ni Sachi Are single, I think Ai and Risa were making 320k, 6th gen 280k, and then it took a drastic drop and i remember JunLin and Aika only getting 30k.

So, if she's been making 320k a year, not including paid appearances and adverts (back in the day) - she's definitely in the millions and could afford a nice apartment. Even if her living room looks hella lacking lmao

She probably spends all her money on Disney stuff.

Doesn't Risa live with her parents/family anyway? I seem to remember reading that somewhere.

[danzarely]

She does when she is going all furusato, but she works in Tokyo.

she lives with her family in Yokohama in an apartment. she commutes to Tokyo. Gaki is family oriented.

she posted pics of her room in Hello Channel and parts of the apartment on her blog.

i think everyone except OG's (4th gen and earlier + Mikitty) live with their families.. seems to be common in Japan to stay with your parents for a while, maybe even up until you're married. i remember having doubts about Aichan (i just figured since she always seems to have someone that can take her fashion check photos), and i dunno if Mako's situation has changed, but she was living with her family during the time she opened her blog. not sure about KonKon.

certainly Gaki, Sayu, Eri and Reina, kyuukies & juukies still live with their families, and i'm pretty sure Aika does as well. Koharu too, but i don't actually have anything to base that on, just figure she's still pretty young. JunJun and LinLin were living on their own when they were here, but for the obvious reason that their families were in another country altogether.

in terms of OG's, the only ones i'm not sure if they live on their own/with significant others are Yossie & Rika. i assume they do but i've never seen anything about it.

although now i'm re-thinking kyuukies & juukies. they HAVE to live with their families.. but what about the ones whose hometowns are far? like Riho in Hiroshima or Masaki in Hokkaido.. did their families relocate? sometimes i forget to think about how huge a sacrifice the girls/their families have to make when they join.. @-@
