Marin and Marina do have their own things: cosplay/videogames and fishing respectively.
And they do appear on shows (TV/Internet) with those.
But you can't help the feeling that when Reina goes and does her things the other two are sort of stuck in limbo until she comes back.
And LoVendoЯ no longer seems to be her main focus.
If they were trying to create a rock-analogue to v-u-den, they failed to do that.

The same could be said for Bitter & Sweet. Not quite sure what they are trying to achieve there.
It seems that once you are an 'UP-FRONT artist' you either fall into a category with a far lower budget or completely different staff.
Or the expectations are far lower.
The two acts that are more than marginally successful are Up Up Girls and Ciao Bella Cinquetti.
The former did so almost completely on their after essentially being abandoned in 2010/2011, whereas the latter had to be transferred in from the farthest fringes of UF's influence. Both are also going through a transition period, what with member graduations and some strange member additions.
