They actually introduce her as the tallest idol, so is that official now? In other words, is that going to be her signature gimmick as a talent? Except for that and a few other jokes tossed her way for being the requisite young woman on the panel, she's only there for reaction shots.
(Ten years in the business, and she's still the junior. It sucks to be young. No, wait…)
On a more positive note, Momochi's notoriety apparently puts Yurina in context for a mainstream audience. People won't remember "that tall girl from Berryz Kōbō", but they will remember "that tall girl who's in the same group as Momochi".
