So I was reading this article. And then I read this:

He further added that there is a possibility of a demotion as well, causing an uproar among the crowd.

Uh, does that mean any of the girls could be 'demoted' back to Eggs? If that's true I officially despise Tsunku.

[Amped]

that won't happen. they already built chemistry and fanbase. He's not that sadistic.

[Chatin]

But Dawa could possibly be demoted from leader.

[Sohee]

I doubt it. Ayaka's become quite a good leader, and while I disliked her a lot when S/mileage started out she's really grown and I love her now.

Though, gotta say something in relation to the comment in the concert thread.
Tsunku did say during his announcement, that if needed the new member/s will undergo training for 3-6 months and thus be sub member/s for a while, which would be being members of S/mileage but not take part in all activities as they have training to be able to keep the quality up. But maybe it won't be needed, so maybe he'll just go and say "Here's the new member/s and have them join 8/14." Now this is the last day of the H!P summer tour. I don't know if he meant that to 100% because... well, it's Tsunku. But just figured I'd mention it that he did mention a date. But it all depends on who he chose to be the new member/s.

watching the recent HaroPro Time episode. Smileage was absolutely hilarious. Tsunku needs to find someone who is genuinely funny like them. He needs find someone as the same age as them so that person can relate to Smileage jokes.

[Sohee]

I think that's where the whole jrhigh-high school thing comes in. Anyone in that age could easily relate and connect with them, I think. As long as they're outgoing.

[Amped]

i don't think he will pick anyone older than Ayaka. 14-16 seems right. i'm excited, but the same time worried when i saw Smileage's reaction.

[Sohee]

Maybe. I think it depends a lot on how many he decides to add, too. If he goes for just one person, I think 14-16 is probably where he'll go, but if he adds let's say 3, I could see him go with people 13, 15, 17 really. It wouldn't be that strange and while one girl would be older than S/mileage... it's not like things like that hasn't happened in Musume.
