Ootsuka Aina Has Left Juice=Juice & H!P as of 7/5

[Denki]

Oh hell no. It was painful to listen to Aina's really high pitch. To me, she sound so off compared to Sayubee, Karin and Tomoko. If Tsunku ever adds another member, I perfer someone a wee bit lower than Aina.

^Seconded
Aina is a pretty good singer... but personally the tone of her voice isn't exactly pleasing to listen to.

[Sohee]

Well for now they're not gonna replace her at all so.

[coconuts]

They're good as a 5 member group. A replacement would be unnecessary. Also, I don't think UFA would want a J=J Arihara Kanna.

[Mixi]

There are a couple of differences between the addition of Kanna in °C-ute and one of a potential J=J member.

1. Kanna joined BEFORE °C-ute's indies debut. It's three singles too late to add a new initial member to J=J unless they pick someone at the very last minute before their major debut next month. Any new member would be considered second gen, not first gen like Kanna.

2. Kanna was an egg who had been in H!P for a year before the formation of °C-ute, not a H!P kid unlike the other girls. She felt like an outsider in °C-ute, AND probably in H!P as well, whereas a new egg would fit right in a fresh group like J=J. All these girls except Yuka are eggs anyway. In that respect, Yuka is the outsider but look how well she integrated despite her age.

There's still time to add (a) new member(s) and a second gen wouldn't hurt anyone. Of course, no one wants to replace Aina. It's just that J=J's line-up can still be modified and we wouldn't have a new Kanna.

Tomoko yeah but she's about as annoying sounding as Sayubee and Karin.

i'ms susper drunk and readint the blog posts is just making me sad.

I'm sober and this thread is making m sad.

I loved Aina. Next to Karin she was my second fab member. I've loved her since the 9th gen audition. I can't believe she is gone. They could have taken anyone else away and I would have been cool with it.

Plus orange juice is the most important juice. Japan has a problem with vitamin C and besides who drinks melon juice anyway? I mean melon soda sure, but not melon juice!

[randompasserby]

I do.
Either the juices or just the fruit slices, every other day alternating with watermelons and papayas as part of my breakfast

[Jessi]

Fruit slices are fine. Lol

Grape juice and orange juice are the top juices! Someone should have been prune juice or cranberry juice haha. Maybe that's just America?

Plus orange juice is the most important juice.

This is what I first thought about when I saw the thread title. NOT THE ORANGE JUICE.
