S/mileage's new name is ANGERME, 3rd gen members announced

[resop2]

I made my submission: S/Mileage ☆ Shin (スマイレージシン)

Reasoning:

S/Mileage ☆ Shin =

スマイレージ 新 =

Smile ええ 自信

too lazy to type the slash. adding another symbol just adds more problems.

Too late to change it now. It was my final attack ride.

There is no way that Rikako is 154cm. Murotan looks tiny next to her gen-mates.

[Starra]

Boxes?

[Denki]

Nah. Murotan and Rikako's wedges were around the same height. Pichilemon has her height as 157cm, which seems a bit more believable.

Or maybe I just want Nyon, Takechan and Murotan to do a Minimoni cover one day. ;u;

I'm really glad Rikako ended up in S/mileage.

She was too well-known for MM, and at least her somewhat indie popularity will help boost S/mileage. She also has the potential to be the next "face" of the group, that Yuuka was. Not that I'm being bias, but each group has a member who acts as the main image girl like Sayu, Riho and Airi that just helps appeal to fans as being the favourable member. Also the 48 comparisons would be too heavy for her to join MM without being a nuisance for variety for a while, at least this way it won't get as much attention and she can make a name for herself working her way up with S/mileage as the group develops. Which just makes things ever so optimistic, and more interesting to follow as S/mileage grow.

Third Generation Members

After Takechan finishes doing a promo for the play, during which Meimi is yelling “yay~” the whole time in the background, they talk about the 3rd generation members, Murota Mizuki, Sasaki Rikako, and Aikawa Maho. Meimi is really excited for Murotan joining because she remembers her from the 2nd gen auditions and how strange it must be for her to go through everything and still end up in the same group she originally auditioned for.

They’re also very happy about AiAi saying she wanted to join S/mileage. They recognize that girls these days have a lot of idol groups to choose from, and they want to thank them for voicing their love of S/mileage over groups like Morning Musume. Takechan mentions how strange it is for there to be so few people left in KSS from when she was in the program. For Meimi, it’s weird that those few people are technically more senior than she is by tenure, yet she calls Taguchi Tagucchi and Taguchi calls her Tamura-san. Takechan says she’s perfectly able to turn it around and call her Taguchi-san if she wants, but Meimi seems less than enthusiastic about it.

Takechan says that she really hasn’t talked to any of the new members. She talked a little bit with Rikako when they were in Lillium together but not much, and even though they were in Team Okai together with Murotan they never spoke to each other. AiAi looks nice, but they know nothing about her. Meimi says that she’s most happy about the reception they’re receiving. She remembers that when she and Takechan joined, they didn’t know what to do about anything and people would tell them to leave the group and get out and things like that, but she swears she won’t let that happen to 3rd gen.

Takechan: Actually, they might have just said, “Ah, Takechan is cute.”
Meimi: Oh yeah, that’s right, because Takeuchi Akari-sama is here, everything is okay, right?
Takechan: Yes, Takechan, with your hair blowing in the wind, someone might have said that.
Meimi: I think someone might have called you the once in 1000 years idol back then.

In all seriousness though, Takechan doesn’t remember being told anything nasty when she first joined. Meimi thinks it’s because Takechan is so happy all the time that she just didn’t mind it, but Takechan clarifies: “See, I’m the sort of person who doesn’t get minuses. Minus = Plus, in my brain.”

What's it about this?

And Takechan's the best
