Ima Sugu Tobikomu Yuuki leads : MaaChel

Maachan says Nonaka's singing voice sounds similar to hers.

[Chibs]

Maachan is declaring Chelsea as her rival, just like Oda and Yashii

[jeiwa42]

The English, the piano, the singing, yup those two are rivals alright.

[BerryzCelebration]

Ooh I like . I'm not particularly a big fan of Maachan, but I love to see more friendly rivalries within the group.

[AyuHikaru]

Yeah the Mikitty/Maachan rivalry seems like it was inevitable

Promotion

Oricon article about Suzuki Kanon's diet, from "Pocchari" to "Super Skinny", talks about how she gained weight, her Pocchari character being popular overseas, her injury. Says she hated herself for becoming fat (futtoteiru). "Super Skinny Kanon" became a hot topic with the new single.

while I'm very happy for Kanon the whole carnival around her weight just leaves a bad taste in my mouth

[Nayoko-Kihara]

The same. Lots of mixed feelings. (And continued annoyance at the publishing of "they like her overseas because of her size".)

[Shoujo Q]

I'm about one hot minute and a few drinks short of going on Up Front links and or JMelo and writing a big long rant about how we Overseas fans don't give a sweet damn about her size. It was her character that we liked damint!! Like, dude, Aika, tell the girl in plain Japanese. We like you because of who you ARE, not what you look like!! Most Oversea fans are NOT that shallow.
