[5/30] Tamura Meimi has graduated from Angerme and H!P

[Chibs]

Maybe Meimi misses irritating Kanyon and decided to follow her.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

Sohee: Definitely one of the things I'm sad about. She always made S/mileANGERME performances more fun.

Could she be trying out for Takaraduka or auditioning for a theatre company?

I selfishly hope that she doesn't get into Takarazuka, in particular, though.

^
I'm not sure if Meimi would qualify for the Takarazuka review. She might be too short.

I don't think people need to worry about her disappearing into Takarazuka. If I remember correctly the cut-off age is 18, meaning the earliest and last time she'd be able to take the exam is sometime in March 2016, and she would never have enough time to properly prepare while also fulfilling obligations with UF/ANGERME. If she did take the exam I don't think it's likely she'd win out over girls that have been training for years with Takarazuka in mind, and chances are slimmer yet since they accept a limited number of students per year (40? 50? somewhere in there).

I think it's likely she stays with UF, where she has somewhat of a safety net while also being given the chance to pursue a new career goal. It might not be the ideal spot for a new hopeful actress, but it definitely isn't the worst.

^Yeah... I also think at this point in time Meimi wouldn't want to be put at the bottom again. And Takarazuka seems so... soul-crushing to be in. You're stuck at the bottom for so long it seems and so very few get a chance to actually have a real role instead of just being in the chorus it feels like.

Maybe she'll decide to go learn English as well so she can go to the London or New York to be on the big stages

[AyuHikaru]

I keep waiting for one of our more musically inclined stage people to go to New York and try to make it there. WILL IT BE MEIMI?

[Celedam]

She'll have to get her teeth fixed, then; that yaeba might be okay for an idol in Japan, but not for an actress in London or New York.

She might have to get them fixed even if she stays in Japan. They make her babyface even more babyish, and they also give her a mild speech impediment.

[Yattaruchan]

Oh for fucks sake. I don't check this site for a few days, and this shit happens!!! Kanon's corpse is still warm. My No.1 in the group is gone and now my No.2 is leaving too. Christmas blows this year. Riho leaving and Star Wars add to the Christmas woahs.

But seriously, I'll miss her, and all the best to her on her new endeavors. She is such a fun little wierdo.

[Shoujo Q]

Don't you dare talk about Star Wars.
I can't see it till tomorrow.
*runs away*

Meimi leaving sucks though.

[Yattaruchan]

Don't worry, I won't. Besides, this is not the place to talk SW.

And Meimei leaving indeed sucks.

[bisuketto]

NOOOO! These news really ANGERME...I don't want my favorite singer to leave!
