I've calmed down a bit by now and I just came to read all your responses to this ...
Damn.
I completely agree with
shi ... H!P is losing a huge talent here.
In my opinion (not just because she's my favorite kid) she's the best singer in °C-ute and of the kids in general. She has a real stage presence, something most °C-ute members are still missing, and she's so mature for her age.
Personally, she was the only girl from °C-ute that I
loved in contrast to just like/d. I mean, no disrespect, I adore °C-ute, but she was really the only one I was fangirling.
Anyway, I hope she'll be back one day, maybe with UFA, maybe with avex (just imagine!). Let her finish school (at the least the 9 years she has to finish) and then she can come back. I for my part would be thrilled to see her doing something solo.
