My Asuka story: I've always liked her voice, and thought she got kind of the short shrift because, even though she was essentially the co-lead vocalist of early MoMusu, she was an afterthought after Nacchi (mind you, I understand
why Nacchi got the big spotlight push, but I still think Asuka got the short end of the stick)
Favourite thing(s) about Asuka: She was actually really down to earth and mature, especially considering she was the youngest one in MoMusu when she joined.
A memorable performance: A bit cliche, perhaps, but her graduation song, "Never Forget"
A picture that I like: A video that I like: When she reappeared briefly in 2006
Other comments: I loved when Kei reported in her blog that Asuka was there when the Elder Club graduated last year. It's nice to know that whatever old wounds were there apparently healed enough for her to do that. Also, I sometimes wonder how MoMusu would have been different had Asuka not jumped ship early -- do we still get Maki Goto in 1999? What about the Golden Era? Does that still happen if Asuka stays?
