Miki's coming back to the US!
http://www.helloproject.com/news/8098/Well, not in a performance capacity, but still work-related and an interesting opportunity for her: she's been selected to be Rakuten TV's NBA ambassador!
I have no idea how much she pays attention to American basketball, but if she turns out to be fairly knowledgeable it's gonna make me love her even moreso than I already do!
On an interesting note, we all know Rakuten is linked to H!P via the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles baseball team, for which H!P made cheer songs in the past, but this season the NBA is experimenting with corporate sponsors on each team's jerseys, and my local team, the Golden State Warriors, happened to be sponsored by Rakuten now! Perhaps Miki could make a song for the Dubs too and keep the H!P/Rakuten sports connection going?
At the very least, I hope she gets to meet Klay Thompson,
as I consider her the Klay Thompson of Morning Musume (both of them are extremely talented and have that "I don't quite know what's going on but I'm just happy to be here and do my best" vibe).
