To the guys who are happy with this cause Miki is getting a solo career, I'm sorry but my thoughts are that she ISN'T having a solo career.
- She fucked up, so UFA is losing money, they wouldn't be happy with her.
- They announced that she won't be in the H!P summer concert, doesn't sound suspicious?
- Look at the latest GAM sales (not good), which have Ayaya in it too, look at the last soloist sales, Maki which is the biggest, didn't sell well. Nacci wasn't nothing spectacular and Ayaya's last single didnt even get a top 10 (albeit long ago), and her last album didn't fare too well either.
What in the world makes you think Miki will do better than any of those more popular soloists? And just after an scandal? I know wotas have been supportive, but what about the rest? most people who had a mild interest or aren't as hardcore may not care for her now, at all. She won't get any new fans ("hey, look, it's the girl who said: fuck it, I'm dating and so what!!. Let's buy her stuff!!"), she lost some of them instead.
Miki had the chance to solve this, but she just didn't want to, she was selfish (the group certainly needs her, so she's screwing her friends...) and now she's just probably be like mari doing some TV stuff, or even she'll just be out of H!P for good...
Anyway, this will be a real test for Aichan, but as I read about what happened in the concert tour where she fall of the stairs, all the girls were really supportive, as the fans. She also could have rested in the hospital, but she performed, sitting, since she couldn't dance, but she tried really hard. The girls love her and she loves MM. She'll make a great leader, she just needs some adjusting time and I also believe that when there's need, the real leader comes out of you. I'm sure Takagaki will be a fine era.
