Ah! You know after all these years we finally learn the truth about the manpower-Reina-loner-bus picture! I'm not sure if you know what picture I'm talking about but some of you might...(sorry this might be easier to explain if I actually had the picture but I never saw the point of saving it)...anyways there's this picture of Reina sitting all by herself in the back of a bus while the other girls are all sitting in pairs further up. Anyways this picture would surface whenever people attempt to point Reina out as this loner. Initially the picture didn't really bother me but people kept using it again and again...but apparently there's a story behind it in which Reina reveals on this week's five stars. Reina talked about how she had this really high fever the day they had to travel to Koharu's school for their surprise visit. Her manager felt really bad for having her work even though she's so sick...so her manager arranged it so that Reina could have the back part of the bus all to herself so she could sleep once the cameras were off.
So after all these years we now know that's how she ended up all alone on the bus. Which makes me feel bad since people misinterpreted this but then again it's all the past...our little yankii is well showered with love these days =D
anyways other people listened to this part of the show too so copy and paste

Awww I just listened to Five Stars. It seems that when Reina was going to Niigata for Koharu's Suprise School visit thing, she got an extremely high fever and her manager had her lay down and sleep in the back of the bus when the cameras weren't rolling. She admits that she really wanted to go home early, but she pushed through it with a forced smile and preformed the Manpower for their new member and her little mini-wota classmates. It also seems like she had a high fever during the Elegies jacket shoot and had to pause for a bit, and apparently if you look, you can see the sickness in her eyes. All in all she tends to work as hard as she can through any type of sickness.

She said once during a live in Fukuoka, while singing "Dokusenyoku", she had a hard time with another high fever, especially since she's responsible for the sabi (high point of the song). The next morning, before the next live, she went to the hospital to get intravenous drips and continued to perform. When she went back on the stage, she thinks maybe because of the cheering fans, she forgot all about her fever and felt better
Overall, it's really amazing how hard they work and how well they hide things like this. Even recently when Sayu was sick on haromoni, I didn't even notice until Reina actually commented over it...so I really admire Reina and the other girls for working so hard.
