Probably the most teased member out of the second generation for various reasons, such as her mood swings, resemblance to Torii Miyuki and for not acting nor looking her age. Is often confronted by the other members because of her tendency to turn down offers to hang out, as well as her being secretive outside of Idoling!!!.

Among the group members Yokoyama would be her senior since they share the same agency. Her dad is currently active in a metal band called GROUND ZERO as a guitarist.

it is probably not wrong to say she is one of the more talented 2nd generation member. IMO she has the best vocal among the 2nd gen, she does tap and aerobics. I think her seriousness is only second to Maria

During the Mira graduation special episode, she said that she's leaving her position to Umeko. Can she really fill in that spot? Somehow Umeko feels like a hybrid of Saya-nee and Mira but yet she doesn't jump into talks as good as the graduated members. In fact other than Amimi the 2nd generation basically doesn't jump into talks as much don't they?

Don't worry Umeko, everyone loves you~

The "what are you proud of" segment in the natsu yasumi 2009 DVD is officially gold

Umeko brags about her father!

The MCs and other girls' reaction to it was just totally amusing

Here's Ground Zero back in the 80's

GROUND ZERO - "Gate of Death" promo
Oh man, if they could bring her father with his band to perform in the Idoling!!! TV show, it'll be amazing

yeah, i'm quite a metal head myself

Yeah, it'll be great to have Ground Zero to appear in Idoling!!! for any segment.

well when your daughter takes your black metal guitar out to play at a girly concert, what's not to be proud of?

I watched another episode of Idoling (Idoling!!! - 20091005 #557) and now I like this girl

I liked her wink and some angry faces. Too bad the episode was otherwise kinda bad for any newbie bonding

welcome aboard the #12 boat Shirenu~

Umeko's facial expression is just golden all the time even when she is not at the centre of the camera

In the later machigai sagashi segment when she was chosen again "eh!? But I didn't even wink this time.."

btw what do you mean by bad for any newbie bonding?

I mean that the guests were more in focus than the girls themselves, and so it was very difficult for any of the girls to really stand out. I don't think all of them even got a chance to talk o-o So for me as a newbie, it was a bad ep for learning more about the girls

I didn't realized that during the boki-ng！!! they made the nikki as a Kawamura sp. Aaah, I　Really missed it.

Umeko VS Puyo Puyo Producer

Honestly I thought that the game is easy and went ahead with it in my DS, but its really harder than I expected. This girl is playing reaaaaaly well

edit: a side note, with la la la no song being metal and all, would it ever be possible to have Ground Zero on Idoling!!!'s live/show
