^^ Was there a making of video for the pb? That's something that would be really great to see!
Maybe we shouldn't blame tsunku for ayaka's presence being so flitting. Perhaps she's just too busy oozing sexuality to have much energy left for tv appearances, singing, photography, or anything else.
But if anything, what has happened with satoda mai makes the rareness of ayaka sightings that much more frustrating. For ages I had my eyes on mai in country musume when few others seemed to notice her and figured that it was the last we'd see of her when the other two left the group. But now she's everywhere! Wish that could happen with ayaka too.
