Good news! Without having Ayaka as an English teacher, it was bound to be a tough go for Erena to try and study abroad.....


But glad to see her back, and I think a time away from show business can have very positive effects for performers who got into the business at a very young age.
The individual members of SPEED, who broke up while still in their teens, did indeed continue to stay in the entertainment field (although Hitoe was the least active). But their hiatus from SPEED was a time for them to find their own groove, and now when you see them together, they have a joy of life and performing together that partly was born when they were apart.
But I digress, back to Erena Ono, she was a lot of fun to watch, and I hope her agency can help her find some good work. がんばって小野さん!!
