Mole Removal

So, Yuuka Maeda of S/mileage has officially left Hello!Project today. She has been my least favorite H!P member ever since S/mileage debuted as an official group. Even back when she was added to High-King and Shugo Chara Egg!, instinct told me I wouldn't be able to stand her.

So I should be happy that Holy Moley has left and I don't have to look at her lazy or withering smiles anymore when I watch S/mileage videos or look at their CD covers. I should be happy that she has made way for the vampire to become a front girl. Well, I am happy for that last part. But at the same time, there is an empty feeling. It's nice to see her absent in the newest Hello!Project images. But now...

Who am I going to despise in H!P?! Mai Hagiwara of C-ute used to be my least favorite. Now it's either her again or Rina Katsuta of neo-S/mileage. Even though Maimai's attitude annoys me a lot of times, sometimes she's really interesting and cute. But Maimai has to be my new least favorite (again) because Rinapu...

Well, Rinapu is boring. She's very content and seems to goof off if the other girls are involved. But she reminds me of a grandmother. I can't despise her. I may not be a fan, but she makes me want to walk her across the street or let her teach me knitting. Aika may have the "granny" voice among H!P, but Rinapu has the "grandma" aura." Aww... so Maimai it is then for the least favorite. I guess that means I don't despise anyone anymore.

Even with that out of the way, though, I'm worried for S/mileage. Yuuka was the most popular, and without her, I can see their supporters plummeting. I haven't bought any S/mileage releases yet, because I love other groups more, among other reasons. But now, I really want to find a way to support my little vampire so her group doesn't get axed just as she's starting out in it! C'mon, Meimei, charm the masses with your hyperness and fangs! (You might have to convert some people with a bite to the jugular...)

When the title for Yuuka's last photobook came out, "See You-karin", I really hoped that meant Karin was going to replace her, just to spite her for leaving. But sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case (Karin isn't in the next single's covers.) Oh well, I guess they can't be too mean since Yuuka's graduation was possibly a result of flunking school. It just sounds suspicious since the submember system was said to be a way for members to step down for a bit if they weren't doing too well in school, but I guess Sakichy and Yuukarin didn't want to hurt their pride like that.

I'll laugh and then cry if she turns up as a new ace for AKB48.
