Personally, I rather have the girls ignore the request of management and continue having a persona when it comes to Television. Momoko hasn't stopped her "Momochi" persona and now she is a regular in OhaSta.
When I think of television, I think of lively idols who aren't afraid of what the higher-ups say. Instead, they be themselves in their own twist. Either someone liked by most or someone who people love to hate. Platinum era didn't really had that one person who can grab the attention of the audience until Sayumi began her poison tongue persona. Even though she doesn't do it anymore, people still remember her and like her even more now that she became a dependable leader.
I have been saying that Eripon would be Sayu's successor and I meant as a television personality. Recently, she has been that girl that is unlucky, bad at jokes and puns, tries but can't catch your heart, but isn't always that nice girl that respects the older or younger all the time. She has a personality that if she were to grow older, she can easily turn up to be an television personality like Momochi. It won't be this year since Sayu is still in the group, but in the few years after Sayu's graduation I can totally see Eripon talking for the group (and not being leader/sub-leader).
