She's been a member for more than five years, since her debut in "Egao YES Nude". Even if we give her half-credit for the last year, it's still longer than many other past members.

Seriously. Seems like most people (haters) think that because she has been missing the past 9ish months, the 4 years before that suddenly disappeared. ): I'll miss her.

Tsunku just blogged, says Aika's ceremony will be half way through the concert. Gaki's will be in the second half of the concert.
