Aol made an article on Inaba, suggesting if she would be Satoda Mai's successor and join Country Musume.
They also mention Inaba's high skill and good dancing.

Awww this made me so Happy ! I was thinking about something like this happening !

YAAAAAAAAAAS!

Weren't we just talking about this?

Tsunku mentioned something about it at new year, that he might do something about it did he?

So this will be under H!P it's not just Hokkaido girls, I wonder if Kenshuusei will get a bye through the earlier rounds like MM auditions? ...will they add in MM members? gahhh too many questions. Pleased though!

If anything this gives them a chance.
There are at least half a dozen Trainees completely capable and ready to debut.
Now's the time to put them into action.

An odd-numbered group of Trainees and new girls would be perfect.

MANAAKAAAAAAA!!!!

Manaka should be like the first member added to the group.

HAHA SO AMUSED
He actually went through with it. Awesome.
This will be interesting.

They should have done it while Satoda still had time to "be part of" the decision process! Oh well. ^^;

There's always means via webcam ?
