Inaba Manaka has Graduated from Country Girls

Postby Starra » Thu Aug 04, 2016 11:05 pm

Manaka's been on hiatus since April due to ongoing health issues (asthma that she's had since she was a kid which worsened after debuting) and has graduated from the group because of said condition.
http://www.helloproject.com/news/5488/

She wishes to continue somehow, so it sounds like she'll be staying under UF (and maybe H!P?) since there's a chance she'll be able keep being an idol in some way, albeit probably not in a group. She wants to think about what she would like to do and it sounds like she's in talks with UF about future activities. The problem seems to be with travelling around the country and the like.

If only she had won H!PS ... :fear:

I wonder if Country Girls will go the ANGERME route and ambush some unsuspecting KSS and tell her that she is now in Country Girls?

Are there any KSS would would fit in?

They did that already with Musubu and Nanami, no?

And I thought we had the reaction video here…

…but apparently it got taken down.

Probably because it was taken from this Hello! Station episode. It's right at the start -- they start off with event footage and then go to the VTR announcing the members and show them setting up the room.

Cool, another graduation where I'd just barely stopped being irritated by a girl and started liking her a lot. Can't say I didn't expect it this time at least. *sigh*

Any more wild things you wanna throw at us, CG?

Even though I kind of expected it, it's still very sad and Country Girls is losing an important member :-( . I hope that Manakan can stay in HP! and MAYBE, if Riho comes back, they could do a dance group together or at least work together somehow :smile: .
I hope that Country Girls will be able to continue without further problems in the future. They already lost two members in such a short time and they seem to get sicker more often than members of other groups. Hopefully Momoko will stick around a bit longer.

There we go. I thought it was something like that, but I didn't remember exactly where and I didn't have time to look for it.

to me, Manaka is the pioneer of the dance movement for H!P (along with Ayumi, Riho). She was the face of the Hello Station dance club. I thank her for bringing H!P to a higher level. I wish her the best.
