Unbelievable.
I just knew we were going to get double Yoko Arena grads this Spring with Akari and Rikako.

Now I'm upset, how in the world does Rikako get Yokohama Arena but Akari just get Budokan?

^ Perhaps she requested Budokan? I don't know how J=J sells compared to Anju with such events, but that might also factor into it ("Can we actually sell enough seats?").

Hopefully Mifu can come back and it will be worth the decision.

Sasaki is one of the most popular members of all of H!P, and she also has some mainstream visibility through her modeling.
Uemura is the leader of her group, and the last remaining original member, but other than that she’s mid-tier. She wasn’t as popular as Miyamoto or Inaba, and she isn’t as popular as Dambara or Inoue.
So… yeah.

I was expecting double Yoko Arena for them. I think they both earned a send off at a bigger than Budokan venue. Uemura has 10+ years in H!P and is a group leader for years. She should have gotten the Take-chan and Fukumura treatment.

Really, the issue isn't whether they've "earned" it. It's whether they can fill the venue. That's why they call it show biz.

I get it but she isn't on the same level as a Kisora. Budokan is an accomplishment for Kisora, it's kind of a let down for Uemura.
