Karin is still perfect, but, like, she was there before the rest of J=J (Sayuki joined a year later). If it was any other group, she'd by my fave, but it's like... she's not Tomoko, Aarii or Yuka.
Glad to see her message for Morning Musume. She might have not been in Morning Musume for a long time but it's still nice to see her mentioning it as part of her life.
