@AyuHikaru: Thank you for saying what I was too busy and, frankly, annoyed to say.
@BerryzGiraffe3705: Shadow H!P gets a fraction of promotion and media attention that H!P gets, because it's not H!P. It doesn't have the Golden Era legacy or, as AyuHikaru said, the brand loyalty. It is, in most ways that matter, indie. And yet despite that, it does quite well relative to other idols at the same level. Sometimes even better — in this "warring period" there have been Starra only knows how many other idol groups who had big launches by big agencies, only to disappear after two or three releases.
