It's been almost year, if not a year now, since Kago was put on hiatus.
Now, I know EVERYONE is writing on this, everyone. But, I don't think H!P is going overboard. NO, I don't mean that the sentence isn't to long, I mean I don't think they're doing it on purpose.
Look, H!P has a long history of laziness. T&C Bomber anyone? Good girls, good talent, good singers, good songs....bad premotion resulting in bad sales resulting in H!P not even wanting to try anymore and therefore giving up on the group and letting them go.
Coconuts Musume = Bad concept (Japan is a pretty nationalistic country. They're more patriotic than the US, they just don't get as much crap for it. Thus, they aren't going to accept some below average, if not OKAY looking AKA not that pretty "gaijins" singing in broken Japanese (though, admittedly, not ALL of them spoke it badly. Some could speak it, and Danielle did pretty damn good.) and H!P just clears them out and does nothing, instead letting Ayaka rot in that basement in H!P HQ where Yuko, Kei, Kaori, and several other H!P "members" live.
They don't know how to bring back Ai. While plaguerism is a bigger crime and certainly WORSE ONE than smoking underage, it doesn't soil the squeaky clean image. Wota's don't care as long as their short little 19 year olds can still act and sound like 9 year olds. And most 9 year olds...DON'T smoke. If Ai DOES come back, she will bring back a bad reputation for H!P and soiled image for herself. If she doesn't come back she remains a problem on the back burner for several years. If they graduate her from H!P, they graduate one of their most important pieces of H!P history. They go with back burner. Can you blame them? There are no reprocutions from putting her on the back burner, the fans get tired, more pissed with time, but can't really start to truely complain until she's gone for about a year and a half.
I, personally, don't know what they should do either. W's sales were on decline after Miss Love Tantei anyway, and they'd only be worse.
Here's to Tsunku getting old and tired! -glass clink-
