    I don't think it is anything particularly about her, it is just hard to get TV offers.

    Out of all of the Sakurazaka graduates, only Imaizumi Yui, Nagahama Neru, and Hirate Yurina appear on television. All of the other graduated members have similar to or higher levels of activity as Mao, and have not appeared on television.

    Actually, now that I realize it it may have something to do with scandals unfortunately. Let's take a look at a list of Sakurazaka graduated members, who I am using with to figure out why Iguchi has not had any TV offers due to their connection through Keyaki-

    1. Hirate Yurina
    2. Imaizumi Yui
    3. Nagahama Neru
    4. Sato Shiori
    5. Ishimori Nijika
    6. Nagasawa Nanako
    7. Suzumoto Miyu
    8. Shida Manaka
    9. Oda Nana

    Hirate, Imaizumi, Neru, and Sato graduated "normally" and currently have featured in a number of media forms, Sato has appeared in a music video, Hirate is a successful actress, Imaizumi has done both modelling and acting, and Neru has made numerous appearances in TV, magazines, and radio.

    Ishimori, Nagasawa, Shida, Suzumoto, and Oda either left due to a scandal or something negative involving romance occurred that could have stained their image among the general public at some point. They have not appeared on TV.

    So unfortunately the combination of their "low" status in the group (in the eye of the general public) and their "romance issues" may cause TV programs to shy away from inviting them on.

    On the other hand, most of these people- including Mao- have found other things to do (Naako with her custom merchandise and accessory shop, Suzumoto with her apparel brand), and radio shows and magazines, and other media projects, have invited them to appear. So there are still opportunities for other high-profile work.

    She was mentioning in her Instagram story the other day she was thinking about producing an idol group, and asked girls to send her their photo and age via DM. No word since. Whatever she ends up doing, I wish her the best.

    I am a bit concerned though. Despite wanting to do things seriously, just yesterday she forgot her keys while going to a konbini, and her Showroom was delayed while she was locked out of her house.

    Congradulation! Typical Iguchi pulling a Wakabayashi and her husband is also reliable. This leaves room for speculations. Will Mama be a mama in autumn?
