Ito Marika (Marika) / 1st Gen

It is. I think she refused to take bikini shots back then when they did the 2nd group PB.

 

Marika to be a cover girl of EX Taishu. Released on 12/15.

The title is "Arigatou!! Ito Marika"

Thanks for the effort!

I noticed that a lot of the older blog entries have broken links. The thumbnail works, but the enlargements do not. Maybe it has something to do with that?

Dang. She really is graduated. She's been removed from the wiki...

 

^ funny thing is they havent moved himetan to 'graduated' who graduated earlier

what is this conspiration
admin explain yourelf ..... jk

but seriously

 

I think it's because there has not been a established graduation date for Himetan. We all know her work has diminished, and for all intents and purposes, that she has already stopped all activity, but there has not been official word as to when Hime's last day is. We know both their blogs are available until the end of the month. She may still post something. Hime is on the Under album with the solo and the graduation film. I wish they would just tell us a date.

 

This was one of the first girls that got me into Nogi46.

Bye bye Kumariko!

 

That's the difference between the two. Marika graduated with her mind set already, then it's done. Himeka on the other hand, well just my personal view, somehow I feel management trying to make up with her. I could be wrong. Under album solo song, there's this documentary (?) about her. There's no set date for her official graduation. Maybe because of the album/docu? Marika moved on while Hime, still here but also not here anymore.

 

Marika's PB will be titled エトランゼ (French: étranger). Google Translate said it means "Foreign", or probably "Stranger" instead?
Anyway it's read in Kana as ETORANZE.
ETO RANZE.

 

At first, I thought the title is "Entrance" lol

 

An entrance to a world outside of nogi perhaps
