LMAO the CM

 

Although not as much as before during her blitz at the end of the year, Maiyan is still appearing in a lot of events and shows. It looks like management is trying to promote a lot of the other girls. However, if there is someone who is oddly missing in news and appearances, it would be Nishino. Besides her interview promoting Video Girl Ai with Takama, Yoda, and Ikoma, she has mostly disappeared.

 

Maiyan just update her blog. She bless us with TS x Shiina Ringo and IkuMai!

As expected Maiyan. She is Ray's first lady.

 

So proud of Maiyan. She's the only idol in the list.

 

So I took a quick check of the other 4 girls that were ahead of Maiyan, and I would choose Maiyan ahead of those girls any day of the week for a modeling job, not to mention some of the other Nogi girls that I would pick over those 4.

 

I do love Nogi's, but...

Objectively those four are hotter on whole entertainment scene. Only Maiyan who relevant enough to compete with them.

 

What's the Umazu Kingdom show about ?

 

Horses and horse-racing
Uma = 馬 = horse

The good thing about Ikoma's graduation is that Maiyan will probably stay at least until the end of the year, or even more... I was so sure that she would have been the one going to announce graduation in these months.

 

I won't make that assunption yet since it's still February. If she manages to stay after March then I can say so.

 

Her birthday in August, she will turn 26. Summer single falls on July, last time was August. Would be a perfect time, imo.
We can only speculate and discuss. If the girls have decided and there are few of them who wants to graduate perhaps their management would convince some of them to delay, like one at a time. Ikoma's graduation announcement, idk if anyone saw it coming. So expect the unexpected. Maiyan might even stay until the end of next year.
