Hayami explained that there may be another path of life that suits her better than being an idol.


Lemme guess, acting? Solo Career? Working at Mc Donalds?

I feel so sorry for these young idols. How many of them, after leaving their group, are never heard from again? They live a short life in the limelight, only to leave and go back to a normal life. Momoiro Clover's kind of small, too, when you compare it to the mega groups like AKB48 and the like, and with how fast the music industry changes, they can't honestly expect to be in the business more than 1 or 2 years at most before they're told to leave, or they decide to leave themselves because it's not what they expected.

Six month's old, but a relevant update.

Akari Hayami just popped up playing Hyadaruko in Hyadain's latest video.

See it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Xxnp0Q1GYQ

It's funny reading this comment now with MomoClo being as big as they are (they're pretty much topping AKB48) and Akari being a pretty decent actress and model. She may not be the biggest actress in Japan but her last few movies were really good and her name is still being thrown around the industry. She still has relevance.

She's seen the light at the end of the tunnel and is going towards it, hopefully she does well as an actress. Not every idol is so lucky.

With apologies to Young Frankenstein.

Scene: two shadowy men moderating in a graveyard at night.

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: What a filthy job.

Igor the hunchback: Could be worse.

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: How?

Igor: Someone could be necroposting.

[Necropost and reply appear. The men depart after locking the graveyard gates.]
