Well, 46hr was a blast. And I'm very happy for Kubo, from start to finish she was there a lot with great moments here and there. I like this scene I don't know why she and Kitano suddenly cried since I don't understand a word (girl talk right?). Recently it's been very noticeable that the two had been closer to each other. Kitano was thrilled when both their names were called, well maybe just excited they would go first, lol. Anyway, it's very nice to see them get along very well since both are my favorite from their respective generation. I'm very happy about Shichan's overall participation. She did Nogi- intro quiz again. I was hoping she would lose just for laughs. She participated in the second werewolf game (killed twice). Played Mahjong but I wasn't able to finish it, darn work. And she had this mini-segment with two other members each time to watch and talk about their favorite performance(?) Oh, she was able to touch the snake. Just a little but an improvement nonetheless. But my favorite really is 3rd gen athletic. I had a lot of laugh I'm definitely gonna watch it again many times for sure. I was expecting her to finish bottom 3 but she ends up top 3, bravo!!! To wrap it all up, of course is the group's special live. Suddenly it looked so awesome to see them perform together after a long period of almost nothing. It's also the first time 3rd gen performing Brand New Day, her first solo center. I believe they were able to perform Shiawase and Anastasia but must have stopped studio recording afterward because of corona. See that other pretty girl in the background. Such a wonderful show from an amazing group. Even Maiyan made her presence felt. Btw, she's also watching. https://twitter.com/syr_1214/status/1273917647529234436 Well, that's it. I'm sure everyone enjoyed it too so look forward til next time. . .
Iirc they stard crying when Kubo mention about her hiatus and said mngmt gave her option what to do for next single (22nd), then Kiichan said something like "i want to perform with you" that makes her choose to comeback. @call me cubo already sub it on his twitter
Such a wonderful and silly couple these two.... It's unlikely that Kubo asked to drop to UG in 22nd single, but I'm sure she didn't mind since she can perform with Kii.
Most likely the option is to comeback or continued her hiatus. Also she confirmed her hiatus was due to her academic reason.
I'm just happy it's a thing of the past already. Interesting that she did the MC role more than Ume during the 3rd gen athletic and warewolf game. She looks comfortable with it. She even have that Kubo channel. Though she might consider wearing contacts next time, lol Everything now is going smoothly. Seems like she's very happy where she is now so I just hope it will continue.
I know that, just saying that the fact she came back and be placed in UG is in line with wanting to perform together with Kiichan.
