Hirajima Natsumi (Nacchan) / 1st Generation

IMO it is a miracle that she ranked... I don't think it will ever happen again. Any recent graduated member that would be able to rank in wouldn't join the election, because at that point they would have already chosen to move on. I also think it is really neat that they interviewed her in the No Flower Without Rain movie and then later on she somehow ranks in the Sousenkyo... it is like she came full circle.

Also... like she mentions in her speech... it is awesome that she got to go on stage and thank her fans instead of her last words being an apology to them. [clap]

 

Was Nacchan at fukuoka dome to perform the future girls song?

Hm, didn't realize she had one. Well, following now. Better late than never.

 

Did Nacchan just open a Ameba blog?

Lately, she's dressed up to the nines for WH7 (I think a photoshoot of sorts):

I wonder what keeps her coming back to the group?

Having taken the decision to leave the group despite being offered opportunities to stay with the group, she still keeps returning to events wherever she can - WH, election, the dome concerts...

I mean, I'm really happy she keeps returning, as a fan. But wouldn't you want to break off if you've taken the decision to leave? She could have taken the Miichan route (minus the head shaving) I think, and still remained in the group - I don't know whether this is a more clean way of remaining with some group activities while being technically graduated. I don't know of any other graduate that's still this involved, except for Acchan but she was a lot more of a recognisable face in the group, shall I say.

 

^ IMO she ranked in at Sousenkyo though, so that changes the equation a bit for the rest of the year. Right now she has some of the benefits of being with ABK without the negatives... pretty good deal IMO.

 

Maybe she'll join next years draft
