I'm feeling quite sad now, even though she wasn't one of my very top oshis in the group I've always liked her and I have very happy memories of meeting her at a 'Thumbnail' event at Makuhari Messe in March 2017 where I had a 2-shot and a CD jacket signing with her:



As I left her booth I said to her (in English) "You're very beautiful" and she smiled and replied (also in English) "Yes I know" .

Good Luck Jiina for your new career and I hope I can follow you again in the future.

 

"for you" wouldn't load for me so i don't know what kind of talent they manage, but i'm glad she's not retiring.

why is this so funny? hahah
