GMO Soloist (Hello! Island)
Mano Erina to become new Hello! Project Soloist (Totally Hello! Project)
MANO ERINA (Maple GreanTea)
Recommended reading. There’s a whole lot of confusion and hope mixed in at the news of an Egg becoming a soloist. Tsukiki wonders if this bode well for Viyuden’s Erika and Yui. MorningBerryz wonders what kind of image will be planned for her. Hello! Island’s hide-chan is of course ecstatic and shares moar eyecandy. TH!P wonders about Gatas while hoping Manoeri joins Wonderful Hearts. And MGT likens her to a young Ayaya, which can only be great.
I’ve never seen Tsunku make a major shift like this, at an awkward time of the year. He must have really big plans for Mano. It not only screws up Gatas (because Mano was its top member, even moreso than Konno, Yossie or Rika), but Mano is effectively shelved for a couple months while plans unfold. Maybe a blessing, maybe a curse. Hard to get a read on this one.
