Nope. Because they're making a renewal again (though the name stays) and the hosts are apparently gonna be new, too.
I'm really bitter about this lol.

So no more Tanaka??? Ah shit. :crying:

For me, if Reina's gone, then I hope Asahi comes back, or maybe give Moemi a chance, though probably unlikely.

Well.. wotas talked (i.e. speculated) about this before. This is one of them: http://www.jicchan.com/?p=1496

Itooshikutte Gomen ne and (less prominently) Koi Dorobou English lines/bg harmony thing was obvious enough that even English fan sites were talking about it. Moemi has distinguishable tone in her vocal and her English pronunciation is decent enough. She might be as good as Yuki Uozumi of Lovendor who I heard can carry a conversation and Miki Nonaka of MM. And this was confirmed by Moemi herself in her blog, so that's that. http://ameblo.jp/moemi-hasegawa/day2-20150325.html

And as pointed out by that jicchan post, she also talked about recording guide vocals of demo tracks for other units in her blog. So while I don't know if she's the only person doing it, I take it as a reliable information as well. http://ameblo.jp/moemi-hasegawa/entry-11961110560.html

After going back to listen to Itooshikutte Gomen ne, I can hear Moemi now! I cannot believe I did not notice that! And I should have read more of their blogs. Ugh.
That is awesome! She must have been practicing English because her like of western music.

He really is so damn good.
I'll have to go to Sunshine and pick this up when he has his event there. So happy they started pushing him more so we could get to know him. ;o;
