Niigaki Risa graduated at Nippon Budokan [5/18]

[UreChiissa]

Judging by age, this should be how it will turn out but I don't think any official announcement was made was it?

Anyways, I had plenty of time to prepare myself for Gaki-san's graduation and even though I'm deeply saddened by this, after seeing how Ai-chan is continuing her activity in acting and in what she loves, I'm actually happier to see her follow her own path, and Gaki is the only graduating member that I feel this way for ♥

So...Sayu is going to be Musume's new Leader..But Captain is going to be H!P's leader o.0

nothing weird about that. for the longest time Yuko was leader of H!P after she stopped being leader of MM. Waiting for official announcement but I wouldn't be surprised.

Yep it is just the person who wrote this news 's judgement.

Gaki-san says thank you to everyone commenting on her blog

for the longest time Yuko was leader of H!P after she stopped being leader of MM.

And going back to the other end of the timeline, was she actually regarded as the leader of H!P when she was the leader of MM? As I understand it, Nakazawa acknowledged Heike as her "dai-senpai".

Yeah, Heike was technically the first H!P member, so she was the first leader. Yuuko took over when Heike graduated.

So the USA has this "Presidential Line of Succession" thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Sta ... succession

I think in lieu of recent events, one should be made for H!P. xD

[erilaz]

^ Well, if Captain is indeed going to be Gaki's successor, then we'll just have the rest of the H!P Kids following by age, which would make Maimai the equivalent of the Secretary of Health and Human Services. And Sayu would be behind her, as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

It's so weird to think that Mai is only 15....she's been in H!P so long 0_0

Even weirder to think that Saki is going on 21

Oh...er...on topic...Risa = best member ever

[Starra]

Mai's been in H!P since she was 7. Which is more than half her life.
