This is not a sign that she's graduating right? I mean, she can do both so I can get my double does of Mayama :D
they'd be nuts to lose her now. this is the strongest lineup Ebichu has had yet, and also the most successful they've ever been. Hopefully it's just a side thing.
I also wouldn't be surprised if they decided to stick with a group that works and maybe rethink the "middle school" thing.
I don't know any Japanese so it might be my imagination but I felt like they've changed what they say on their presentation. like it had more emphasis on "Ebichu" rather than on the whole "Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku".
I would ditch the name and just be Ebichu, which doesn't reference the members age. But I guess the forever middle school approach is fun too, specially with grandma Mayama.
About the pics, I love the tone they have, I want a dark song like Kindan no Karma which is pretty Rika-heavy to begin with.
It sounds so epic. Do we know when the anime will start airing? All I could find is that the last episode of season one aired today. At least according to imdb.
She looks so mature and professional. Both covers are great, but I think I prefer the regular version because the background for the limited one is kinda ugly. Mayama is beautiful in both though.
