H!P makes popular the girls they want popular. Looking at the leads compared to the most popular members in each group shows that pretty easily. Had Kanna been a more mainline member of °C-ute, I have no doubt she would have been popular and at least more willing to come back. Sure, Tsunku says in his blog that Kanna is gone forever because of her bunions, but that's such a depressing reason. Tell me instead that while on leave she read books on wine and has decided to start her own vineyard. Then I can look forward to trying to find a bottle of KAN-NYA when she releases her own kind of first pressings. That's positive, and different, and would give me hope for Kanna's future. Instead, I'm dreading the next day a member I love leaves. What if Captain decides she needs to do college full-time? What if Takitty gets a lucrative deal from Takarazuka? What if Airi decides to leave to research a book on kappas? What will happen to my wota-heart? Will it shrivel and die, or grow three times its size and simply find new idols? I don't really want to know. This kind of thing makes me a mess.
