Ah. I see. How unfortunate; this kind of blunder really muddy things up and undermines the achievements of solo artists.

I like AKB48. Some of their music are indeed enjoyable. And their promotion team is impeccable. Their success is really well-deserved. Which is why I feel sad because ayu could've achieved all that but didn't, it seems simply because she didn't want to / stopped caring as much anymore ; ω ;
