Sidenote-- I feel sad that I missed Bekah being a part of the group. We have the same name!

Yep that's true. JungA will graduate eventually..(and you'll see floods of whines and complaints on this system once again). Pledis did say a member would graduate if she has achieved enough to be off on her own career. In all honesty, only Uee and Nana and maybe Lizzy could actually have their own career in different fields and take flight IN MY OPINION. JungA has the vocals but I still feel she doesn't seem to have THAT spotlight she deserves. (Raina could have her solo career too but still, she smehow isnt the most popular..E-young has extreme talent but her isnt in the front lines once again)

I don't feel JungA SHOULD graduate now, but given her time, she MAY graduate. However, when they gave her the leader title, I kinda felt, she might stay around longer. If Kahi left at 30/31/32, then I guess JungA still has 2-3 more years to go. Not sure if there is a policy on the number of years they can stay though. Ultimately, it might be a company's decision to bring in new blood and release the older and more experienced members from the group in years to come.

And I personally feel, people find the graduation system terrible because, AS is only 3 years old. Naturally when Bekah and Kahi graduate, they felt it's been too short. But in future, imagine Uee's, Nana's , Lizzy's graduation, I don't think people would actually COMPLAIN. They might miss them around but these girls are known for acting, modelling and being in variety respectively and ARE able to pursue these with greater commitment without being in a group. In the end, when they are old enough, they could manage their own careers. Lizzy has always wanted to be a variety host as far as I know haha! I feel Pledis is playing it really well because then they would have so many varieties of talents under them.

Where's Nana and who is the new chick?

[Kouyou]

I like the Orange Caramel covers. Nana's face does look different but I can't put my finger on what way she looks different. I love their outfits, they're so cute and colorful.

[Utena]

so cute, I wanna know which one is the photobook version though ♥

[AyuHamasaki01]

I really hope those are not the covers because the font is ugly as hell.

[adantatu2]

Don't hate me please, but Nana's face looks really bad, there's something weird with her IMO.
Raina looks pretty nice

You're not the only one! I think Nana looks kinda weird in the cover too. :/

[ahtka-chan]

Man, the second cover is really tacky :/

The only song that I like from OC is Funny Hunny... I wish they release more stuff like that!

Yep I will too. Even if one day E-young graduates (maybe 5-6 years down the road) I wil still miss her. I wonder how long I'll be a fan of AS because...ultimately, AS is gonna stay young while their fans are gonna grow older LOL!

Not Bangkok City and Shanghai Romance too?!

[mobius]

Nana face does look kind of weird in the covers. Probably either bad photo shopping or bad angle?

Her face does look really weird. Like you said, I also think it's either the angle or bad Photoshopping...
