Sakura Gakuin + Ayami BACKSTAGE @ TIF 2015 

Richard Xavier Yep, on the other hand Soyo doesn’t seem to know who she is 😄

She really does. Even to this day she watches them from afar. She was NOT kidding when she said upon graduating, "I will always be your President." When 7th SG President Aiko made a twitter account, Ayami was her first follower.

Almost all of them are taller than Ayami-chan

_Literally _*_every_* SG graduate is taller than Ayami. Even most of the _current_ members are taller. At least Ayami can take solace in the fact that Yume Nozaki, currently the youngest member at just 10½, is way shorter… for now.

Soufriere san What about Madame President Aiko san? She’s pretty small in stature!

@@bigbrutalbassbeer410 Ayami is 149cm tall and Aiko is 151cm tall. So Aiko is 2cm taller than Ayami.

@@noneofyabusiness6474 AIko are taller than Ayami jejejejeje

yes Rinon was there as one of 12 first members.. i dont know what "original" means, but she joined the group in 2011 along with Hana and 10 other members joined at 2010

@@exgebv1758 actually originaly was 8 members, in 2010 Moa and Yui joined to the group.

​@@jakemuller8626 Not really, Moa and Yui said themselves that they have been training with other 8 since the beginning, before they debut. They announce about the group in Apirt, then on their first appearance 4 months later, they introduced Moa and Yui to set up the transfer in rule. I think they intended it to be 12 members since the beginning. 12 is perfect number for choreography, you can divide the group in so many way.

is there a reason why she left behind ? sorry im not really catching up.about this kind if thing, so im just asking .

@@nickolazcarters She's the youngest of the original 12, they all graduated, only Rinon left in the group.

of course, they were a little bit shocked and tired after the performance, i think they never expected Ayami-san being there for them waiting lol

Actually, all of the Avengers (Riho, Kano, and Momoko) are already well-respected by the fans.

@@marloforreal True. They are all very talented. But none of them has been made a full time replacement for Yui for a reason. It will be easier after enough time passes. Who knows, maybe it's time now? My point was Ayami has been both senpai and equal, is the right age for the group, and has the SG pedigree. Momo and Kano are very young and Riho does not have the shared SG history. But I think fans would eventually like to get a full time replacement for closure.

I think Rinon and Hinata could do a good job in babymetal

@@MegaHogzilla Riho does have a shared history with Su though, they were performing together at Actor's school hiroshima.

No, I think it deserves its own musical universe!!! Our President!!!

She seemed to have held it together until the 'bye bye' part. Probably just brought back memories of her time in Sakura Gakuin and the stage shows she did back then, saying countless 'byes byes' herself during that time.

Ayami is SO sentimental, especially about Sakura Gakuin.

studied and living abroad, you eat non japanese food, you'll gain weight no matter what.
