User blog:WonderBuono!/Reina...

I just figured out about Reina's graduation... I went on YouTube and someone I was subscribed to made a video about Reina graduating. My first thought was "Please tell me it's a rumor... please please please..." and I came here to check, and... it's... it's... true. I'm still in denial right now. I just can't believe it. I know it sounds stupid but I can barely breathe right now...

Aside from the Buono! members (you should all know by now that I love them sooo much, haha), Tanaka Reina is my favorite Hello! Project member of all time. In a way that almost makes her better than the Buono! members, because she's standing alone... I love Momoko, Miyabi, and Airi mostly because I love Buono!, but I love Reina because she's Reina. I love her voice, her hair, her personality, her humor, her devotion to what she does, even her "wonky" eye. She was the only member that stood out when I watched Maji Desu ka Ska! (the first Momusu video I liked), and I knew as soon as I watched it that she would be my favorite.

The past couple of weeks have been completely crazy for me... and I guess this is just the icing on the cake. I haven't taken a graduation announcement this bad since Ogawa Saki's graduation last year... and that was because it was the first H!P graduation I had experienced, and because she was my favorite S/mileage member. But I barely knew anything about S/mileage back then... nowadays, Morning Musume is my favorite main H!P group, and Tanaka Reina will always be the face of Hello! Project to me. :)

I've been thinking for a little while what I could do to commemorate Mano Erina's graduation, but now my focus is on Tanaka Reina.

Love you, Reirei! ;) I will support you as a soloist and as a band leader! I'm sure you'll do great!
