i'm pretty sure tsunku has enough money and he's still credited for discovering Maki--if it wasn't for him, she wouldn't be where she is today PLUS kuu looked horrid on those auditions, he had good reason not to pick her (not to be cruel..but really, honestly, who could say she was momusu material?) so it's not like he can look back and say "wow, i wish i picked her" haha--and also, he was famous/rich before H!P and he's made plenty of money with them...

but anyway--i'm estimating (hoping for) a late summer release/early fall. either way, i'm hoping i'll be in japan at the time. i hope it's not like a "surprise! next wednesday maki goto is releasing a new single!" hahah
