SDN48's CinDy to join Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 Temporarily

Aki-P's Google+ was really shocking yesterday night. No one would really have expected that CinDy, 1st Generation member of SDN48 and AKB48, would be chosen to join Warota7 (short for Watarirouka Hashiritai 7), even though it's temporary.

Ever since the sudden announcement of Nacchan leaving AKB48 and the sub-unit, Warota7, many fans including me were wondering who would be taking Nacchan's place in Warota7? If no one is replacing, wouldn't make it Warota6? Wouldn't staying with 6 members against the contract?

Well, it was revealed yesterday night on Aki-P's Google+ that CinDy will be temporarily taking that place. Of course, it surprised many people, even the 6 members of Warota7, and brought up quite some heated discussions - even Warota7 had their own meeting on this matter through SMS. CinDy, now 26, is 6 years older than Harugon (Nakagawa Haruka) - who is the oldest among the 6 remaining members of Warota7, plus SDN48 would be disbanding after the farewell concert at the end of this month. Many would say, 'How can this be possible?? Is Aki-P joking?'. If look deeper into the matter, CinDy joining Warota7 temporarily isn't that impossible actually.

Some facts listed that are in favour of CinDy joining Warota7:

• CinDy was the unofficial leader of Team B before the mass reshuffle of the teams in 2009
• Her princess character fits the image of Warota7
• Warota was initially intended to be a sub-unit consisting of Team B members
• CinDy's agency is also OgiPro (same as the other Warota7 members except for Wasamin who transferred)
• CinDy knows the history of Warota/Warota7 [reason links to point 1]

First three points from Melos no Michi

I am actually okay with Aki-P's decision but even though it's temporary, I hope that CinDy would really be treated as a real member and not just a spare as it won't look very good to be just a spare, and that it won't drag too long either as after all, CinDy is already 26.
