Sunday". I apologize for causing so much inconvenience" she apologized and said, "From today on, I will do my best to meet your support, I hope you will give me your support"

[+19,331, -1,712] If you're a senior member who did something wrong and is getting criticized, why don't you give up your seat to a junior since you have already been doing this for 10 years?
[+15,104, -1,434] They should fire her and let another member who is working hard out.
[+10,713, -1,425] The apology was too short, and talking with background music?
And the comedian made it to much of a joke.
Kanekawa talked twice as much as she was but with no background music
The announcer she was with did well
I wonder if Hoshino reflected, it feels weird
[+8,454, -625] It's not like they're a group that needs Hoshino, there's really no benefit with her coming back.
It's just a bad influence on her juniors who are working hard and earnestly.
[+6,817, -523] No, no will they let this slide? I don't think she should.
Won't this just disgrace Nogizaka46? Normally she would have to graduate or gotten fired to set an example for the other members
[+5,559, -515] I was glad when Hoshino wasn't coming back and now I wonder why she is coming back when Nogizaka is facing hard times with Ikuta graduating. Hoshino's absence won't affect the group at all. She can participate in her own radio but I hope she won't appear in Ikuta's center graduation song.
