Former Juice=Juice utahime<\/em> Sayuki Takagi has returned from her 14-month exile from the music industry with a new stage name and a new mission. Her stated mission is to provide a company where former idols can continue their careers unburdened by the rigid rules of the Japanese idol industry, rules which ended her membership in the Hello! Project and her association with Up Front Promotion when she ran afoul of them. It’s a daunting mission, almost certainly guaranteed to fail, but one with which I’m rooting for her to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
