She was officially promoted to Team B, the team known for its energetic and chaotic performances (famously led by the "Yankee"气场 of Tomomi Kasai).
In the annals of the Japanese entertainment industry, certain catalog numbers transcend their medium to become cultural artifacts. One such number is STAR-409 .
