Rika Izumi has switched agencies for the third (and hopefully final) time! For those not keeping track: she started with Snow Rabbits, then moved to Sun Music, and then she transferred to a different division of the same agency (Sun Music Brain). She is now being represented by Stardust Promotions, the same people who represent Keiko Kitagawa. It’s my understanding that Stardust has more resources than Sun Music Brain, so hopefully this means bigger and better things are on the rise for Miss Rika!
In related weird news, Rika deleted her twitter account once she switched agencies. I guess Stardust doesn’t like their talent tweeting? You’d think they’d be pro-promotion in any form, but Japanese talent agencies do have a reputation for being a bit (a-hem) controlling. ^^; But anyway, best of luck, Rika!
