My Take
I still go back and watch Riho Sayashi dance in her Morning Musume years. A middle schooler holding centre and hitting choreography that hard is not common. Then she graduated, walked away completely and disappeared from the stage, which is usually where this kind of story ends. Instead she resurfaced a few years later as a touring member with Babymetal, playing enormous festivals abroad, Glastonbury in 2019 among them. Dance runs on the body, and everyone tells you that time off is time you never get back. She closed that gap, then added singing and acting on top. Someone from Higashihiroshima taught me that the strongest performers are the ones who climb back after stepping down.
