Reaction to Takeo Doi's "The Anatomy of Dependence" (Part 2)

 3. This quote from American Wota:

As for which individual H!P Kids I see doing well… Or at least well in comparison to everyone else…

Momoko, certainly, if she can handle being the next Ogura Yuko. And by that I mean drawing a balance between her growing maturity - and the sexy appeal it can hold - and her childlike idol persona.
