SKE48 Rena Matsui out of action due to fatigue

All those PR events, ad campaigns, handshaking marathons, and constant music concerts are taking their toil on poor SKE48’s Rena Matsui.

Rena is taking some time off after the state of her physique forced her to cancel a handshaking meet-and-greet event recently.

Otaku fans, especially those kept waiting to shake an idol’s hand only to have it snatched away, are not known for being forgiving (or even having socially capable personalities), so we hope they take this new development well.

After all, a girl’s got to have some time off, especially when she is a merely sprig of a girl like the 21-year old Rena.

Nagoya-based SKE48 have been becoming more and more successful recently, building their own permanent theater and appearing in lots of ad campaigns. Oh, and probably performing and releasing at leas some “music” as well. Rena is one of the most popular members.
