Can't believe I have to defend Rie. The difference between the release of covers and shit is because Rie can do some of the work herself just like jelly. Fishman said and I think lumi said it too that they all get a budget for music they're free to use, some talents don't touch it.
Lumi has that many models because she funds them and her artists are professionals that seem to know what a deadline is.
What it is a bit of a dick move is the fact that the gen1 jp girls don't seem to get involved in con events that much, either because of the language barrier or because they don't really want to. From what some girls said they don't really force people to participate on things, they ask who is interested and they go from there. There's also the fact that only like 5 of them do this fulltime, the rest work or are going to school. I don't think there's favoritism per se, it's more like who's available to do x and who has enough pull for y.
