I think the future is grim. Okada did a nice job saving things as he did. Unfortunately, the only real seasoned veterans (14+ years) in the company are Syuri and Yoneyama. There is no one to really "guide" the company from behind the scenes and shape its direction and I don't think either of those two are really up to the task.
Yuria Tauchi would be an excellent choice for that role (even despite not being a seasoned veteran), but if she doesn't fill it I think quality is going to decline. You need someone guiding things that understands the business.
