On paper, they probably have the same workload, maybe even slightly less than the JPs, but when you start to factor in how often they have to travel for dance lessons and recordings, and how they have to stay up late into the night for JST meetings, it does feel a little unbalanced.
EN goes from Fes prep right into EN concert prep, right into anniversary prep, right back into Fes prep. I don't blame some of the "lazier" girls for not wanting to take on a lot of extra projects like sponsorships, music, etc, if the end result means they have more energy/motivation to stream. Yes, there are girls like Mori that can do it all and more, but not everyone is built like that, nor can I reasonably expect them to be.
I feel like we're at the tipping point where having every girl in Fes is going to become unreasonable. We're already at 3 (4) stages with 6th Fes adding Regloss, Advent, and ID3. With how big EN has become, and with EN concerts now happening annually, it almost feels like the focus for EN should shift to that as the main concert, with only the ones that one to be in Fes taking the extra time for it. It's a real sucky idea, but I honestly can't think of how else they can balance the workload for the overseas members that can't just wander into the dance studio. I suppose an alternative would be
Ame's home studio being the "home base" for EN recordings.
