Yeah, it seems that Chihaya is the "tragic heroine" of iM@S...
I mean sure, Yayoi's family is poor but they're not that "poor". Its not enough to be called a "tragedy". Depending on how things turn out then MAYBE Takane might fall into the category but she's a real mystery as we learned in this episode.
...and what happend to Chihaya at the end of this episode must be DEVASTATING to Chihaya. Singing is her life. She's using the fact of becoming an idol as a stepping stone to become a world famous singer, hence in the earlier episodes she showed very little enthusiasm in her idol activities. She seemed to be enjoying things recently, especially when she was on "
Nama'suka?", she actually laughed...but then this had to happen. DAMN YOU KUROI...*shakes fist in air*
...though Yukiho could have suffered through a tragedy as well. There were rumors that they'd get rid of her character if they couldnt find a new VA for her.
Good thing they found one.
