She was on break not dead

I am not the kind of fan waiting every waking moment for her to return and complaining periodically that we haven't heard anything

So I moved on and didn't worry too much about it and boom now she's coming back!

I love her so why wouldn't I be excited?

Sayumi's coming back to showbiz next spring. She says she'll announce what her exact plans are later.

Making room for Sayumi?

[Yattaruchan]

What exactly is JP Room?

I'm assuming it's an upfront thing, but I don't realy know what all those different UF*, um brands/affiliates/factions/whatever are generally about.

*Like UF create, UF works, etc. I forget which ones I've seen.

JPRoom is for the OGs, it's kinda sad having her leave the company

I thought Mitsui was still H!P?

She is, but she's just not under UFP.
