So Ootani Masae's gone on hiatus. She says it's due to depression and panic disorder.
http://ameblo.jp/masae-otani/entry-12290651801.html

At the time of the blog post she said she's been undergoing treatment for a month and already feels like it's helping her.

She gets panic attacks being in crowded areas (especially places like movie theatres) and it was getting to the point where she stopped going outside at all. She's not entirely sure what the cause of it all is, and she realised that just being on medication wasn't helping her get better.

She also asks people not to feel sorry for her because she's depressed.

--

Hope she manages to get at least somewhat better. It sounds like she was (is?) in a pretty dark place but at least she's seeking help. That's the most important part.

This should be interesting. They aren't amazing live, but they've gotten better. I'm wondering if they'll translate their songs or just perform their music normally.

^^ Now I'm sad.

Looking back through her tweets, she also kept her Egg audition number…

…as would be seen in this video, if it wasn't blocked by the chyron.

I wanna say she's going through the typical young-adult identity crisis, but that doesn't make it any less heartbreaking.

"What if my best years are behind me and all I'll ever be is an exidol?" is probably something all the girls go through when they graduate, honestly. Kanon vocalizing it is a first, but maybe we as idol fans need to hear it.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

^ That's a feeling / question that needs to be let out and turned into lyrics.
