Nope, this isn't a joke.

Looks like it's because of her ankle. She'll still be part of H!P, just not MM。.

THIS IS SO WEIRD. The 18th is like... 12 days away.

Thanks for posting.

She was my least favorite, but I still had respect for her and felt bad for her circumstances. :< It's really sad that she won't have time to get a proper send off. Hopefully they squeeze in a DVD for her or something..

Reina's already blogged about it. She says she was shocked, and was expecting either her or Sayu to graduate next.

I think we knew it was coming. You simply can't have a performer be unable to perform for so long.

But not leaving H!P? How does that work? It contradicts every graduation they've had since March 2009. Is she going to become an all-purpose MC or something?

omfg. im speechless.

MAN!!!



Idk if I'm more pissed that she's leaving. Or that her ankle wasn't able to get fixed or that she is glued on w/Gaki's grad.
Or wtf. :c
I feel bad for her. Really really bad. She's so beautiful
Still in H!P .....this outta be fun. Maybe they are just doing it so she doesn't feel bad about leaving Morning Musume。and then after a while she will leave completely. ::

According to the announcement, she has recovered to practically full strength but her doctors are concerned about recurrence if she goes back to dancing. It's a risk she can't take.

Two graduations for medical reasons in as many years. It reminds us that idols are human too.

That makes me even more mad about UFA keeping her in H!P still
Why keep her If she won't be able to do more.
Just end it quick.


AIKA ...
And some thought Risa's grad was rushed..


Does Aika get the award for most short noticed grad?

D: ah. Daw. I was hoping she'd be ready to perform by the summer concerts as I am hoping to catch one of those.

Bleeeeeeee. a bit sad that only 2 members are left by the time I finally get to see them.
