Well, that sucks. But they can't stay idols forever, and 10 years is a pretty long run!

I can't even say I'm sad about this. It just feels like the time has come, and I'm looking forward to seeing them doing activities they enjoy. I'm really excited to see where Chinami, Captain, Maasa, Risako and Yurina will end up. I know Momochi will always be around, and probably Miyabi as well.

[aerosuffly]

My wish
Momo -> Get a regular show with Suzuki Nana and Rola. lol
Miya -> New unit in H!P or UF
Risako -> Sigh with avex and then a unit with Kyary.
Maasa -> Get married and become a real mama talent or just live peacefully.
Chii -> Sleeping professional (Okay. I can't imagine what she is going to do really ...) -> Ohhhhh study aboard
Yurina -> Model
Captain -> Get into training to be a pro dancer?

Isn't Captain already a pro dancer though? .

I hope they pull a Cha Cha SING for one of their final MVs (Considering the fact that it most likely will be a double A-side). Something fun, cultural, all the members look gorgeous, a good set. I might be asking for too much, but who knows?

I hope the tragic styling doesn't get transferred to another group.

[otaku_blue]

are you referring to the outfits they picked themselves? lol
I wonder if that's why they let them choose.

[sb]

Just to speculate and conspiracy theory it up, I wonder if, but I honestly think, that it's a indefinite hiatus and not a graduation because some of them wanted to keep it going. But enough of them wanted leave that action needed to be taken.

It'll be curious to see who goes where and who does what. Buono! comeback? Or would Momoko leave showbiz entirely and teach? I'm expecting Maasa to retire. What's Risako gonna do? Will Yurina tryout for the WNBA? It'll be interesting to see who still hangs around the H!P and who goes completely away.

[otaku_blue]

most likely. I can imagine a few girls coming back, working with Ufa as talents and therefore appearing at countdown lives and such as "Berryz Koubou" just like Satoda Mai.

[Mirai]

I wish they'd actually get a graduation rather than an "indefinite hiatus".

Yeah, without a graduation, they'll probably just fade out and disappear... Well maybe they'll still get something akin to a graduation concert.
