Juice=Juice Leader Miyazaki Yuka to Graduate Spring 2019

[Nayoko-Kihara]

Juice=Juice's leader and eldest member will be graduating at the end of Juice=Juice's Spring 2019 concert tour. She still plans to continue working in entertainment after her graduation. She's been thinking about it for a year or so, and chose the timing herself now that the new members have become familiar with the group. She wants to challenge herself and find something that makes her shine as "Miyazaki Yuka". Her future activities will be revealed at a later date.

Well, at 25 years old now, Miyazaki Yuka needs to figure out her future.

Does any member want to stay for 2020?

[Yattaruchan]

Bugger!

The age 25 curse is back at it again. We knew this day will come. Yuka...

I remember when Yuka was a finalist of the S/Mileage Generation 2 auditions.

I was hoping that someone would stay in a group after they turn 25. Oh well. I am glad she will stay in entertainment. I think she will be great as a TV reporter/personality, perhaps on a local TV or internet TV.

Btw, doesn't it sounds like this decision was made before Yanagawa's decision, but UF/Yuka delayed the announcement?
