Leader Ichioka Reina has graduated from BEYOOOOONDS and Hello! Project on 3/1

Manakan is the only person to leave H!P then come back, as far as I know. I don't recall Konno ever coming after her grad.

Manaka came back about 18 month (or whatever) later to KSS Hokkaido, before getting slotted into J=J.
If I remember correctly, she wanted to go KSS-H first. I assume to get herself time to be performance ready again.

Konkon did graduate from Morning Musume, then came back to form a group with some of the KSS along with Yoshizawa Hitomi and Fujimoto Miki

Technically Konkon is the only member to leave H!P and return. Mananka left CG but not H!P.

[Yattaruchan]

I never realised that Konno being in Ongaku Gatas was after she graduated.
I didn't realise Manaka didn't official graduate from H!P after CG.

I've never considered Ongaku Gatas a propper H!P group, even though technically they are.

Also, the other girls were Eggs, not KSS.

along with Yoshizawa Hitomi and Fujimoto Miki

You mean Ishikawa Rika

Satoda Mai was also in that group too

[Solarblade]

Also kind of technically Kosuga also came back albeit as a KSS for a time

If there is 1 group to have a new member reveal later this year then have Ichioka walk through the door it's Beyooooonds.

Bahaha fair. My apologies I meant Eggs. It’s been a minute and it’s been well ingrained in my mind to refer to the trainees as KSS and not Eggs haha

It's time for BEYOOOOONDS to bring in the "transfer student" character.
