Tbh I doubt she was bullied. Talked to in a grown up way? Sure. Bullied? Doubt it.
She auditioned to be a rocksinger, not in a girlgroup and/or an idol. Can't blame her for leaving.

I heard Kaori and Nacchi did bully her, Nacchi wasn't that nice back then. And Fukuda was the one that threatened her position before Goto.
Add to that the underwear incident in Mechaike, I'm pretty sure she was traumatized.

Underwear incident? That's sound amonous and horrible.

I think it was Kato, who spun the girls around, except when he spun Fukuda her pants came off and her grannie panties were shown on tv

Ichii Sayaka joins OFR48 (not a real AKB subsidiary group). Created in 2011, OFR48 stands for ofuro, and is a idol group made up of bath house workers you can go meet!

From what I can tell, yes this is really an actual thing that is seriously happening.

Oh jeez, I didn't see that on the previous page~ Sorry and thanks, Amped! orz

I'm a little split on this... on the one hand, it's kind of a cute thing, the group itself. Kind of just a fun cooperative team-building thing a group of bath houses is doing together--similar to when companies have softball leagues and so-on. (Obviously it's more than that, since they're releasing actual physical singles, but they're at least all nobodies doing it, so it still has the bootstraps indies feel to it.)
But then, Ichii feeling the need to join in just seems, yeah, kind-of desperate and weird on her part? Especially because they're trying to pull in all the buzzwords of her previous and attempted employment...

[wotakubrandon]

Yeah I wonder if she's struggling financially or if she misses the idolesque life or I don't know. It just seems so.....so.
