Fujii Rio is graduating from Kobushi Factory and Hello! Project at the end of the Summer tour.
She wants to aim towards becoming a nurse or a teacher.

It is completely unexpected but it makes me wonder if any of the new KSS debuts will be added to Kobushi Factory.

Reason: I moved this post here from the musings thread. It seemed a slightly more fitting place? Plus I could update the thread title to alert people of the news!

Out of left field, did NOT see this coming. I was speculating who would be the first to go, and it wasn't her. (my bet was on Sakurako) I'm super shocked and sad about this news. :(
