Wada Ayaka to graduate Angerme/H!P Spring 2019

Postby koregaboku » Thu Apr 05, 2018 11:10 pm

Announced on her blog.
Quite a long essay- but also very thoughtful and insightful.

From last November, when we noticed she was fixing her teeth…

Aichan, Sayu, and Maimi all graduated at 25. Ayaka has a couple more years, if she wants them, but fans should start preparing for the inevitable.

EDIT: And it’s a good bet that Harunan will go soon after, if not before.

A pretty amazing run. It's hard to even imagine another H!P girl who debuts as a group leader, molds the group in her image, and stays leader for her entire 10 year run.

She still wants to be an idol after she graduates, but wants to find different ways to express herself in addition to singing/dancing.

卒業しても「アイドル」でいたいし、 歌やダンスだけでなく様々な表現を通して自分の思いを伝えていきたい

Ayacho isn't retiring from showbiz. She wants to sing and dance on stage even in her 30s.
She wants to go beyond the definition of an "idol".

Another graduation announcement so soon after Haachin!!! At least we still have about a year left to enjoy her lovable dorkiness.

It's amazing she stayed as long since Maro graduated.

Hope she lasts until about early May. That'll be the only remote chance in hell I'd have to see her live.

This is was to happen at some point sooner then later. I'm happy that we can still see her in H!P for another year. I would love to see what she's going to do after the grad. I wouldn't have minded if she would have gone working at a museum, following her passion. It would awesome if she can somehow combine her being a idol and some work in art.

But no matter what happens I will always love her. That's never going to change, she is my #1 special idol. I might have other favorites as well, I even love everybody in Angerme as my favorite girl, Ayacho is always a bit more special. I can only be happy for her that she choose to take a new step as an idol.

Will be sad to see her go, but was really just awaiting this announcement at this stage. She's had a fourteen-year run since she joined Hello Pro Egg. I hope ANGERME manages to have continued success without their veteran leader. I guess this means Fukumura will be the leader of Hello! Project?

It was bound to happen. At least we still have 1 year with Ayacho. ;a;
I'm hoping for the best success for her in her last year and after she graduates.

Tbh, I was expecting her to be the last '94 to graduate. :fear:
