Sayashi Riho to Graduate from Morning Musume。'15 on 12/31

How odd, only yesterday evening two friends and I were saying how she is not an ace and should be replaced... I feel kinda evil now, still, she's staying in H!P so hopefully they can re-mould her vocals, reinvigorate her character and in general give her a full reboot to change things up.

Good luck getting in the countdown show though, I reckon re-selling prices will start at 25,000 yen even for family seats, front row? Good luck getting change from 750,000 yen

please be considerate of people who are her fans. if you have nothing nice to say don't say it all.

And please also do not truncate what I say to twist it! I clearly said "I feel kinda evil now". Do not accuse me of being inconsiderate if you will not do the same. Put the gasoline down, now.

it doesn't matter what I quote, the remark is still there. even if you feel a "little evil" it is still rude.

you're basically saying, "no offence, she wasn't a good ace" even though there's clearly an offence.

I wonder if the reason it's so sudden is because there was some kind of study abroad programme she wanted to apply to, and waited until the last second of the deadline before deciding.

Indeed. She's graduating from high school next March.

EDIT: Never mind. I miscalculated. I knew someone is graduating soon — Erina is.

Not gonna say anymore on this, my opinion is my own, and I am not gonna stifle it just because someone may take offence. If I wanted to offend believe me, I would. Fact is, she is leaving the group, she is staying with the core project, she is going on to other things, it is not an ending, but a beginning. If that's offensive, then maybe you need to take a break from the net. Believe what you want to believe. *bows*

I think I'd be a lot more okay with this if she wasn't graduating in such a short amount of time and that she'd have to leave early for her own graduation concert @_______@

Apparently management have known for a long time, I can't believe they're not giving her the same treatment as Kanon's graduation.

Well this is a surprise.

It's one of those things that feels both unexpected and also not? Looking back, their last single didn't feature her nearly as prominently as previous ones have, plus she had that mysterious medical issue that's been hanging around for awhile...
It's surprising that the announcement has such short timing, but maybe she wanted to start fresh with the new year?

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUDGE .
My girl wont even get an official final single..
And she wont be for Morning Mususme 60th single?!

I'm angry in so many ways. This can't be true
