Akane Haga & Reina Yokoyama to Graduate from Morning Musume。’25 at the end of the fall tour.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

2025 is really a cursed sh*tshow in every way. This will be like the fourth or fifth favorite I've seen go, basically one after the other?

They've grown a lot though and it'll be nice enough to see them off knowing they (hopefully) have something to look forward to.

Added to foe list, problem solved. Nothing of value was lost.

Way to force me to log into two devices after years of lurking. Had to dig up my password and everything.



I'm happy for anyone who can graduate and discover/follow new passions, whether we can continue to watch them or not. Regardless of their talents, voice, popularity or contribution to the group, every member deserves happiness and some degree of respect. Even if I don't personally appreciate them.

I liked Akane and Reina, more than the two veterans that are outlasting them. And that's cool. Cheers to post-graduation for these two, where they can hopefully thrive without the harsh judgement of strangers being vomited somewhere in the background.

I agree, I'm probably gonna quit after the Hayashi Niina grad in 12 years. That'll be all I can take.

Graduations are always harder when they don't stay with UF afterwards. Still, I wish them both the best in their future endeavours. I'm glad we got to meet them and follow their activities in MM.

We’ve all been there and said similar things haven’t we…
And here we still are.

Once you’re in, they never let us go…

I will always have the upmost respect for Reina. She was a very dedicated Musume.
I still remember how moving it was when she performed at Budokan right after her father passed away.
For that, I'll always respect her. She is talented and hardworking.

[Celedam]

I'll just be sitting over here, waiting for Moh's apology.

Damn… how many grads is that now. 6? Time for auditions for 18 gen.

I cannot fathom Akane and Reina choosing to leave now especially when 12Ki and 13ki were supposed to lead Morning Musume after Sakura (the last Colourful era member) leaves.

And to add salt to the wound they’re retiring, no soloist career. That… hurts. Can’t I be an idol fan without the pain please
