I'm both surprised and not surprised at the announcement. I wish her the best, I'll miss her.

I had the feeling it was coming, but thought she'd stay a bit longer. I wish her all the luck and hope she gets a fantastic fanfare out.

I wonder if she'll get a solo a-side... she definitely has the voice to carry one and has been in HP for a long time.

She is going to be missed terribly. I hope whatever she's planning on doing makes her happy. But of the two I was really expecting Wada to be the first to go. So this is a real shock to my system. TvT This is too soon!!!

Well I was not expecting this lol. I felt like on their blogs, around when the name change and new member colors came out, that she was the one promoting it the most. I'd surely thought that she'd have a tenure as long as Momo or Sayu. Part of me also wonders that if Yurina were still around, if she would be as well lol.

Ah she'll be missed. But best of luck to her in university, and hopefully we'll see her again in some fashion. I wonder if this will spur on a 4th generation audition.

[Shabranikuduu]

Maybe. Or maybe she brought it up with staff some time ago, which is why they added a 3rd generation.

I'm not very surprised. She never seemed to have the same drive as Ayacho when it comes to staying in H!P in the long run. We know she has poor self-confidence and she may have felt "unneeded" with all the new, younger members. As she said, 2nd gen are doing a good job as senpai to 3rd gen. Ayacho is running ahead of her, and newbies Rikako and Murotan are taking some of her spotlight. Also, Berryz (Yurina) graduated so she may have felt it was her time to graduate as well. Nonetheless, she was always a stable and reliable member of S/mileage so her presence will be missed.

I am surprised because Fall is pretty damn close, but I am not surprised with her decision. 11 years since Egg is pretty damn long. Like she hinted, this probably has been decided for awhile, probably before New Year. I wonder she wants to do after graduation though. She never seems to show what else she want to do. She mentioned Youtuber when she was in YoungTown, but that sounds more like a joke.

Edit: the official announcement says that she will be returning to study in a University.

I saw a graduation coming after the whole name change and 3rd gen addition. She will be missed.

Interesting to say, I looking up and watching S/mileage/ANGERME stuff all day the last few days. Maybe I already had a feeling something bad was to arrive soon. ;_;
