Sayu announced that after her Yokohama arena graduation, shes taking a break, leaving (she called it "kyuugyou" - meaning to shutdown, shes closed for business) entertainment activities to rest her body and mind, a vacation.

wota think based on her words that shes just taking a vacation rather than retire completely.

<back for the big news, hi guys

^Well, saw that coming from the start... and to be perfectly honest I think it'd be best for her too. Her health has been a little worrying on more than a few occasions this last couple of years. And nobody in their right mind would say she hasn't earned a well-deserved rest.

I'm glad she leaves the possibility of her resuming activities open though, cause despite repeated attempts to steel myself for this exact situation... it would still really suck big time if she' taking Eri's course ~___~

[AyuHikaru]

I don't think we're going to see her in the spotlight after this, unless its on some variety shows. After her vacation I would not be surprised at all if she starts working for the Ido industry behind the scenes, either working closely with Tsunku or even starting her own group to produce. It's clear from a lot of her interviews she is heavily, heavily interesting in the backstage stuff.

[JonCC]

Have her take all the time she needs.
If anyone's earned a rest, it's certainly her.

Got my bill for my ticket~! As soon as I get that paid for and the days off from work, I will be officially going to this.

Was anyone else from jplop still planning on going as well? I know the tickets aren't really available yet, but I'm just curious who was going to try to come.

[Sohee]

Me, icey and her husband are trying to go.
But. No luck hitting for tickets, so we're gonna have to try to rely on resells.
And/or when the tickets go on sale on 11/1 but not gonna count on that. >>

[Shoujo Q]

I'm going with a friend.also failed on fan club so we'll need to rely on resale also. This is my first time so I'm running blind.

[forgetmenots]

I'm still in happy shock I didn't fail on fan club. I wasn't getting my hopes up. I hope you guys succeed in getting them via resale (and that they don't get too expensive either). I feel like because it's arena it shouldn't be so hard to get tickets @_@ but it IS Sayu's graduation...
