C-ute to disband in 2017

Yesterday several newspapers announced the disbandment of C-ute.
This has been confirmed soon after by management and C-ute themselfs.
The group announced they will break up as a group in June of 2017
C-ute had been thinking about stopping eversince Hagiwara Mai got 20, but as they hadn't preformed at their dream stage, they didn't want to break up yet.
So when management announced to them they would preform at Saitama Super Arena, their dream stage, the girls decided this would also be their last stage as a group. 
Ofcourse they thought about going on as a group outside of H!P, but C-ute found that the group was an important part of H!P and couldn't take it away. They also thought about putting the group on Haitus, like their fellow H!P Kids members Berryz Koubou did. Yet the girls thought it would be best if they "broke up" after their SSA preformance. 
C-ute will not be taking part in the Hello!Pro winter concert of 2017, to focus on their last single and concert tour. This means the group is currently preforming in their last Hello!Pro concert. 
More details will probably be announced soon, as they will probably make an official, tearful statement during todays Hello!con. 

For me this means after June of 2017 only Momoko and Ayaka will be around from the time I became a Hello!Pro fan, which is really weird. I have to say I am much less shocked with C-ute ending acitivities than with Berryz Koubou. Maybe because I really saw this coming. I kind of had 2017 in my mind as the last year with C-ute. Yet it makes me sad to see them go, as they are a great group with great song and an amazing history. Let's all support C-ute till the very end and look forwards to some new releases (last single, best of album etc etc).

[Breaking] Wada Ayaka announces graduation

Image
Hello!Project's and ANGERME's leader Wada Ayaka announced her graduation. She will be graduating at the end of ANGERME's Spring tour of 2019. Wada Ayaka is one of the longest serving Hello!Project members as the only 1st generation member of S/mileage/ANGERME and Hello!pro Egg's first generation still part of Hello!Project. Ayaka says she has been thinking about it for about a year. She will do her best for her last year as a member. Eventhough Ayaka has been a member of Hello!Project for so long, this announcement is so suprising. Especially since she won't be graduating for over a year.  One way or the other, I hope Ayaka gets to do what ever she wants with her life, as she has been giving is so much from hers.

[BREAKING] Ogata Haruna announces graduation

It was announced that Morning Musume's 12th generation member Ogata Haruna will be graduating from Morning Musume and Hello!Project. Ogata will graduate at the end of Morning Musume '18's Spring Tour at Nippon Budokan on June 20th. It was stated that she wants to focus on her education as she didn't get into University last year. Ogata wants to do a special program and Idol activities do not fit into something like that.  O My God. I can not believe a 12th generation member is already leaving! This is such sad news. Yet it is really amazing that Ogata choose the path for herself! Education is important. Let's support her and Morning Musume until the end!
