Tsugunaga Momoko announced her graduation from Country Girls and Hello!Project

Country Girls' Playing Manager Tsugunaga Momoko announced her graduation during their 2nd anniversary event. 
Tsugunaga has been with Country Girls eversince their reboot and fully joined them after Berryz Koubou went into indefinite haitus. She wanted to try being an idol for a bit longer and train her kouhai in Country Girls. Back then she already mentioned it being for only 2 or 3 years, so the new members would grow and learn from her before starting their own journey. 

Tsugunaga announced she will be graduating on the 30th of June, which will be her 15th anniversary in the entertainment industry. She also announced she will retire from the entertainment industry and start working in education, which she has been going to university for.

I want to thank Tsugunaga for all her hard work these past years and especially for all her work in Country Girls, as it couldn't have been easy. I think she will make a great teacher and the childeren will love her. Let's support Momoko and Country Girls until the 30th of July and way beyond!

[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.

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!
