It was mentioned that Sato will be featured for one more single at the end of the year. I know there’s probably not much time but I hope there’s a graduation single with it, and I mean an actual graduation single and not a solo cover like Musubu and Murotan got. Maachan at least deserves that as her farewell to Morning Musume
I'm so sad that her health is forcing her to graduate. It's the best decision given the circumstances but I will miss her in MM. Still, I hope she is able to start a solo career and I wish her all the best in her future endeavours.
I kinda expected this to happen but goddamn I hate it when health issues are the reasons for girls graduating. It's not fskn fair.
SO relieved that she will stay with UF and keep doing stuff though. I'm sure being solo will make her even more stressed at first, but I hope that not feeling responsible for holding the group back and stuff will make it a bit easier for her at least. <3
