In light of recent events, Time to speculate.
No Kita Rio Announcement on 1st of the month, so her contract did not end on June 30th. Some say it's because of the HULU show.
The Oda grad announcement came a week early on the day which should have given us Kita Rio's fate.
Niina Joins J=J in a surprise announcement, so no Uta-hime replacement for Oda.
These two seemingly rushed announcements make be believe that there is a bomb about to be dropped in the H!P-verse.
No Oda grad in the fall means that J=J Yoko Arena is a done deal
The Niina news and Oda news makes me tend to lean Kitagawa returning to MM.

I’m highly speculating a winter J=J graduation now that Niina is in a group that honestly didn’t need anyone added. Be it Ruru, Rei or Risa. One of them is next to go in my eye. Not that I want any of them to go, but you don’t need to add the ace KSS to a group unless you are expecting someone to eventually leave.


After Ikuta leaves I expect a summer H!P auction with focus on Morning and Angerme. Maybe the others if they find someone of note.

Their lack of news on Kitagawa is killing me. Just and my misery please!

H!P Audition announcement is bound to happen at the summer con in a couple of weeks.
I am really worried about who leaves from Juice though... I expect it and I'm super scared it'll be Rei T__T My absolute favorite in all of current H!P. But I would love it if we were proven wrong and no one leaves :D

If we don't hear anything about Rio this week, she's not returning for the graduation. Which would be fine, I guess. But I just... want to hear that she's returning. XD
Please don't leave. :(

I always joked to myself that Arisawa Ichika is going to graduate at 30 years old kicking and screaming, but the way MM is going, Haga Akane might beat her to it.
