Sato Masaki has graduated from Morning Musume. '21 and Hello! Project on December 13th @ Budokan

[Tobo_Junny135]

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.

Sad but not surprised or shocked.

Nice to see that she still intends on being an entertainer though.

[Jessi]

This is a sad day. I'm losing a favorite member. But I 100% understand. I hope she can focus on her health

[Doraleous]

Godspeed.

[vikitty]

I'm devastated. I have IBS and I just had this really bad feeling this was coming.

[Sohee]

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

Just curious as to what people think Masaki will pick as her swan song?

[Echidna]

sad, but not unexpected
my thoughts was that either her or Ikuta will graduate next, so...

hope, she will stay active in m-line

Just curious as to what people think Masaki will pick as her swan song?

No matter how much I think, I have no clue. I just come up with songs I'd like on the general setlist.
