Shimamura Uta has left Country Girls and Hello! Project as of 6/12

[Starra]

Due to contract disagreements between her family and UF* that couldn't be reached, Uta is no longer a member of Hello! Project. Country Girls will continue as 5 members.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!
The curse continues
And with probably what would have been one of the best faces of the group. ;-;
And also, for once, 2ch was right. ;-;
UTAAA!!!!!!! :C

I have a feeling it's probably to do with the no dating policy? (I feel like that's usually the issue?) That or the schooling thing.

Whaaaaaaaat?!?!???!??? This is such a great and unexpected loss i'm shocked to the core...

Strange, you'd think the contract would be locked up once they went ahead with the major debut.
Aina left Juice=Juice during the indie period.
Must have been some dispute.

Edit: And I think the H!P site just crashed upon this news.

Woah. @_@ Sudden much. Apparently there were disagreements regarding the contract and after that the family said that she "wanted to quit." (rather than "We didn't agree, so...")

So curious about how these contract look. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with lack of breaks or something since CG seem to have done a lot of events.

They might want to change the thumbnail of the MV embedded on the Country Girls part of the H!P site.
The one to the right of the group shot.

It's either the dating thing, the schooling thing, or the lack of breaks...
Though if she herself really did want to quit, it's probably the dating thing. xD
I wish someone would leak these contracts once so we could actually see what's in them. (though that would cause uproars, probably? so nevermind that...)

edit
The sites are crashing. xD That's how many people are probably on there right now freaking out too.

Tsugunaga Momoko''s reaction: http://ameblo.jp/countrygirls/entry-12038065150.html

im too shocked/sad and disappointed. country musume is such an unlucky group.
good thing Momo's here, the 4 girls alone aren't a stable enough group.

so if this is anything like Aina Im guessing they sign the contract first, later have a disagreement, then leave.
They really need to sort out these contract disagreements. Twice is already too much. This can't be good for the other new groups as well.

I thought I wasnt going to cry but Im already teary. Such a shame.

No wonder Chisaki is getting a push now.
Will she end up being the cute one now? =X
