Fukuda Kanon to graduate from ANGERME and H!P on 11/29

[Menno]

Otsuka Aina, might be a maybe, since she left before J=J had their major debut.

If she doesn't count the last one is Maeda Yuuka from S/mileage in 2011.

Before that Ogawa Saki also in 2011 and Kanna and Erika from C-ute in 2009.

Ok, i meant to write "to have a graduation concert" included in that. xD
Because I know Aina didn't have one, neither did Yuuka nor Saki, nor did Kanna or Erika?

Out of curiosity, what are you trying to make a point about that you need to be so technical with the requirements?

I hope she's successful in her songwriting and that it offers her a healthy way of getting her ideas and feelings out in the open. It might be fun if she were given the chance to write the lyrics for an H!P act sometime in the future.

I think he's saying that, aside from MM and a group disbandment, it's been awhile since someone officially graduated (and got a proper graduation sendoff concert) in the main H!P lineup. I guess it was meant to be a trivia of sort but is kinda possibly too specific to be one.

Being that Kanon is one of the main singers in the group, old songs are going to sound so different without her. Tbh, her voice was a hit or miss for me since at times I found it way too nasally, but she does have a chockful of lines, and her voice in the group is pretty distinct. I wonder if Murota will be taking a majority of her lines when she's gone. I'd feel it'd be kinda nice if that happened just cause the two seemed to have gotten really close, but I would understand if they decide to train Kana/Rina into taking her lines.

I hope Kanon gets to write for ANGERME. That would be really awesome, you have to admit.

Umeda Erika had a graduation concert.

Other than that, I'd be really excited if Maro wrote her graduation song! Knowing her, it'd either convey her true feelings as an idol or some bratty weird song about how all of her fans went to the younger girls eventually (which is something she has talked about before) .

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

Jeiwa, that's exactly what I meant!
It doesn't seem so specific to me... o.o It's just, when was the last person (not people.) from a group to get a graduation concert?
The reason I said other than MM is because people graduate from MM all the time so it's much more common... but from other H!P groups it's much less common, so I was curious in that regard.

[Denki]

Yes! I'm happy that she's graduating at Budokan. That means ANGERME is getting a second Budokan shows this year.
