Ogawa Saki graduated from S/mileage and H!P

[22Tsuji22]

Nooooooooooooooooooo

She was my favorite aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I have no more words

This! ><

She was amazing! I remember when I saw a clip of her when she was an egg and I thought she had an amazing voice for such a tiny little girl! D: She didn't get to shine enough in S/mileage

What the ...
It is SO sudden ! I guess it isn't just because she wants to go to school. They just had a photoshoot for their new single few days ago. and why let her graduate on 27th ? She could wait for the fall tour to have a proper graduation. it would be logic.
Something happened for sure.

Maybe it is the new members thing. She didn't look very happy.

^
she had been asking for this since early may.
and she felt really stong about it too. (leaving ASAP)
so i think she is up to her limit on waiting and doesnt care if she gets a grad or not

[Amped]

^ yeah, i don't think she wants to wait any longer (the pain) and also she probably doesnt want the new members to get too attached.

shes still a kid, she wants to enjoy the rest of her life.

[DARC1993]

shes been in H!P for so looooong and she is varely 14 right?
i sorta understand her but i know she will regret this in the long run.
i mean she will realize that all the hard work she did for her self was basically usless once she is out of S/mileage

[Sohee]

Graduating on the 27th makes sense. Since most schools starts up the 1st after summer break, so once she goes back she'll just be a normal girl. And she can confess to the guy she likes. <3
But Saki... I'll miss her so much T____T

That is what they officialy say.
But yeah maybe...

And if they had announced it earlier it could be a bad promotion for the group and auditions right?

And

she can confess to the guy she likes. <3

Haha

I have two favorites in S/mileage and she's not one of them. Still, a graduation is always sad.

My best wishes for you, Saki. This is always a though decision. Without knowing it, you may have changed S/mileage's future forever. Whether you had stayed or not, and if what Tsunku say is true, you reignited the auditions concept, gave the opportunity to regular girls to become idols, and now S/mileage might just take over as the next big thing. And you will always be part it. Study hard and become whatever you wanna be!

If this is what she wanted, then I'm glad for her, but it is really shocking. Like, I'm not a huge S/mileage fan and it will be really weird not seeing her there. And their last single did so well too!

Good luck Saki
