Suzuki Kanon will be graduating from Hello! Project at the end of Morning Musume。'16's spring concert tour. She wants to do something to help people, it seems.

[Denki]

Well, she did wanted to become a teacher a couple of years ago. At least she's doing something she likes (helping others).

Well, that's one more Qki member less. ;a;

[Moh]

Dang it I'm actually upset about this one.

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

I was just thinking that, wow, the kyuukies are slowly going.. ;-;
Erina's gonna be next, I call it.
Can't say I didn't expect this, but I'm also pretty sad because Kanon has a great voice and personality, and I'm sure this is gonna hit the foreign community hard. (Especially after seeing their reaction to her in NY)

The H!P site seems to have so much traffic right now that it won't let me get on.

Concerning Kanon Suzuki from Morning Musume。’16

Thank you for your continued support towards Hello! Project and Morning Musume。'16. Kanon Suzuki, Morning Musume。'16 member, will graduate from Morning Musume。'16 and Hello! Project at the end of Morning Musume。'16 Spring tour.
Kanon Suzuki entered Morning Musume。 as a member of the 9th generation in 2011 and then performed for more than 5 years. She reported last year “I want to study to have a work related to the welfare”. After a discussion, it came to the conclusion of graduating at the end of the Spring Concert Tour of 2016.
After her graduation she will follow another road, but I think she can take advantage of those 5 years of activities and experiences and she voluntary leaves with her own cheerfulness character and smile, and we will support her.
During the remaining time until her graduation, she will try her best more and more as a Morning Musume。’16. Please continue to support Morning Musume。’16 and Kanon Suzuki.

I, Kanon Suzuki, will graduate from Morning Musume。’16 and Hello! Project at the end of the Morning Musume。’16 Spring Tour.
After I became a member, 5 years have passed, I thought about lots of things since last year about the current version of me and about my future. During those 5 years, I have been able to meet many people as Morning Musume。, I had many experiences and I have learned many important things about living. I became a member of Morning Musume。 I admired since I was small, and I believe through our activities we made many people smiled with our songs and performances. I do not know how far those feelings reached everyone but I really tried my best at the fullest.
Since last year I seriously thought about my future, and since I was really small I thought "I want to help people" so from now on, what can I do? Every activities as Morning Musume。was meaningful and fun, and during one of them, the event "SATOYAMA movement", "SATOUMI movement", I have been in contact with people with a beautiful smile and I thought little by little it would be great if I can do the same work.
There are many forms of "Being helpful to people"... but from now on, I feel strongly that I want to help people in another way, I want to make people smile, I want to make them happy. For this first step, I decided "I want a work related to the welfare" to go towards to my dream.
For that reason, as a human I have to experience and study various things.
Not as "Kanon Suzuki from Morning Musume。", but as "Kanon Suzuki", in order to live this life, I have decided to graduate to fulfill my new dream.
I will continue Morning Musume。 activities to make those activies nourishe me, also to cherish the time as Morning Musume。 and to not forget the feeling of gratitude I receive from everyone.
Thank you for Morning Musume。'16 and for Kanon suzuki.

Kanon wants to be a social worker

[PikoAshy]

I was just thinking that, wow, the kyuukies are slowly going.. ;-;
Erina's gonna be next, I call it.

Take it back or I will Cut You

[Denki]

Auditions make sense now, and why it was so soon.

Hopefully the audition winners aren't announced close to her graduation.

Eripon ain't ready yet. She needs to be a center for a single first, then decided what the wants to be.

It may not be in the near future. I'm saying that in general, the way things are going, Erina's in my opinion the most likely to graduate next.

But let's not make this thread about Erina, it's Kanon's thread. If you want to talk about that, take it over to the musings thread. I shouldn't have made the comment on this thread in the first place.

[boinsie]

Wow, the Texas concert is going to be crazy emotional.

I'm glad for her!! Social work is very commendable.

[Shoujo Q]

Zukki! T__T

I'll miss her smile, she had the best. At least I'll get to see her one last time in Houston.
