I guess it makes sense why Tsubaki isn't debuting until 2017.

Man, it really sucks since I thought they might last longer. But at least they're graduating at SSA. It's been awile since a H!P group performed there.

And the 25 age cap still stands. I wonder if Momochi will break it or will also graduate in 2017.

[Celedam]

Well, that answers that.

C-ute Disband in June next year.
They all turned over 20.
They decided the disband because each members has their own dream now.
They stop their activities on their dream stage, Saitama Super Arena in June.
According to the five, they started thinking about the disband in February.
They considered about it when the youngest member Hagiwara Mai turned 20.
They decided the disband "It's the time"
Yajima Maimi will be an actress.
Suzuki Airi will be a newscaster or versatile actress.
Nakajima Saki will be a travel reporter.
Okai Chisato "I'll survive in the variety shows"
Hagiwara Mai " I wanna work in apparel world
---- ---
Suzuki Airi said "I have lived as an Idol for 15 years. In Saitama, I'll perform as an Idol till the end of end "
Okai Chisato said "It's a best timing we can shine brightest "
When they told Tsunku about the disband. he said
"The day has come. Seize the joy that you can sing and dance and do your best till the end"

[Mirai]

Welp. Not like I really couldn't see it coming but.... (Also, Airi's plan isn't to stay in music...?)

[Denki]

Airi seems to be following Konno Asami's footsteps. Honestly, I can see UF possibly losing her.

-----
Now it makes sense why they didn't filmed for DVD/BD last time they were at Nakano Sun Plaza. They were specifically waiting for today's show and the big news it contains.

[Zunu]

ugh I feel an unpleasant ache in the pit of my stomach

[Shoujo Q]

I'm sad.

[Amped]

at least they told us a year in advance

[Zunu]

True. I'll take some consolation if Buono! continues to be an ongoing concern, even if it's just occasional like episodes of Sherlock. Like Mirai said, it seems tragic for Airi to not stay in music in some capacity. I'd love to see her and Maimi become a singing/acting duo like a Japanese "Twins."
