She doesn't even get a proper graduation.

I don't really have another favorite in Tsubaki, so thanks a lot

[Moh]

Huh. I'm both surprised and not surprised.

[JonCC]

I'm really curious what kind of activities they (Ogata & Oota) will be doing next year.
Bouncing back from all this is doable but it's got to be handled well.

[teth]

Was Ogata doing anything solo? It’s almost like going to be building new career from scratch

(Oota...she needs to train harder cause she was definitely the weakest link )

[Shabranikuduu]

I'm sad to hear that though not entirely surprised. I'll miss her, she was one of my favourites in the group. I wonder what her future entertainment career will look like.

Interesting:

Same.

It feels like the writing is pretty much on the wall in these circumstances.

It is interesting to note about UF* looking into who the sources are though. From what I understand Risa's private(-ish) account didn't have that many followers so it shouldn't be too hard to narrow down the suspects.

On top of that, my personal suspicion is that there may have been a grain of truth to some of the stuff she did post. If it was all false why not just sweep it under the rug?

My second suspicion is that it may just be a grain of truth because depending on how this information got talked about through the grapevine the grains of truth likely snowballed into fiction that is were based in some fact but completely distorted.

I'll miss Risa though. Tsubaki seemed quite balanced with the numbe of lead/center capabale girls they had.

[Sohee]

I'm SO happy she stays in Upfront, cause that means she'll be kinda "available" jfkdlsjf And I'm curious to what she'll do.

But man, my interest in Tsubaki was already very low and with this? :')) Damn.

[Jessi]

I expected this. I’m proud of her for taking responsibility and wish her the best. I agree with her that it would be impossible for her to rejoin the group after what she had done, but I don’t think it means her career is over. I’m curious as to what it will look like, but either way this will blow over and she will be successful at whatever it ends up being.

As far as whether or not her posts had grains of truth or not, I don’t think it matters. UF has to set a precedent. If they let her say whatever she wants and slander her group members and the company, then they are leaving it open to happen again. That would just end up generating a lot of toxicity. I tend to think Japanese companies are strict, but I think this was a valid response. If you were to say negative things about your job or coworkers in any industry and it ended up leaking to the public you would most likely get fired.

That said I don’t think she is a bad person. She’s just young and didn’t understand the potential consequences of her actions. I feel like she’s learned from them and will continue to support her. I’m sure the rest of her fans will too.

[Solarblade]

Yeah to be honest, at the end of the day she did write those things truth or not, curious since UFP wants to find the person that leaked it, but it still regardless came from Risamaru at the point of it all.
