Tanaka Reina graduated from MM & H!P, 5/21 @ Nippon Budokan

[Sohee]

As stupid as it is, I'm not ready for this.
I hope half a year will make me be okay with this in May.

Not shocking, sad or anything. One of the most painless graduations ever since she graduates to star her own band. Not a Pandas situation where they really don't want to leave, had a really crappy run and we the fans pretty much stopped knowing anything about them.

[sb]

Yea everyone knew she was next and it was coming soon. We just finally get the official announcement.

I'll miss her of course. And in the back of my mind, if the Tsunk automatically pushes Sakura to the front, essentially replacing Reina, she'll have massive shoes to fill.

[wotakubrandon]

Won't miss her at all. Bring on Sakura.

[Echidna]

still shoked, I'm not ready for this

and second vocalist looks like Yuki Maeda dnw

[UreChiissa]

I'm totally okay with it actually, she will be so much better in a band IMO.
Momusu needs to show more of their fresh faces and I can't say I'm not happy to see that Sayu is sticking for a little while longer...

It seems surreal how 8 years ago I got into MM and Reina became my favorite immediately because she was the youngest and therefore closest to my age.

We all knew it was coming soon, and I'm glad she'll have her band. It'll also be interesting to hear MM that has a different lead (and hopefully Riho keeps improving).

^hopefully
man i wish she stuck around for a year, even though i knew it was coming ever since tsunku's announcement that she was going to have a band. Not looking forward to the Riho/Sakura combi.

[Jessi]

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...we were so right!

[Chibs]

hmm sayu will prolly leave at the end of the year then? she will stick out like a sore thumb after reina is gone.
