Pyonpyon!!! I know for many fans it seemed like she was being held back recently, for some unpublicized reason, so I should have expected this. Still, one of my top ten favorite members leaving the group is very sad news. And a Senbatsu like her, no less. She must have her reasons, and if she thought the timing to graduate now was best, then I can't blame her. Farewell and hope she gets success. I hope to still see her outside AKB.
