If it's internal differences, from member(s), it doesn't have to be about Mayuyu. It could very well be that she's happy where she's at, and would love to do more Warota. But what about Harugon? Releasing singles and so on necessarily means appearing on TV shows, doing photoshoots, interviews, and so on - in Japan. Harugon is experiencing quite a lift in Indonesia at the moment, where she's one of the most popular members there. Akicha is not as popular as her. So considering just how much Harugon supposedly loves Indonesia, maybe she wants to continue focusing on Indonesia without losing her momentum.

Arguing for Rabutan wanting out of the group if that was the case I find a little bit more difficult since she's in Japan already, but does she lose anything by not continuing in Warota? Not really. She is busy in HKT48 and occasionally with AKB48 these days, and I am sure she wants to continue with AKB48 as well. Ayarin definitely would want to remain in the group, as she doesn't have much else to do... not much to do in general... But like I said above, it's just a rumor. It may be legit, it might not be, and we don't know. Many possibilities for why there's an internal difference. Of course, it could be that they just don't care about continuing the group anymore, and by they I mean Pony Canyon. Since there's no such statement, we can't confirm or deny that either.

All we know, is that 25th of December is their final release.

That is the same reason I ruled Harugon out. She wanted out of AKB and decided to remain JKT so I don't know how she would like to remain in WH.

 

That is why I believe that the rest of the members, apart from Mayuyu, wouldn't want to ditch extra work and exposure outside AKBG. This is what they have: WH.

 

But to believe that there are some things all members want to do, that makes them unable to continue with WH, is to have something that these members will soon do, some individual work or something. Mayuyu has her solo career, I guess for some reason she could feel like focusing on that, but what about the rest? Maybe they will just announce some extra work soon, like in the following weeks or months? Or, could it be that we will soon have graduations from some of these members like I said? For the "dispute because of different prospects" argument to hold some ground we would need something from the previous. That is why it doesn't make any sense to me.

 

A dispute as in members not wanting to be with each other. Try to picture these members telling management they don't want to continue WH because they can't stand X girl. That is not only unprofessional, but would make management question how serious these members are with their work. It is hard to believe any member would do this. It is cutting their own legs. It is hard to believe especially when they share AKBG and they have to deal with each other there anyway.

 

I think it would be very believable to see management ending WH if Mayuyu decides to leave for whatever reason. We can't hide the Sun with the palm of our hand, Mayuyu is Kami7 and unless they can substitute her with a member that they think can draw equal or more amount of sells, I bet they would believe WH would become a shadow of itself, sales wise.

 

I am giving some thoughts on Pony Canyon releasing WH. I would like to know how profitable WH has been for them. I would like to know how is the relationship with OgiPro and what are their plans. About OgiPro, I would like to know what are their expectancies and their willingness to keep contracts with the members, to know if whether they are thinking on dropping some of them or not. There are so many explanations to which we could attribute this sh@tty news.

Watarirouka Hashiritai to Disband on Christmas After 5 Years of Activities, Releasing "Best Of" Album

It was announced on the 13th that the subunit Watanabe Mayu is attached to, Watarirouka Hashiritai, will be disbanding. Among the reasons that lead to this decision was for the sake of Watanabe's personal growth, who debuted solo last year. A "Best of" album will be released on December 25th, putting an end to approximately 5 years of activities.

Watarirouka Hashiritai was formed in October 2008 with the concept of "school life" with 4 members, Watanabe Mayu (19), Nakagawa Haruka (21), Oota Aika (18), Hirajima Natsumi (21, graduated), who were all in either middle school or high school at the time.

The members have started down various roads, and an official said, "The group was formed while all the members were still in school, but all of them have already graduated from high school. The purpose of the group, where each member could grow with their own personality, has been fulfilled."

"It's been an extremely comfortable place where I could be myself, a fun place. Please don't forget about Warota (abbreviation of Watarirouka Hashiritai)!" said Watanabe. "If I have to say something, Warota was my youth," added Oota. Hirajima, who graduated from the group last February, said "If AKB is about friends, Warota was a sisterhood." Finally, Nakagawa stated, "I'm looking forward to seeing how we'll all look after continuing our growth in different places," vowing to make rapid progress.

The album will be a 5 disc set, with 3 CDs collecting all 46 songs as well as 2 DVDs with music videos and live footage.

[Krusha]

Well, I think this needs to be ordered. 5800 Yen for 3 CD's and 2 DVD's is quite good.

[Krusha]

CD jackets revealed: http://mdpr.jp/news/detail/1302830

Members featured: Nacchan, Ayarin, Harugon, Mayuyu, Rabutan, Wasamin, CinDy

[Krusha]

Warota will appear at MUSIC JAPAN on 12/2 (also NMB48 and HKT48 will be there):

https://pid.nhk.or.j...8501/index.html

[droopy10]

Wonder if Nacchan will be there as well since she is on the cover?

[Krusha]

Good question. The fact that she is on the cover at least shows they're promoting her as part of it still, so I wouldn't be surprised if she performs as well.

[cl7z]

 Will be interesting to see Nacchan performing again!

[Krusha]

Music Japan recording has been completed! The song performed will be 完璧ぐ～のね / Kanpeki Gu~no ne.

 

And Rabutan uploaded this photo: 

 

Nacchan, Wasamin, Rabutan, Mayuyu, CinDy, Ayarin -- Harugon not present, as she's in Jakarta, Indonesia (although one would think it ought be possible to travel...)

Interview with Warota: 

http://www.sponichi....5007268700.html

 

They pretty much say that the rumor of there being internal problems is a lie. 

[Yunku1990]

Just got my copy of the album today. Bought myself the complete one. my photo was Kazumi Urano (she wasn't there until the last single right?

 

The way they set up the case is awesome too.

The middle section pops up and has the other two cds.

 

Honestly, i'm really going to miss Watarirouka Hashiritai, I think it was giving my oshi something to do and be promoted in (my oshi btw is Ayarin!)

What i also need right now are all the instrumentals... that's what i'm missing.
so if someone could help me with that i would be very thankful.

 

Especially because when i checked on Hatsukoi Dash on CDjapan, they said out of print (even for the regular edition)

A question:

 

I remember reading about the final concert and seem to remember they said it would be released on DVD/BR.

Can anyone confirm this?

[Yunku1990]

Hey you're actually right, 

seriously it's being released

HOWEVER ITS ON 7NET.

http://www.7netshopp...b48/warota.html

[sidhme]

Wow!

 

Thank you, Yunku1990!
