[Nayok-Kihara]

Marina was asked about LovendoR's activities during a fishing interview.

――売り込んで、2度目からはオファーを受けるというのは良い形ですね。LoVendoЯの活動についてはいかがですか？

今LoVendoЯの活動については明確なお知らせはまだできないんですが、ファンの方が活動を待ってくれているというのはちゃんと届いてます。おかまりんの活動は本当に良い経験になっていて、LoVendoЯに戻ったら、スタッフさん、お客さんにこれでもかっていうくらい感謝すると思います。そういう恩返しをするために、今は自分にできることを頑張って、スキルアップをして、もっと色々なことを吸収していかないと。そういう積み重ねで身に付けたものを持って、LoVendoЯをいい形で再開できればと思います。

It roughly just says she can't comment directly on LovendoR activities, but she knows fans are waiting for something. Her activities as OkaMarin have been enjoyable, and she appreciates the staff and the fans. In order to show how grateful she is she wants to work hard and absorb/learn more so she can resume LovendoR in good form.

Thanks for the news!

They let Marina out of the dungeon. She just released 2 new digital singles: "Isshi Tsurenai no Uta" and "Strange Flower."

As a self professed synth-slut, I can not recommend Strange Flower more highly. I loved what I heard in the itunes sample!

[davidguy3237]

Isshi Tsurenai no Uta is like a year old at this point and they only released it now? It sounds great though

 

EDIT: I just bought and listened to both songs. They sound really great, too bad there won't be any promotion for them.

Any further news on LoVendoR's activities? It would be so sad to see them fizzle out like this, but I also can't see them gaining any second wind with the way they were going and being managed :/

[Zoe]

What in the world are they doing with this group?

With the other OG, they're getting digital releases as soon as they start performing songs, but there's no hint of that for Reina's solos. And now they're showing OkaMarin songs on Upcoming but, again, no sign of releasing them.

[davidguy3237]

now Marin has solo stuff

[RenaiDestiny。]

Okada Marina has announced her graduation: http://lovendor.jp/news/1902271

They haven’t announced the fate of the group yet, but I’m 90% sure disbandment is the only road they can take from here. They had a nice run.

[Ahornbjörn]

She wants to do more fishing :/

I'm guessing this group is pretty much done, then. What a shame, seeing as there was so much talent between them. I'm also let down by the hopes I had as a Reina fan - there was so much excitement surrounding the conception of Lovendor and what it meant for Reina to be at the helm of her own group, but at this point she's pretty much like any other MM OG, doing stage-plays and making guest appearances at H!P concerts. I guess that's better than nothing at all...

So OkaMari has now graduated?

[Ahornbjörn]

and Nee-san was there too

Reina was apparently not even at the concert...I'm not sure what that says about what was going on with the group internally

It doesn't mean anything necessarily. Reina could just have other contractual commitments. 

[davidguy3237]

Maybe, but it's still a grad concert. Even Uozumi Yuki was there, and she hasn't been in the band for 3 years. I'm not even sure when the last time Reina even met up with any of them was.

[Nayok-Kihara]

LoVendoЯ will officially suspend activities at the end of July 2019, decided after discussions with the two remaining members following Okada's graduation in March. Miyazawa Marin's exlusive management contract with Up Front will also end in July.
