The update we've been waiting for is not a good news: http://www.up-front-...on/detail/14333

 

Effective immediately, Haachan will leave HP and UFP to focus on her new dream as she continues her studies.

 

Direct Google Translate, with a bit of editing, from the announcement:

 

 

To everyone who has supported us so far

 

Thank you for supporting Hello!Project.

 

As I realized that things that were taken for granted were no longer taken for granted due to the corona disaster.

I thought about my future face to face and decided to move on to my next goal.

I am very sorry for those who have been waiting.

 

I decided to go on to school this time, and I was able to find a dream.

I will graduate from Hello!Project and move toward a new dream.

I want to cherish this dream.

 

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all those who have supported and supported us.

Thank you for this future, Hello!Project!

Thank you for what you have done!

Not surprised, they had no intention to do anything with her, she wasn't popular enough to get a free pass...

We all knew that she would never appear again as a h!p member, so i'm happy she's moving on. Now i'm waiting she randomnly show up on instagram I really miss my poor Haa-chan.

Oh well. It's expected. I am just surprised they kept her in the limbo for this song. Wonder if her contract has expired or they decided to let her go.

All the best to her in her future endeavours.

This has also made the news. From Natalie:

Any reaction from Layla, who had stayed friends with her?

I haven't seen any but about the only good thing out of this mess is seeing Layla stick with her generation-mate.

A very sweet blog from Layla to her friend:

Very sweet indeed. What a great friend.

I really don't think H!P ever had plans for her.  I also hope she opens up an Instagram or something like that, perhaps a youtube channel just for the fun of it.  I'm pretty sure her contract was over and they were able to release her.  I wonder what Layla wrote to her.
