After Haa-chan's suspension I seriously doubted she would return to ANGERME for two reasons:
1. I think the other members were REALLY pissed off at her: Every member except (I think) Hashisako Rin posted about the suspension on Ameblo and if you account for Japanese politeness and indirectness, all the comments came across as pretty harsh other than Layla's. Even Layla's seemed to only be tempered by the fact Haruka is her generation-mate. Take-chan's, Ayano's and Momona's were particularly rough. Just putting Haa-chan on ice for a time just didn't seem to be enough to overcome this.
2. Since the suspension, Rin has developed nicely as a performer and IMHO Layla is really kicking it. I can't see how Oota-chan could be anywhere their skill level and that would just be awkward.
I hope Oota really does get to be a real solo artist or (more likely) placed in another unit. I have my doubts that will happen and that's sad because Haa-chan strikes me as being a sweet girl with quite a bit of potential.

Actually, the only place I could see now is in a reboot of Country Girls... It's not completely impossible for it to happen, but just very unlikely.
Idols are keeping me young since 2006.

To be honest, I think this is somewhat expected but surprising at the same time. I actually think she is most likely going to graduate/leave H!P entirely and restart her life as a "commoner" at the end of her suspension.
It does appear that the agency is somewhat "forgiving" and still give her the chance to restart. Is this consider a demotion? I don't really think so because she is not demoted to rejoin the Kenshuusei program since she has her own individual profile up on H!P website. As some suggested, likely she will take on a role similar to Manaka (prior to her J=J days) until her contract expires and the agency likely will not renew hers. I seriously don't think there is any other group currently that she can join, unless it's the Kenshuusei unit in the making.
And I am surprised to hear that the members of the group appear not to be so welcoming of her returning to the group and considering the members of Angerme seems to be kinda close-knitted?

I hope they don't reboot Country Girls. That brand name is cursed.

To be honest I think that's quite normal. You never know what Oota said to that wota, it could be personal information of other members as well. There's this feeling of betrayal.
Also, from what I remember, when she went on hiatus it sounded like other members knew about that "friendship" and told her to end it? They're probably angry that she didn't listen to them.
On the other hand, there might also be the feeling of "I sacrifice so much for the group, why can't you do the same, why do you get us into trouble?". Japanese culture is very group-orientated, which is why every bad behaviour of a single member is usually reflected onto the group they're with. That's why Kei and Yuuko had to write a post about Yossy's hit-and-run. That's why people go crazy every time there's an AV rumour about former members because it could "tarnish the image of the group", despite them having graduated 10 years ago.
In case of Takechan and Kawamuu it might leave a bad light on their leadership, too.

It has been announced that Oota Haruka has ended her activities.
I don't think it's a very easy decision to make.
It's a decision that she made after reevaluating herself and the group while refraining from activities.
To our members
She told us her thoughts directly, in her own words, with her own mouth.
When the suspension was announced, I, too, was filled with frustration, anger, sadness, regret, and other emotions that cannot be expressed in words.
No matter how many issues I confronted and faced, not everything was going to be cleanly resolved.
I've realized and reflected strongly over the past six months that I wasn't doing a good job of facing myself either.
During the period of stay at home,
I was able to keep in touch with Oota and talk to her about our respective feelings.
From now on, Oota's activities with Angerme have come to an end, and she has decided to return to her roots and work hard from scratch.
I've learned a lot of things from Oota-chan, so I'll keep that in mind as I work with her.
From now on, we will be separate, but I hope that we can each move in the right direction.
Yesterday, there was an announcement about Oota Haruka's future.
As a trainee of Hello Kenshuusei Hokkaido and a member of Hello Pro,
The period of time I worked with Haa-chan is an important one for me.
Especially as a fellow trainee, we overcame a lot of things and experienced a lot of things together.
This time, I want to support the choices that Haa-chan has thoughtfully made, and
I believe she will come back with a smile on her face.
When Haa-chan comes back,
I hope I will be more grown up.
Until we can work together again, let's keep each other going!

Many members posted about her coming back, but ultimately the group leader decided it was not permissible. I trust Takechan on her intuition about a person

Although these are old news, I feel they were too harsh on the girl. Members have done worse things and yet have not been treated the same way as Haachan. This is just my opinion. I really hope we hear back from her in the near future and she makes a great future for herself.

There seems to be a small update on Oota's situation: http://www.up-front-...on/detail/13404
As far as google translate tells, she will still continue taking lessons, but is now also following the goal of enrolling collage next spring.
The feeling I got from this announcement is that Haruka might have been offered a chance to re-debut, but choose school as her current priority...? Dunno...

It's actually quite nice for the management to provide an update on her. This shows at least they care about her and not kept her hidden till her contract expires.
And to think she got an update as opposed to Minami of KF, who is still with UF but you hear nothing about her.

Maybe she doesn't want to redebut but she is just doing something before enter to college.
Happpy to know something about her.

I really have a hard time believing they'd add her to the new group personally, and I can't see her being a soloist.
I...really don't see any other paths for her right now. But who knows, she may have secretly been working hard during her absence.

If she has been working super hard, it might be that her skills have improved a lot, then who knows where she will be added?? I am personally hoping for a new group to debut next year (I know, super unlikely considering all the debuts this year...), with Oota as the leader, but we'll see I guess.
