Oh wow budoukan! Since it's not until September I bet they'll have a build up campaign for it. Really exciting news!

"Kagami no Naka kara" will be used as the 6th ending theme song of "Gegege no Kitaro".

Fujikawa Chiai has suspended activity for the time being due to physical & mental instability which has made it difficult for vocal performance. Return time is undecided.

Fujikawa Chiai (23) just announced her graduation! The Budokan live will be her last live!

First, Kawaoto Nozomi, and now, this?

[RenaiDestiny。]

One of my favorite jpop idols.... At least she’ll recieve the proper treatment. Can’t believe I’m losing her and Chiyuri this year.

[Blu-Cherri]

This is pretty upsetting to say the least. The group really seemed to be gaining traction too... I feel like this could be a tough blow to them.

[Blu-Cherri]

Whew this thread hasn't been updated in a while...

So Chiai graduated at budokan and it was a glorious concert(I recommend the blu-ray, it's really very good!)

 

Maneki filled their 5th slot after performing as only 4 for a while(they sang Chiai's lines in unison)

Her name is Shinohara Aoi - her colour is green, her animal is penguin and her element/affinity is nature

 

And Chiai just released her solo single

Kimi no namae

 

[minae_nayuki]

Aoi-chan is...... okay i think

 

i saw in NPP2019 she fits right in, but absolutely not a replacement for Chiai in vocal departement

[Blu-Cherri]

Well I doubt they were even trying to replace Chiai's vocals with Aoi, that's pretty clear lol. Looks like they've been giving Reona some vocal lessons to me. They moved Reona into Chiai lines and Mio into Reona lines.

Aoi seems so sweet, I think they're trying to keep the number of women fans up with a member like Aoi as I know Chiai had a lot of women fans.
