Makes me wonder even more about Hina's abrupt departure and whether it's all because of tension between the members or tension between the members and management.

[Important notice about Hayashida Mahiro]

News about Hayashida Mahiro

Thank you for always supporting Youplus.

This time, regarding the member "Hayashida Mahiro",
as a result of discussions between the office and the person himself,
We have come to the decision that it will be difficult for us to work together
for the rest of the period as Youplus.
We would like to inform you that we have ended our activities as Youplus on July 29, 2023,
and have effectively been dismissed.

Although it was a short period of one month until the dissolution, we would like to apologize
from the bottom of our hearts for reporting in a way that betrayed the expectations of the fans who supported us.

It has been decided that Youplus will disband after the event on September 3rd,
but the rest of the activities will be carried out by Ogata Haruna and Nakanishi Kana,
so thank you for your continued support of Youplus.

Oh wow its just Kananan and Haruna now 

 

They should've just been a duo to begin with

I thought the girls are self-managed? Whatever it is, something serious must have happened. I mean it's just 1 month before the group officially disband, you mean she can't even wait till then?

They should've just been a duo to begin with 

Hahaha. Not that I don't agree but I thought they are not as popular as the other 2 girls?

Self-managed does not mean they do not have a management staff.

They are a small but polished group, and by that I don't mean just polished in their art, but polished in their production. Polish like that costs money so somebody might have invested in their potential with an expectaion of something of value in return. Maybe hoping for profits from music sales, product exposer during performance or promotion or increased sales due to social media collaboration (I'm looking at you BudLight)...

And thus, only the H!P members remain until the end. Really unfortunate.
Can only hope that maybe they'll just debut as a duo?

They should just get those independent ex-H!P members to form a super group. Maybe Meimi and Sayubee? Hehehe.

[Casidesia]

I can't imagine Sayubee doing group things anymore sadly, and Meimi has herself busy with other things, specifically musicals and other odd things.
