Seems to be a disagreement between family and agency?

 

 

   

I know H!P is kind of a non-negotiation kind of company, but this may have been one they should have haggled on a bit.

[AmaSusE]

Yes....H!P just lost a big fish.

 

 

I actually feel a bit sick about this .... awww, Utachan. After they were so happy that she followed her mom's footsteps  ...whatever could they disagree about? It's not like UFP is some kind of loli agency....

Oh come on can you guys cut the crap based on your own close minded opinions already? Just because you don't like some of the stuff in photobooks doesn't mean this results in the termination of a contract. You're making things up. I get it that people are hurt by having to see her leave but this is the wrong way to speculate

[Ayaachan]

How did UFP let Uta leave!?

 

 

She was a phenomenon! Without a doubt the most popular newbie!! Seriously :\

 

It's already on the trends: 11. Country Girls 18. Momoko 31. Shimamura Uta

? but... but Amasuse is saying that the photobooks are tame... so it probably wouldn't be an issue.

 

^I agree, they just let go of a potential Airi...

That probably is what happened. Bigger girls sometimes have bigger demands, maybe H!P just didn't want to cooperate. Her family is pretty well-versed in the subject and know the elasticity of their potential contract. If it isn't necessarily a passion of Uta's, I could see her yielding immediately.

Uhm yeah -- what? Care to elaborate what your problem is...? Or was is just a misunderstanding?

 

FYI, I have no problem with the photobooks.

[AitorKamei]

Probably her parents (and Utachan herself) don't like the life as an idol. I think she enjoyed to perform, but she didn't like old fans. Actually, Uta-chan had reaaallly obsessive fans.

[sanos]

Either the family was asking for too much or she didn't really like the idol life

【Shimamura Uta - GRADUATION FROM COUNTRY GIRLS】
【カントリーガールズ・島村嬉唄ちゃんに関して、卒業のお知らせです】
Thank you for always supporting Hello! Project.

This has become a sudden report, but we have to announce the midterm cancellation of Country Girls member Shimamura Uta's contract.

Shimamura Uta, when Country Musume changed its namme to Country Girls, started performing with the group last November. And on March of this year she accomplished her major debut single with Country Girls.

After that, as during this time we had difficulty in the process of discussing her future with her family numerous times, including the matter of continuing her life with the idol group Country Girls, it has become obvious that we would not be able to complete our discussions. During this time, her family has said that they do not want her to continue, so as a result the management of our firm will be taking the responsibility to decide that her family's wishes be proceeded with. As of this current time, her contract has reached the stage where it is to be cancelled.

For this reason, with the exception of Country Girls' lead supervisor Mai Satoda, Country Girls will become a 5-person group. The remaining members have accepted that this has become reality, and have decided that they will work harder from now on.

For all of our fans who have become worried about this, we are extremely, very sorry that this has become a problem. From here on, we sincerely hope you will continue to support Country Girls.

Being so shy, and instantly being given center position.. Maybe it was too much for her...?

[thennarynak]

This is heartbreaking news. Uta was my favorite member for the start and I wanted to see how she would grow as an idol.

 

I wish her the best of luck in whatever she does from now on though and hope she can do whatever makes her happy.

[Jessica102256]

Im not gonna lie but i saw this comming. I didn't want it to happen but she didn't look like she enjoyed being n idol like the other girls. she looked out of place

[CelestialCitadel]

^I think that's what attracted people to her. Her awkwardness. 

[ichibanb]

Really sucks, but it is what it is.  She had tons of potential. :/

[Krusha]

And there you go. Seems the rumor was correct.

[musaru]

Oh... why?

She is my favorite in Country Girls. 

[DomScatterbrain]

The correct term is "Leaving" not "Graduated"

[spiro150]

maybe  the pressure was high for her , at the training dance she look lost, but I think she will improves

[GBA]

big loss for UF too, because Uta was like the icon of CG. remember the CM for their single?

 

her parents maybe want her to focus on study?

or maybe they feel insecure with some fans who leak the old stuff...

 

sad news but hope uta for the best (and come back to H!P)
