Apparantly, Kisora has been thinking about this since last year, doesn't seem much more info was given. No date yet.

[Shoujo Q]

I didn't have Kisora graduating on my H!P Bingo card this year. I was hoping she'd wait at least a year tolet the dust settle in Tsubaki after the triple graduation last year before jumping ship. But oh well.

Tsuabki will more than likely be getting new blood soon.

[DonJuan]

She will apparently also leave entertainment business. To be fair that makes sense, I don't think she had anything aside from Tsubaki.

Anju vibes from Tsubaki.

[Shoujo Q]

Yeah. Totally getting the Anju vibes with Tsubaki. But man do I feel lucky I really LOVE the 2nd gen. Because if it weren't for them, I'd probably would be getting the Anju blues.

[JPope]

I'm honestly not shocked by this, and I wouldn't be surprised if Ami followed her this fall. Tsubaki lost their face, their leader and their voice in one year. It's just not the same group anymore. Not gonna lie, I'm looking forward to Ami being leader, even if it's only for a few month, lol. And speaking of Anju, I could see TF being a candidate for an image and name overhaul after Ami departs.

[DonJuan]

Graduation date is June 10 at Budokan.

[Solarblade]

Announced at Tsubaki's final tour stop, Tanimoto will become leader as Ono becomes sub-leader once Niinuma graduates

[JPope]

Are we getting an OG Tsubaki reunion for Kisora's graduation show?

[Shoujo Q]

^ Ues. H!P mentioned it awhile back. Maybe they did this because Yumeno couldn’t join in last time and Kisora is retiring and leaving up-front so this will officially be the last time they can all be together.

[DonJuan]

Kinda cute. I'm glad they actually get all together despite the past (looking at you, Risa).

[JPope]

Hockey fans will understand this; others, not so much, lol!

[DonJuan]

Cute stage.

[AquaChan]

I'm totally fine with "Uruwashi no Camellia" being the Suki na Senpai for Tsubaki.

[Shoujo Q]

^I was thinking the same thing. Uruwashi no Camellia is a great newbie song for the girls.

[JPope]

I'm totally fine with "Uruwashi no Camellia" being the Suki na Senpai for Tsubaki.

YES.
