Aarii is graduating the group after the next Spring tour.

[DonJuan]

Sigh. I was wondering how long she'd stay, but it's still sad to see her go. At least we still have half a year left.

Well... that's the end of the Juice=Juice that I fell in love with.

[JPope]

Damn. That'll be four group leaders in basically one year's time, and another end-of-an-era graduation. Not many H!P idols make to 26, though, so this isn't much of a surprise, and the emergence of Ebata over the past year or so softens the blow a little. J=J is definitely a different group, but they're still really good.

[arcobaleno]

Awwww, I’m sad, but excited for the next chapter of her life. I wonder what she will do after graduating?

[JPope]

[DonJuan]

I wonder what she will do after graduating?

Good question. She's never been one to do much stuff on the side.

Man, the grads just come and go before I remember when they're happening, lol. Was this show not broadcast, because I'm not seeing clips from it on Twitter like I did with Kisora's grad.

[Shoujo Q]

Yes it was broadcast and even streamed. You should check the H!P discord. They plan on streaming all the graduation concerts. I almost missed watching it. I came in near the end.

[JPope]

Yeah, I usually check in there when I know a grad concert is coming up, but I've spaced on the last two.

[Shoujo Q]

Yeah, I usually check in there when I know a grad concert is coming up, but I've spaced on the last two.

Well to give you an update. Rikako graduates on the 19th and the Yuhane graduates on 27th. Both are more than likely to be streamed as they have live viewings attached to them.

And then July 13th we’ll have the first full Hello!Project concert tour since winter 2020. So I expect a lot of H!P news to be dumped around that concert.
