Akari Yamada Announces Withdrawal From Yumemiru Adolescence

[onesnowyday]

 

It was announced via the Yumemiru Adolescence official website on March 31, 2017 that Akari Yamada will leave the group due to contract violations. Akari has been voluntarily refraining from group activities since January 7, 2017 after speculations of contract violation were made known. She reported, “I am truly sorry for causing trouble about the incident during the New Year’s season. After having several consultations with the staff, I have decided to graduate from Yumemiru Adolescenceâ€.

 

She apologized for ending her activities in this way and concluded by stating, “The times I spent as a member of Yumemiru Adolescence was a treasure. Everything that happened around me was a significant and valuable experience. Thank you very muchâ€.

 

Yumemiru Adolescence was active as a 5-member group with Karin Ogino (21), Yumi Shida (20), Rei Kobayashi (19), Kyouka (17) and Akari Yamada (20), but Rei has been on hiatus since October of 2016 due to treatment of her throat, so the group will continue as 3 members while awaiting her return.

 

Members will appear on LINE LIVE on March 31, 2017 at 9:00pm (JST), so check from the link below if you have a chance!

What kind of contract violations? Any speculations?

Not that I know of...

But when it comes to idols, if it's not dating violations then usually it's age related things. But Akari is already 20 so...

I'm too lazy to dig through their 2ch thread but I'm sure the speculations are floating around somewhere. 

 

Rei needs to get back asap because YumeAdo just isn't right with 3 members.

Noooo. I haven't been keeping up with them because of Rei's hiatus (I only even recently just found out about Akari's absence) but this is so shocking to hear. It doesn't feel right without 5, and without any hint of Rei's return I'm getting super worried.

 

Really hope they pull through after this. There's something special about them and it would be sad to lose them so early.
