Q. When you decided to leave the company?
Yui: We hadn't heard of that yet when we held a meeting at the agency in January, at that time we were talking about what we would do for the year. In that discussion we had positive talks such as "I wish I had done more last year" and "I'll do it this year."
Rio: It was time to work hard for another year, that's why after hearing about leaving the company just when i thought how i would do my best along the members, My head turned white. 'What should I do, what will happen now?'
Miku: I was worried because it was really sudden.
Yui: I was told that the contract with the agency was going to end during a live show in February. i was called by the person in charge at the end of the turn and was reported that "we were out". With my head not being able to process yet what happened, I said, "I'm going to go talk with the members.", i was really surprised.
Mai: I was shocked after leaving the company, i was worried and I didn't know what to do. But producer Eguchi-san (Ryo Eguchi) told me, "I think it's an opportunity." Until then, I had been thinking, "What should I do?", but when I was told that it was an opportunity, I began to think, "It's an opportunity."
