Sugamoto Yuko and Maeda Atsuko

First I would like to say that i'm still very depressed about everyone graduating around the same time. Second is I don't think I wrote about Maeda Atsuko parading around the theater. And finally Sugamoto Yuko made a video about the real reason she has graduated.
I will start with Acchan!
Acchan was going to parade around the theater and greet everyone who was not able to come and watch her performance on the 27th. Although, due to the Olympic medalist parade being held in Ginza on the 20th attracting about 500,000 people. As police also knew and expected a lot of people to come for Acchan, they canceled due to security reason.
Next is Sugamoto's video!

“I released this video because I wanted to express my gratitude for my fans and explain the reason for quitting from my own mouth. I’m in the last year of high school, and while my friends are deciding on what path to take, I became troubled myself. I felt that I wanted to pursue cooking. First of all, I owe everyone an apology, I did the wrong thing. That is, I commented a specific fan, and sent a message to another. I did it with an easygoing feeling. I’m very sorry to have done something to betray everyone who has supported me. I don’t smoke or drink… I have never gone drinking with a fan, or slept over their place. Finally she stated, There are rumors spreading, so I wanted to deny them from my own mouth. I don’t know the details about the other girls, but I know that they each quit while chasing after their dreams,”

This is only a translation that sums up about her reason of leaving, not the whole video.

Former HKT members leave messeges

The 5 HKT48 members who graduated left messages on a blog post!

SUGAMOTO YUKO: To the fans who supported Yuko, who is a negative and a crybaby, thank you! I love you all very much! I'll always love you!

TANIGUCHI AIRI: Since it was decided suddenly, there may be fans who are confused. I'm very sorry to have worried you.

NAKANISHI AYAKA: I became negligent toward my studies, and I disliked myself for not being able to do the things I used to be able to do. For that reason I thought that I must do my best to grow.

ETO SAYAKA: I don't regret leaving HKT48. I am positively thinking about the future. I want to return to being an ordinary girl and do my best with my studies. I still have a dream. I haven't given up on that dream. My dream is now far but someday, I will return.

Komori however, did not wright a blog post :(

Good morning!

I won't have much time anymore to be online so I will try my best to bring AKB news to your atleast everyday and regarding Picture of the day it will turn into Picture of the week. Starting on Wednesday we will start with Team K. Im still baffled by the HKT news from yesterday -_- People are claiming that since Sashii joined its her fault for the girls to be fired but with or without her maybe they still would have done all that stuff? I don't think it's nice to blame Sashii whether or not she did tell management I think she did the right thing!!

5 HKT48 members graduate

9 hours ago it was announced on HKT blog that 5 members will be graduating.
Those members are Eto Sayaka,  Komori Yui, Sugamoto Yuko, Taniguchi Airi, Nakanishi Ayaka.
The members profiles have already been deleted from HKT48 official webpage and their Google+ accounts will be deleted tomorrow. More detail regarding the handshake events involving those 5 members will be announced soon.

The only reason they graduated is because of "personal reasons" although rumors have been around about a scandal involving the 5 members. This is only a rumor, so don't take it seriously unless it is confirmed.

A user on the Japanese equivalent of Yahoo questions has posted a short article describing how Sugamoto, Eto, Taniguchi and "another unconfirmed fourth member" (which turned out to be Nakanishi) Had been meeting a number of boys after shows at the theater. According to the poster, who claims to be a friend of one of the boys involved, They girls had been consuming alcohol and smoked cigarettes. Fr a few days the four members hadn't been posting on their google+ accounts, So fans felt that something had been going on behind the scenes. In addition on Thursday evening, Komori posted an unexpected graduation on her account which got removed only minutes later.

It doesn't say anything about Komori doing anything wrong though.. Maybe the 4 members who got "caught" are good friends with Komori and are pressuring her to leave with them too. Maybe Komori didn't want to leave. I'm also starting to think the rumor is true though, do to my own theories. If it is 4 members linked and they only said they are graduating for only personal reason and nothing else dont you suspect something?
