Rinanan, Rittan and Maimai are taller than me.
But they are younger than me.
I am very confused.

I translated the announcement regarding Yuzupon:

We deeply thank you for your troubles as of late. Andou Yuzu will take an indefinite hiatus. We sincerely apologise for causing all the fans to become worried by reporting this sort of information. We hope you will be sure to support Team Syachihoko from here on out.

Thank you for always supporting Team Syachihoko. I am Hasegawa of Stardust Entertainment Section 3, in charge of Team Syachihoko. I will make an important announcement in regards to Andou Yuzu.
Since October of last year, due to her poor health, she was allowed to rest. Her condition is vertigo.
Since the timing of her return was set for the end of last year, she returned to taking individual lessons, but at the present moment, from an entertainment standpoint, she has not rehabilitated to the point of working or performing live. There is no visible prediction on her recovery from now on, and after speaking directly with her parents, the result was that she would officially quit her activity via an indefinite hiatus.
To everyone who has supported Andou, we are filled with feelings of thanks and feelings of apology. Since their 2012 debut on the streets with Andou, the six of them have always acted together. From here on out, the days of the past with Andou will not be erased, and without denial that the reality that Andou is gone, all the members concerned decided to move on completely before being burdened by this, good or bad.
In Team Syachihoko, in the hearts of both the members and myself, we intend to work as 6. Until we dissolve, we will be 6. I believe we are that strong.
From now on, we are blessed if Andou Yuzu and the other 5 members are able to receive everyone's service.
Everyone, kindly, after this, please continue to support us.

Indeed.
And I hope Yuzupon will find a way to vent her creativity as she always seemed to immensely enjoy performing.
That was quite an emotional statement by Hasegawa.
One that you don't read too often in matters like these: most of the times you just get an accumulation of the usual phrases.
But it seems quite clear that Yuzu won't make a return.
And while we certainly won't forget Pony Pink (no way that this can happen.... Lol) it's important to give the others our love from now on even more!

Thanks for the translation. It definitely seems more like a permanent decision after reading that statement. I wish Yuzu the best and hope we get to see her again.

As for the remaining members let's see what they make of Syachi as five. Who knows, maybe it's cathartic for the group like Akarin or Mizuki+Natsu+Hirono leaving was for Momoclo and Ebichu.

It might be but Momoclo and Ebichu had a clear break. There the old members were gone. Period. And the group could start refreshed from there.
Here on the other hand they are destined to keep Yuzu around as sixth member no matter what which makes it difficult to start anew.

I'm very sad.
I hope for Yuzupon's happiness and will be able to see her again.


Yuzupon always have a rabbit stuffed(Daigorou).
