This is Ando Yuzu. Long time no see.
I'm sorry for causing you worry.
It was decided I would now graduate from Team Syachihoko.
I can't find the words to express my apology for letting people down.
I tried to come back, but that didn't come true.
Team Syachihoko made our debut in 2012 and I made a lot of dreams come true.
That is an irreplaceable and precious thing to me. My feelings won't change.
All my memories are treasure for me.
Thank you very much for supporting me until now. I'm eternally grateful for everyone's support.
I am sorry for surprising you.
Finally, please forgive my selfishness.
I would be happy if you could record Ando Yuzu in the corner of your memory.

Please continue to support Team Syachihoko.
Thank you for everything.
Happy Strawberry!

Now, this is how an official announcement looks like. Many people, including me, were still waiting for her return, while many others were taking her "hiatus" as an unofficial retirement from the industry. I wake up every day to the sound of "COLORS", I just love the sound of Yuzu's voice on that opening line, she really was an essential part in the group, but the future of Syachi as a 5 member unit is bright. I've seen a lot of growth in Yuzuki and Haruna while they tried to make up for Yuzu's absence, Honoka and Nao are stronger than ever and Chiyu is such a reliable member. Yuzu will missed, but this announcement gives me a sense of closure for this chapter of Syachi's career.

So sad, she certainly was the center of their personality. Nao seems to be making steps towards taking that role.
Their two singles without her have been hits. I still believe they have the potential to step up and take the torch on that very dreaded day far far far in the future when Momoclo decides to retire as a group.
Who knows, this may be their "Akari moment" that shoots them up to mega-star popularity.

I went to see ANGERME's stage drama "Mode" with Chiyu today.
That was amazing. We enjoyed talking about their stage drama.
