If they wanted to get rid of Aika they should have when she was injured not right now. She hasn't really even had a chance to shine yet in MM, I don't really think she would have gotten more lines but COME ON!!! There will only be 2 sempais left after Aika and Gaki leave. Lets see the ratio for sempais and kohais (is that what they are called) 2:8 wow not really a great thing for 8 young new members and Sayumi is still in MM and she won't get any lines she will probably be next to graduate and then Reina and then only Riho will be able to sing cause the songs are normally Reina x Riho and even though I like Reina what will happen when she is gone too? MORNING MUSUME IS FALLING APART WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD? why did you leave Eri, JunJun, and LinLin maybe if you stayed none of this would ever happen... But back to Aika I really don't think that Aika has had much time to shine in MM but now I am seriously going to cry at this concert even if I can't be there I am going to cry and eat lots of ice cream that night. She will only graduate from MM and she will stay in Hello! Project, she will graduate on 5/18 oh great my last day of school just simply fanfreakintastic... Reina even says that she was shocked and she thinks her or Sayu are next... DON'T DO IT TSUNKU! here is some of the news and comments translated here

I will miss you Aika even though I was never a big fan
