The end of BeForU?

Post by Amp Divorax » Tue Dec 11, 2007 9:52 pm

Ok, this is a bit of a shock to me as I didn't expect it to happen barely a year into their new deal with Avex Trax, but there has been a major shakeup in BeForU.

A summary of http://blog.livedoor.jp/riyu3303/archives/50405822.html:

- Miharu Arisawa is retiring from BeForU effective December 12th due to a physical malcondition.

- Yoma Komatsu is also retiring effective December 12th due to personal reasons.

- After BeForU Live on December 30th, Noria Shiraishi and Lisa Sotohana will be 'graduating' from BeForU and moving on to solo careers.

- There is no word on Riyu Kosaka and Sayaka Minami, but as Sayaka has a duo group with her sister known as Cosmos (some of their songs are on Pop'N) this kinda leaves the future of that group up in the air.

I wouldn't mind TËЯRA being around as long as they stopped doing the same type of song over and over again. (Doll, Rei Zero, etc)

Don't worry, they'll eventually get to Hyper J-Pop -32768 after Hyper J-Pop 32767 comes out here in a few months.
A normality test:

If you are no longer connected to the internet, you need to apply more wax to your modem: it'll make it go faster.
If you find this funny, you're a nerd.
If neither of the above apply, you are normal. Congratulations.
