I expect being in an idol group would be stifling for an adult, and AKB48 is kind of large to be open to renegotiating individual contract terms as the talent matures.

I'm curious what the turn-over rate for this ridiculously large idol group is.
And does anybody ever notice? |

She got too old, pushed out, or got a boyfriend/pregnant.
Or simply she got tired of getting paid peanuts while the old men at the agency are raking the dough. |

The original source states she left for emotional reasons.

How Japan can continue to foster this unhealthy obsession of idols....I guess the companies really do care about just the money. |

As the heat goes off, more and more sources point out the "suicide" was nothing but a net hoax.
