Kamijima Kaede (Kaede) / 5th Generation

She's graduating

EDIT: why the hell did I get a dislike for that?

 

I read the news earlier and honestly it shocked me ._. I was sad the other day because she was dropped from HKT senbatsu for the new album and she's in only one of the 5 songs in the album (and it's the one that was decided by fans through a game) I thought that this isn't normal considering she was one of the only 2 5th gens in 3-2 and the 5th gen who had the best position in KimiDoko, and had good meet and greet sales. Now everything makes sense ;_; I just never expected that this could happen, she's been idol for only 3 years ;_;

I only learned about Kaede earlier this year (like I wrote in the first page of this thread), and she became one of my favorite 48G member really fast, she is such a cute and fun girl and a great idol. it's been not even a year that I'm her fan and this happens ;_; I'm so sad and I don't know how I'm going to feel once she's gone from HKT. I'm going to enjoy her activities as idol until the end, but this is so sad ._. and this happens so often that I like a new gen and then she graduates earlier than expected, my bad luck T_T I remember when I watched an old stage of 5th gen earlier this year for Kaede, and the members who got my attention were Kaede (graduating now) and Kudo Haruka (who was already graduated by then) really sad T_T

I wonder what will happen about her participation in the singing competition...

Sigh. I can't believe she's graduating

 

This one has me baffled... Its been less than 2 years since she started and only 6 months since she was promoted to a team. She is popular with not only the fans but with management as well, would have been a permanent senbatsu/front line pushed member for the rest of her tenure so it must be some personal reason that she leaving. This one is shocked me even more than Kudo suddenly leaving. Oh well, Wish her the best

This girl should have the title idol brave.

The way she hasnt give up being idol but trying different path.

 

For anyone interested, here is a page where you can find all past photos of Kaede from her Twitter during her years in HKT! it makes me feel nostalgic to see that ;w; I really loved her as 48G member. but I'm happy for her if she found what she really wants to do with WACK. I sometimes check her news here and there, I'm not really into the music that ASP does (and the group's name and her name... lol), so I can't really support her but I wish her the best. what she's doing now is completely different than 48G, but when I saw some videos of her talking, she's still the same girl as before ^^ just not with the "idol" style anymore lol. Although I don't follow her closely anymore, I will probably see what she's up to every now and then ^^
