    Narita Risa,
    Ohe Tomomi,
    Tojima Hana,
    Komatani Hitomi,

    Apparently they all announced their graduations tonight at the 3rd show.

    I have no idea what's going on, man. I saw the 1st and 2nd show today, and they didn't seem that strange.

    The ONLY thing that seemed a little weird, now looking back on it, was one of them (Hana? Rina? I forgot who) but during MC introductions said "The last A4 show is coming up, so I'm going to treat each song very importantly"

    Actually now that I think about it, I KNOW Nakanishi said that once, and someone else definitely said it as well....

    However, they said "senshuraku" which means "last show of the stage" If they said "the last show is coming up" that could be interpreted as "MY last show is coming up" but since they used the phrase "senshuraku" that doesn't refer to them quitting, that just refers to A4 ending.


    According to everybody's Mixi entries, it's just more of "wow, they actually graduated!" but nothing more about reasons or how they did it or anything. Just lists of names. About 5 of my friends on Mixi posted this so I'm thinking it isn't a joke anymore


    Oh also, there won't be an A4 revival DVD, I was told. (sort've on a different topic)

    I fear for S48 if this isn't a joke.

    Got this from a fan blog
    大江・駒谷・戸島・中西・成田がA4リバイバルをもってAKBを卒業
    ただ、11/23のNHKホールライブは出演します。

    looks like they will perform in NHK Hall concert on 11/23, probably giving them a proper graduation

    they will stay until the last day of A4.. which is a few days from now.

    and then will appear in the NHK concert for the last time, which means they will still be in the dvd.

    my eyes hurt reading all the posts in japanese T__T

    edit: makistar beat me to everything
