User blog comment:Yasser96/Tanaka Reina...Graduate or Not?/@comment-3467862-20120629175509

It seems like both Sayumi and Reina are going to graduate soon, but probably not until at least another year or so. Having Reina (and Riho) as the lead singers for the time being allows the other members to get used to being a Morning Musume member, so they can develop their voices more and get used to it. I think Reina will graduate when the other members are comfortable with singing and being a member of Morning Musume.
