I found out about Reina's graduation this morning on Twitter, and my first thought was that I knew that there would be a graduation at their new concert tour, I was just a bit surprised it was Reina. But, I'm glad that her band members were announced at the same time, and it's a great reason, if any, to graduate.

I think her time in Morning Musume was fair for the most part. She's had loads of time in the front, so there won't be an issue of a member leaving before they were able to shine in the group.
