Apart from her activities in aforementioned units, Kusumi is also a member of [[Kira☆Pika]] with [[℃-ute]]'s [[Hagiwara Mai]] and [[MilkyWay]] with [[Hello!

Pur continuando ad esibirsi nei precendenti gruppi, Koharu venne inserita nelle [[Kira☆Pika]], un duo formato da lei e [[Hagiwara Mai]] delle [[℃-ute]], e nelle [[MilkyWay]], un trio formato da lei, [[Kikkawa Yuu]] e [[Kitahara Sayaka]] delle [[Hello! Pro Kenshuusei]]. Entrambi i gruppi cantavano canzoni per l'anime ''[[Kirarin☆Revolution]]'', terminato nel Marzo del 2009. Koharu continuò ad essere un ospite regolare alla TV Tokyo, apparendo ogni Martedì nello show per bambini ''Oha Suta''.
   
In 2009, Kusumi was assigned to be a part of the new shuffle group, [[ZYX|ZYX-α]] along with [[Niigaki Risa]], [[Umeda Erika]], [[Ogawa Saki]], [[Wada Ayaka]], [[Tsugunaga Momoko]], [[Tokunaga Chinami]], and [[Sudo Maasa]].

Project]] in December 2009. According to the official announcement, she was planning to be a model, similar to [[Umeda Erika]] ([[℃-ute]])'s graduation purpose.

Durante l'ultimo giorno del ''2009 Fall Tour Nine Smile'', Tsunku fece un'annuncio shockante: Kusumi Koharu avrebbe lasciato le [[Morning Musume]] e l'[[Hello! Project]] nel Dicembre del 2009. Secondo l'annuncio ufficiale serebbe diventata una modella per riviste femminili, proprio come fece [[Umeda Erika]] delle [[℃-ute]].
   
  +
La sua Graduation mise fine alla formazione più longeva delle [[Morning Musume]] (due anni senza Graduation né audizioni).
Her graduation marked the end of the longest stable lineup of [[Morning Musume]] (the group had gone just over two years without any change in membership, the longest in its history), as it was the first change in the group's roster since the departures of [[Yoshizawa Hitomi]] and [[Fujimoto Miki]] in 2007.
