On August 10, it was announced that Noto Arisa and Sawada Yuri would both be graduating from Hello Pro Egg. Sawada officially graduated from both Hello Pro Egg and Ongaku Gatas to focus on university on August 30.

Trivia

The group's name combines the Japanese word "Ongaku" (音楽; Music) with the Portuguese word "gatas", taken from the name of the Hello! Project futsal team, Gatas Brilhantes H.P.. Together, the two words literally mean "musical cats" (gatas being the feminine form of the word gatos (cats)), although gatas is also slang for "pretty girls".
