Hehe, I was up until 5AM watching Idol College footage. First gen was really amazing, each one of them was front-girl material and the group just clicked. Not to mention four of them were model good-looking (sorry Minori

). Since I was confused over who was still in the group, I did some "research" on the status of the first gen.
As shurastriker mentioned, only 1 of the original girls remains, Shiori. The four girls I tagged with a graduation cap are no longer in the group.

Chiho Shiori Naomi Mitsuki Minori
Three of my four favorite members... gone! WTH, I was only a fan for one day, but it still feels like Godzilla kicked me in the groin.
Chiho Matsuzawa was the first to graduate. Her last blog entry was on 2009-3-24 but was just a typical entry (no mention of leaving the group). All of the other girls who graduated blogged about their graduation/last show, so maybe it wasn't completely planned. She was probably my favorite member (for that 1 day I knew them).
Mitsuki Yamashita was next, graduating 2009-10-31.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go start a rumor that they're all coming back in a spinoff called Idol College: Grad School
