Seriously bummed out about this, especially since 1) I already had to endure Riho, Zukki, and Meimi leaving their respective groups at the time of this announcement (and then Manakan left her group later on), and 2) the timing of this announcement happened the same day as this year's J-Pop Summit, the local San Francisco event where I got to see Lovendor in person three years prior.
Yeah, I'll admit I haven't paid much attention to Lovendor since then, but Yuki's been my favorite since day one, charming me with that adorable smile and impressing me with both her live playing skills and her ability to craft a song for a Hello Project group ("Desugita..." by Angerme). Of course, I've been told that Lovendor's been skewing towards idol-like promotion and events, and Yuki likely signed up with serious rock band expectations, so perhaps it's a good idea for her to move on. At the very least, I'm thankful to have seen her in person and get her autograph.
