One day, while snooping through
Kyle's W Matsui collection:



What,
What,
WHAT?


Don't worry Mrs Broflovski,

大人の事情？/ Otona no Jijou?

Simply means

Adult Circumstances?

Uh.....hmmmm...

When Rena went to Disneyland (in Tokyo and Florida)! :3



People, her love for Disney cannot be matched by anyone! >w<

Apparently, a lot of Rena's votes went to SKE members, which is how they all ranked so high.

After concert portion of ssk, Rena waited backstage for Jurina to come back.

Rumor going around that Rena might be announcing her graduation on tomorrow night's ANN.

Until then, we won't know....

[THUNDERDUCK]

This could possibly turn out to be the worst week ever

No, we still don't know yet. She may announce tonight. We just have to wait......

She has announced her graduation and she will graduate in August    Why and when exactly is unknown

She has announced her graduation and she will graduate in August    Why and when exactly is unknown

She said her two top reasons was she wants to become an actress and that there's nothing left for her to do as an idol. She's found her dream, and she's ready to take the next step and move on.

And she said it will be in the end of August, so I'm guessing, at the latest, August 30th or 31st.

I was reading Sayanee's tweet when suddenly she retweeted Rena's announcement.
This can't be happening. First Takamina. Now, it's gonna be Rena.
So much for a year. My oshis graduating one by one. 

[JFC]

So yeah...confirmed.

Rena Matsui to Graduate from SKE48 in August
By Jeremy Suskin on June 10, 2015

The news is official as Rena Matsui confirms she’ll be leaving the J-pop idol group in only a matter of months.

News outlets around Japan have been reporting an impending graduation announcement from SKE48′s very own Rena Matsui and it seems as if the rumors of her departure hadn’t been exaggerated. At the top of the show this evening Matsui confirmed the rumors on tonights broadcast of All Night Nippon.

Fans lit up the social media ahead of the announcement nearly unanimous on their decision that the rumors were a ploy to gain a ratings boost for the radio talk show. Comments included dry acceptance ”We’ll see if today is finally the day” to righteous indignation “Regarding Rena Matsui. Though she might graduation someday, why would they report it in advance? I think they’re just trying to boost ratings. I don’t think she’ll be announcing it at all.” and even the light hearted “Yeah.. [graduate] from Nogizaka46.”

Rena Matsui [松井玲奈] born July 27, 1991 in Toyohashi, Aichi is a member of the Japanese idol girl group SKE48 and held a concurrent position in Nogizaka46. She originally joined as a member of SKE48′s Team S but on April 2013, she became the leader of team E. She has participated in the main lineup of not only SKE48 but also AKB48 singles. Matsui is often paired with Jurina Matsui of Team S who, despite sharing the same last name, share no familial relation.

More updates as they happen.

All Night Nippon [オールナイトニッポン] is a Japanese radio program broadcast by Nippon Broadcasting System and other radio stations from 1–5 am (JST). It preempts broadcasts from TBS Radio’s programming heard on stations under both JRN and NRN (TBC Radio, CBC Radio, etc.).

It's perfect for her to leave.  I think for what she has done and going through this path, it has taken her to a goal that she wanted all this time but the thing was SSK was proof to see how well things was going to be without her, (pending the fact that Takamina was being pushed for one last time)

Good luck for her!

[manatzukkyun]

I think we've all been expecting her graduation to happen, and I'm actually relieved that she finally announced it. As she said in ANN, she has "done everything there's to do as an idol".
You can't be an idol forever and this graduation definitely isn't a sad one. After all these years, she'll finally be able to focus on what she was made for: acting. I think Rena has a bright future ahead of her and it's time for her to move on. Also, it's better for her to leave while she's still relevant and at the top of her game.
Sure, it's going to feel weird watching SKE pvs without her but it's a great opportunity for younger members like Ryoha, Ami and Nao to seize. I hope they'll make the most of it.

[alohano]

They will all move on someday....part of the fandom.  She's awesome and one of my favs.

I'm really bummed that now I'm going to see more of the other face of the group whenever watching SKE48 vids!  Yuck.
