~YUKARIN~

Shiraishi Yukari, known by her fans as Yukarin, has officially been removed from the group YuriSunrise after a kidnapping incident last week. Hello Project has decided this is the best course of action, both for the well being of Shiraishi-san and the well being of the group. Newcomer Honda Ayumi will be replacing Shiraishi-san effective immediately. Shiraishi Yukari will be retired from the company effective immediately.

I had to be told through a press release. No one asked me. This is what happens to an idol when something bad happens. As if my wounds weren't deep enough already, now I don't even have a job to go back to. To my fans, I'm sorry. This wasn't my decision.
