So begins the 2026 Graduation Season.

Well... fuck!
Looks pretty bad for Biyo, especially since we don't know if Momohime comes back or not.
If Hime leaves, I wouldn't be surprised to see Miimi leaving too, since they're besties.

Considering Biyo's age and the fact that Kurumi has thought about graduation for 2 years now, probably staying just because of more urgent graduations (Yuhane's and Rika's future plans, Reina's anxiety problems) - who knows who leaves next?

Calling it, Biyo will be gone by 2027.

I do think Kurumi will go into voice acting, she's got some gigs going on for her already. So she will not be gone completely. At least.

[Shoujo Q]

They are only going to salvage Beyooooonds by putting in a new sub group but that’s a big if maybe.

[DonJuan]

Honestly, it would be better to let them just go. That way we also get management back that might save Rosy.

As usual, the odd day where I don't check the bbs is the day something big is announced

I can definitely see them holding their farewell concert at the end of this year. If they were gonna add a new sub-unit, they'd have probably done it last year. I think that ship has sailed, although my predictions are usually wrong.

[DonJuan]

Hime and Miimi are already 21. Their audition included girls up to age 20, but if they really want a whole sub-unit they'd need at least 3 girls, all aged 20... unlikely, I think. Also, Chika#Tetsu is down to 2 members, worst case Kokoro will be the last RFRO member (ironically SeasoningS seem to be pretty stable lol). Not sure how much sense a new sub-unit makes. I agree, if they had found girls they would have added them last year.

Graduation is set for June 16th. Announced at HinaFes Tsubaki-Biyo Premium.

Also at Yoko Ari! Woo!

That was *such* a good concert. Must-see.

[Shoujo Q]

I really like how they had the new gen appear. That was unexpected but so very Beyooooonds. I wont spoil it for anyone that hasn't seen the concert yet.
