Umeda Erika to Graduate from C-ute (09-10-25)

C-ute really isn’t having much luck this year! The oldest member of the group, Umeda Erika announced at the Osaka Hello! Project Summer concert today that she will graduate from the group on 2009-10-25 and hopes to become a fashion model. Umeda is my favorite member so I miss her all the best and I’m sad to see her go! She didn’t really get a chance to shine in C-ute though.
