Yocchan is not graduating but will not be at ~sacrifice~

[truehappiness]

Seems Japanese fans were abuzz about this after Yocchan updated his photoblog. Also I figure he of all the members also deserves a thread since... well... it's Yocchan.

[本番です]

いよいよ夏の終わりの、味の素スタジアムでの大きなフェス「a-nation '17」の本番でございます。今回もヘッドライナーを務めた、あゆちゃんとの今年最後のステージであります 。
来月からは「just the beginning 20」の第2幕のツアーが始まるので、タイミングが合えば、どこか見に行っちゃおうかなぁ～(^^ ) あゆちゃんのデビューから、全部のツアーに参加してきた記録が、今日でストップであります。ここから51本 のライブ、見に行く人は楽しんで下さいねぇ～♪
幸い過ごしやすい気候のライブ日和の今日は、本当に楽しんじゃったよ=(^.^)=みんなあり がとうね ♪

Basically, he says that a-nation '17 was his last stage with Ayu and that if he can find time, he will see the show. Also that "today" [when he posted the blog], the record of performing with Ayu since her debut stops here.

Edit:

Ayu has commented on the matter! He isn't leaving for good, yay!
