Yeah, I felt the same way! I really thought that it would sort of be like Shounentai, where they just faded out, doing less and less activities as fit their lifestyles. I also agree about retiring vs starting over… it doesn't really make sense to me to try to start over now, when they're, if anything, on the downward side of the fame-hill. They're not really at a place where it seems like this change could possibly help their careers, but I guess if they really wanted to do other work besides music, it might make sense? I really don't understand, but I guess we'll have to wait until more news comes out, as you said x__x
I really hope that, at the very least, this doesn't have negative consequences for the kouhai groups. Already, I feel like Iijima leaving is making good things happen in terms of factions starting to fall apart, but who knows in the long run…
