    Mayu has dissapeared for a while and I kinda worried. I heard some rumor saying she is having some health probs... hope that's not true

    This is the problem when your oshi graduates. There's always a huge possibility that she'll disappear from our lives altogether. We know so much about the girls while they are in the group (or, at least, we think we do) and then graduation comes about and the girls almost always become less forthcoming about their activities, which is expected, of course, since they are now young women with little, if any, connection to AKB. It always feels, somehow, like we've lost a close friend. Kinda sad.

    In UTAGE! They asked about Mayuyu by putting an assistant in his place.

    Nothing has been known since December 31, there is a lot of speculation, his followers and the press are worried if he is sick.

    Their representatives have been asked on twitter and there were no answers.

    Best possible scenario: Mayuyu has finally met a guy who has swept her off her feet and she is so in love and so smitten with this guy that she simply lost track of the days and weeks and, for the time being, forgotten all about social media and her fans and everything else. Anybody buying into that theory?

    Possibly. But, didn't Yukirin said one time that she didn't think Mayuyu will ever marry? Nobody knows Mayuyu better than her.

    I know that, but didn't she make that comment a few years ago? Things change. People change.

    If he had married he would have put a note in the press being popular. :huh:

    I’m wondering if she’s met a partner who perhaps is a non-celebrity and the couple just want complete privacy, and maybe her ‘physical condition’ is that she’s pregnant? Even though I’d be insanely jealous of him [hehe] I hope it’s that rather than she’s ill.

    You wouldn't be the only jealous one. Half of Japan would be jealous.

    BIGLOBE has just published a news article about Mayu:
    https://news.biglobe.ne.jp/entertainment/0219/myj_200219_6324973863.html

    The headline is suggesting that she wants to return to AKB48? However I'm reliant on Google Translate, I've pasted the translation I'm getting but as usual it contains a certain amount of gibberish (and I'd guess that the article contains a certain amount of speculation anyway):

    She might be changing agency and has to keep quiet while contracts are being transferred.

    Alternately she could be suffering a stress/exhaustion related illness like Jurina/Haruppi.

    I'm not too worried. Other graduated members have had peaks and valleys in their public visibility. Yuko vanished for a short while and now she's acting on TV shows again. I don't think someone as notable as Mayu could ever go away completely. She's probably just enjoying a long deserved break.

    I'm sure the rumor of Mayu wanting to return is just a misunderstanding. She probably believed it was time for her to move on, but Yukirin has shown you don't ever have to quit. That being said If Mayu wants to come back I'm all for it. :banana:

    When they are at home they disappear completely, they don't even update the twitter. :^^;:

    And it ended a few days or weeks or months, they appear giving the surprise with drums and trumpets [hehe]

    What I was thinking. Like Jurina, she has been in the entertainment world since she was a kid (becoming a member when she was 12), and after 13 years of being in it, she finally just needed a break.
