Sayaka Minami retirement concert

Sayaka Minami left BeForU and announced her retirement from the music, some months ago due health reasons.



Her retirement concert will be in June, 29th.

What do you think about this? (I never expected that Saya would left the group in April)

Goodbye

Poor Sayaka, it must suck to stop doing something you love because of health problems. I hope she's able to find something else that she loves to do. She's very pretty, I bet she could do some modeling.

I liked her in BeForU, she will be missed

THE HELL, BeForU is practically gone now

Like Shiyuna.
So sad,she was my second favorite girl.
Best wishes and looking foward to the concert.

Well, all good things must come to an end, but why so soon?

I agree with Xepher and AceJay. Sayaka was my favorite BeForU member.

I have to agree with this as well. Her songs were great and her singing was something that I thought was new, compared to the rest of BeForU.
Her voice was great and it did sound a little more... I dunno, serious?

When you look at the J-Pop and pop scene, absolutely, especially when compared to her bandmates, Riyu and Noria (ugh, Love Love Sugar).

---

Yes, Riyu in particular. I enjoy her songs loads and they're fun to just listen to, but it's nice to get some more variety in my J-Pop. I still like Noria a lot though

---

this makes me sad i hate to see stuff like this happen. i love sayaka to death and hate to see her go. she will be missed most definately. and i do agree with what a few of you have said. her music is amazing great voice and all.

---

I will definitely miss her after June, 29th.
She was my fav BFU NEXT member.
Also, I liked her work in COSMOS (with EMI)

First post updated, with the correct date of the farewell concert and some more info.

There goes my favorite BeForU member. I really was looking forward to listen to more of her music in future bemani games, since she had by far the best voice of the bunch, nothing like the silly singing of Riyu, Noria and the rest of the girls whose names and voices I can't even remember due to Riyu and Noria being attention whores and having to sing every BeForU song all by themselves.

Yeah, this is really sad. While Riyu was my favorite, she was a close second. Her and Yoma.

A bit off-topic, but isn't that also the reason why Risa left, too? (health reasons)

Yeah. BeForU is finished. I wonder what Riyu is gonna do after this (even though she has her own solo career)
