Sakuma Kaho to leave PASSPO
5 Dec – Sakuma Kaho from PASSPO would be officially leaving the idol group on 30 December 2011 to pursue other endeavours.

"I finally found a place where I can say I belong, so I'm truly sad that things have turned out like this. But I hope to work hard to use this graduation as a fresh start for a new 'Sakuma Kaho' in the future," the 19-year-old idol commented on her blog.
Sakuma has decided to try and pursue a different path but she has not revealed her future plans yet.
Her last performance with the group will be at the PASSPO concert at Zepp Tokyo on 30 December.
