Has Ko left the troupe? I can't see him in that ^ pic and she hasn't mentioned him at all lately. Or perhaps he'll come back for the next tour.

She announced that only Subaru, Zin and Kazuma were returning - or "passed the auditions".

I was shocked Ko was gone. I was never a fan of his dancing, but I got to dance with him and share a hug in Yamaguchi, so that was pretty cool.

Looks like KO was the one that did not pass auditions then. She said in a TA blog and a social media post I think that she had to say goodbye to someone that tried really hard.

holy shit, the old members had to go through auditions as well? I don't understand how the dance troupe works but I thought auditions are just to select new members.

I'm not necessarily a fan of Ko's (or any of her dancers), but he'd been in the troupe so long that I'm kinda sad he left.

That's kind of weird to me that he didn't pass the audition. Hasn't he been in the last few tours? I doubt they're going to do something so different they haven't done before for him to suddenly fail, unless it's been a long time coming? I don't know anything about how these dance auditions work lol I just assumed they were contracted or something. Either way I'm really looking forward to a-nation!

Yeah I thought that was quite clear when she announced only the 3 were returning. Her and Ko seem quite close.

and Koya is gone??? :(

"Second rehearsal day also ends safely!
And Shingo boss, congratulations on your 60th birthday. Red (something. his outfit?) suits you well lol
Preparing for the final rehearsal"

Really shocked to see KO not pass auditions. I figured that once you were in the Troupe you stayed there forever......(unless you're Maro).........

KO seemed pretty popular in the Troupe as well. Is it possible that some of the drama over the smoking is from his fans?

I've been into kpop too long lmao I'm too suspicious of what lengths akgae fans (people who like only one person in a group, hate others for "stealing their limelight") can go to for their fave.....

Back on topic, it's kind of shocking that Ayu would put her Troupe through an audition unless it was for a good reason. We'll never know what happened behind closed doors.

I didn't like Ko at all so...bye, sis

Is AHS crying over dance members who left the troupe? Life is really a box full of surprises *rolling eyes really hard*

"Ayu can't diferenciate employers to friends. She should fire everyone".

Ayu fires someone over a extremely common process for a dance troupe to do and people lose their minds.

:B

He may return for the tour

thank you for clarifying that it's an extremely common process. I was wondering, but didn't cry nor lose my mind over this.

^It is. I don't know how often Ayu does that, but for a dance focused artist to frequently run auditions, or for a dance company to audition people everytime theg will reharshal a new show is pretty standart. Even cuz dancers age fast.

It's fine for people to say they'll miss a dancer. Come on people, we don't have to complain about everything other members do on here...

It doesn't seem overly common for Ayu to replace/dismiss her dancers, she keeps the same faces around a lot. But who knows, maybe she had to mix it up this time around.

I personally never had this special connection with any of her dancers. It's more entertaining watching new faces from time to time.
