On March 3, Yoshimoto Creative Agency�s 10-member idol group, the Yoshimoto Gravure Agency (YGA) held their final live performance before their disbandment at the Shinagawa Stellar Ball in Tokyo.� They performed 25 songs including their last single �Kimi to Deaete Yokatta!�, officially ending their 4.5 years of activities.

The venue is a memorable place for the group as they have performed there with artists like Momoiro Clover (now Momoiro Clover Z) and Idoling!!! in 2010 during the �TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2010.� �Tears welled up in member Hayashi Sanae�s eyes as she spoke, �The view from here is great, so I have decided inside of my heart that �we will return to this venue again solely (when we performed on 'TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2010').� �YGA is a happy group to be able to do so.�

During the encore, the �YGA� calls from fans filled the stadium, and after the group performed their final song, leader Tani Yukako cried as she spoke, �I am extremely sad at the thought that there will no longer be normal days with YGA.� Everyone is an important treasure to me.�� Hayashi added, �Although YGA is disbanding, we walk step by step towards the future as individuals.� Even up to now, looking back, we received love from everyone.� Because of that love, I am able to give my all towards the future.�

Their last ��YGA FINAL LIVE� performances titled �HINAMATSURI 10-nin Narande Sumashigao� and �HAPPY Turning?Point ~Arigato Jaa ne.~� were held at day and night, and a total of 1100 fans gathered to watch their final performances.� Even after their performances ended, fan cheers of �YGA! YGA!� could be heard throughout the venue.

YGA formed in July 2008 and they became popular after their January 2012 single �Rising Sun JAPAN!� ranked 2nd�on the Oricon Weekly Chart. YGA announced last November that they would disband.
