According to Hello! Project's official site, "We have held various talks with Otsuka Aina herself, and with her family regarding the contract, however unfortunately, we were unable to come to an agreement for the terms of contract. There was also a request to turn down the contract from her family. Therefore, as of July 5th, Otsuka Aina withdrew from Juice=Juice, and also from Hello! Pro Kenshuusei. From now on, Juice=Juice will continue their activities with 5 members. We ask for your kind understanding, and please continue to support them."
Juice=Juice was formed with six Hello! Pro Kenshuusei members, and it was previously announced that they would make their major debut in this summer.
