It's been announced that 5 members, Hayase Amu, Araya Satsuki, Koyanagi Tomoe, Amaki Jun, and Aizawa Mina, have graduated from Kamen Joshi. 

Each member announced their graduation through their blogs and revealed their current state of mind. Hayase, who had been on break due to her poor health (including panic disorder), explained that she will graduate in order to "move forward," whereas Amaki will "concentrate on work to become a gravia idol and actress." Meanwhile, Aizawa decided on graduating after "seriously thinking about her own future." As for Araya and Koyanagi, their graduation was already announced on February 23 through their blogs before their agency made the official announcement. At that time, Koyanagi commented, "I realized that this wasn't the place for me. I thought that I wouldn't be able to shine here." 

Although Amaki has graduated from the group, she will remain with Alice Project to become a gravia idol. The other 4 members will resign from Alice Project. Furthermore, there will be no graduation concert for these 5 members. 

With this graduation announcement, promotion of the remaining 14 members as well as members' shuffles between the subunits have been determined. More details will be announced at a later date.
