“Uncertain Future”

Posted on by

Why did you decided to go to university?

A-chan: At the time (autumn 2006) our future were unsure. Anytime we might be told to go back to our hometown Hiroshima.
We were on the cliff. We didn’t think we could continue our carrier as singer ,so we decided to go. Our manager also recommended us ,saying ‘It is difficult for me to tell your future…’.
