An important announcement from WASUTA to everyone

Thank you very much for your continued support of WASUTA.
 
We have held numerous discussions regarding the future of the group and the individual futures of each member. As a result, WASUTA have decided that Wasuta will close its 11-year history with a final live performance scheduled for this winter.
We sincerely apologize for this sudden announcement, which may have surprised you.
 
As our group name, "The World Standard," suggests, we have been able to meet fans all over the world across the ocean and see countless amazing sights.
And for 11 long years since our formation, the original members who have shared the same vision from the beginning have been able to cherish and protect the place that WASUTA, and continue to run forward until today, all thanks to the warm love of our "Waship" fans and everyone involved who have always been by our side, supporting us. We are truly grateful.
 
Although the time we can spend with you all as WASUTA is limited, we will do our best to repay the immense love you have given us until the very end, with all our gratitude in our hearts.
That's why we ask that you please join us and run through to the final stage, which will be the culmination of our efforts.
 
I hope to continue creating wonderful memories with all of you until the very last moment.
We would greatly appreciate your continued warm support.

A Nanase Hirokawa of WASUTA to everyone

To all my beloved friends
 
We would like to inform you that we will be ending WASUTA 's activities around wintertime.
When I hear this, I wonder what kind of faces everyone will make, what kind of feelings they will have when they read it. Thinking about that makes my heart ache.
 
I moved to Tokyo in my first year of high school because WASUTA was going to join Wasuta, and before I knew it, many years had passed.
I never really thought about how long I would continue, but I think I had a feeling from the beginning that I might dedicate my life to this group for a long time.
 
With members graduating and environmental changes that I'm sure were beyond anyone's imagination, it would be truly amazing if the four of us could reach our 10th anniversary together. At some point, I started setting small yet big goals for myself that I never even imagined before, and before I knew it, we'd surpassed those, and now we're almost at our 11th anniversary.
 
I don't think you can continue anything just by having a "liking" for it, but the reason I've been able to continue this far is definitely because WASUTA "like" Wasuta.
 
I want the image of WASUTA that everyone sees to always be sparkling, and because it's like a treasure to me, I want to end the group in a state where I can proudly say that we are a group that can deliver great things and great live performances.
We discussed this matter extensively among the four of us and made a decision together as a group of four.
 
And from here until the end of my activities, there are some dreams that I really wanted to fulfill but will end up not being able to. I'm sorry.
 
I can't yet imagine what it will feel like to spend each day from here on out, feeling that each event and each season is coming to an end.
 
But the fact that everyone chose WASUTA and supported us, and that I continued with WASUTA...
I will continue to run at full speed until the very end, with the same unwavering determination, so that I have absolutely no regrets.
To all of you who are so important to me, please let me repay you to the best of my ability during the rest of WASUTA time in Wasuta!
 
And please let me accept all of your emotions, whether you feel sad or frustrated.
 
Thank you so much for liking WASUTA among so many other idols!
 
We'll always be ourselves, and that won't change!
From now on, and to the very end.
Please support WASUTA!  




A message from Miri Matsuda of WASUTA to everyone

To everyone who always supports us.
 
As previously announced, WASUTA will be disbanding this coming winter.
I am filled with heartfelt gratitude to everyone I have met so far.
 
I have no prior experience in the entertainment industry before WASUTA. These past 11 years, which began when I was in my first year of high school, have been a series of first-time experiences, and they have become a part of my life.
Becoming an idol made me realize that the influence people have on others is far greater than I ever imagined, and that even if someone is a stranger, they become special to you if they have influenced you.
In that context, we who have been loved so much are fortunate.
As WASUTA, and as an individual, have I been able to have a positive influence on everyone?
I hope that my activities so far have been helpful to someone.
 
I knew it would happen someday, but I was so engrossed in the fulfilling work I was doing at the time. Now, I feel like it's finally here.
 
As I thought about it a lot every day and had many discussions with the members, the idea of "disbanding" began to feel like putting something precious away in a treasure chest.
Both the enjoyable and challenging experiences are all invaluable assets.
 
I have been supported by all of you countless times.
Please let me cherish you until the very last day.
 
Thank you so much for your love for WASUTA.
Thank you for your continued support until the very end.
 
I love it.




WASUTA Ririka Kodama to everyone

To everyone who has encountered WASUTA
 
WASUTA is aiming for next winter
We have decided to end our activities.
In this fast-paced world where things are constantly changing, I've been able to continue working for over 11 years thanks to all of you. Thank you so much for your continued support.
 
I love WASUTA.
I love you all.
 
WASUTA is a special and important place to me, so much so that it's difficult to put into words. It's a place where I can relax, a normal part of my daily life that has continued for 11 years, and my one and only sanctuary.
 
I'm so happy that so many people love this group, which I cherish so much.
At the same time, I am very proud to be a member of WASUTA.
I want to commend myself for deciding to join WASUTA 11 years ago, even though I was just a middle school student and went through a lot of worries and internal struggles.
 
I don't usually have much confidence in myself, but when I'm on stage and when everyone gives me kind words, I feel incredibly strong. Thank you for making me stronger and helping me grow.
 
I will cherish the happiness of being able to stand on stage as Ririka Kodama of WASUTA until the very last day, and I will do my best in my own way.
And I will continue to cherish the time I spend with all of you, so I hope you'll continue to support me until the very end!



A message from Ruka Mishina of WASUTA to everyone
 
I am grateful that I was able to spend such a long time as WASUTA.
This is not a future that could have been easily imagined.
I've been brought this far by so much love.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been a part of my idol career.
Meeting you is a treasure to me, now and forever.
 
The happiness of Waship is the most important thing to me.
Seeing their smiles and receiving their words
I was able to spend my days in joyful circumstances.
I'm sorry we couldn't fulfill the dream we shared.
 
It may be selfish, but WASUTA is a place that is important and beloved to me.
I want to keep loving you forever.
I would be happy if you could accept it.
 
Let's try to create more and more days that we look back on fondly and remember how fun it was.
