Juice=Juice member Takagi Sayuri leaves the group and Hello! Project after Bunshun exposes relationship/cohabitation with her and solo artist, Yuri

Bunshun has outed another idol and singer, this time Juice=Juice idol Takagi Sayuki (23) and solo artist Yuri (26) of having a relationship.

Bunshun observed how Takagi and Yuri left his condominium and had lunch with two male staff members and the four returned to Yuri’s home.  The staff members are Jun and Genta, who often appear on Yuri’s YouTube Channel.   Around 11:00 p.m., both staff left his home.

On February 7th, Tagai was seen taking Yuri’s cloths off the balcony after being dried.  Takagi then went to Nakano Sunplaza to appear in the “Hello! Project 2021 Winter ~STEP BY STEP~” and when the live was over, she went to Yuri’s condominium.

On February 9th, a report called out to Yuri about the two living together, Yuri said, “No, I can’t speak about anything at all” and left.

The magazine then asked their offices if they are dating.  Yuri’s record label said they can’t answer because that’s a private question.

Hello! Project announced on the official website that her activity with group and the project will end.

Takagi released the following apology:

The full text of Takagi’s comment is as follows.

　 I’m Takagi Sayuki , Juice = Juice, and Hello! I have decided to end the activities in the Project.

　And above all, as a member, I’m full of regrets.

　And I’m really sorry to all the fans who supported me, all the people concerned, and my careless behavior betrayed everyone’s feelings.

　I don’t think I can be easily forgiven.
