With this announcement of her pregancy and impending marriage, she also announced her retirement from the entertainment industry, saying that she thought about herself as a woman, and decided to leave her current path and set off a new one.

After talks between the members of Flower and LDH staff in light of Mio’s retirement, it was decided that the group would disband at the end of this month. The other four members will continue their careers in the entertainment industry.
