AKB48 member Kaoru Mitsumune has decided to leave the group due to her health issues that have prevented her from performing at her best.
The idol made her announcement on her official blog through a post titled "From Mitsumune, To My Fans". "My physical condition hasn't been good for a long time. It has become hard for me to stand in front of everyone in perfect condition. This has definitely caused problems for those around me and also created a huge personal burden, so I have sent in a notice about my withdrawal," the post stated.
Mitsumune's poor health has prevented the singer from participating in various AKB48 projects recently. The singer couldn't participate in the group's Tokyo Dome concert as well as an event for the movie version of "Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou".
Mitsumune was originally scheduled to join Team K on November 1st.

another original Team 4 well that's just sad news
I'm sorry to hear such news; hope she could get well soon.
NOOOOOOOOOO not her.....seems like everyone's leaving all of a sudden.
:( Sad news, I'm sorry to see she has to leave over this. I'm glad that she'll take care of herself instead of pushing to keep commitments and have her health get worse.
That's a pity. I'm really don't care much about AKB48 (other than the fact that I get frustrated that they're always at the top of the charts, I don't care at all), but I've always found Mitsumune Kaoru to be the prettiest among the members (of course that's just my opinion).
Finally something that's news!
This makes me very sad
aww hope she gets better
she looks so thin!
