3 days ago, my friend messaged me with this really really unexpected news.
Haruki-kun will leave M!LK.
Everything stopped, the whole world stopped. Before I knew it, tears were already streaming down. My heart couldn't take it. I wished that it was just a misunderstanding. I wished that the translation was just misleading. It was very VERY hard to believe.
So what I did was I checked M!LK's Twitter account for confirmation and there was M!LK's official notice and Haruki's blog post waiting for me. My tears continued flowing. I tapped on M!LK's announcement and lead me to this.
Thank you very much for always supporting M!LK.
This is a sudden announcement, but M!LK's member, Yamazaki Haruki, will be graduating (leaving) from the group
Haruki has been the main vocalist of the group.
After discussing things with himself, with the members of the groups and with the staff, Haruki had said that he wants to move towards his new dream.
Haruki requested to end his membership contract with M!LK on June 30, 2018 and leave the office on July 31, 2018.
We truly apologize to the M!LKys who have been supporting the 5 people for this sudden announcement.
M!LK will still be performing with 5 members in the events that were announced before this notice.
Thank you for continuing to support Yamazaki Haruki who has decided to take a new step toward his new dream.

It hurts very very much. I couldn't sleep. I think I already sleeped at past 3am. I tried getting my mind off of it but whatever I do, Haruki would always pop up in my mind. I then went to their blog and there were the 4 member's short messages for Haruki. I had a really good cry. I felt their love for Haruki. Right now, my heart still cries.
Right now, I still can't believe it and I'm still trying to accept everything. Our beloved matcha milk have already decided to leave and it's final. It's so surreal.
I guess I wanted to post this to let out everything I feel.
Of course, I'm just a side character of Haruki's life story. I'm not someone who can stop him. It's his life afterall and it's his decision. I should respect his decision and what he wants to do with his life because I love him and I'm his fan.
I have to accept it. I'll feel contented if he's also contented and happy. Seeing him smile genuinely is what makes up my will to go on with life
My friend and I decided to send him our first and last personal letter while he's still connected with the address used for fan letters.
Thank you for reading and may you also continue to support M!LK and Haruki.
