BiSH Announce Hug Me's Departure; Will Audition New Members

BiSH have announced today that founding member Hug Me will be retiring in June, due to family reasons. Hug Me will be the first member to leave post-debut, as the only person to have departed BiSH previously was Yukako Love Deluxe (who left prior to the group's official debut).

In light of Hug Me's graduation, BiSH will hold auditions for a replacement ahead of their major label debut album set to be released in October. No word yet on if Hug Me's departure will affect the release schedule of that album, or if everything will go on as planned.

Personally, Hug Me was my favorite member, and it's sad to see her go. She added a lot of character to the group and had a fantastic singing voice to boot. I'm sure a lot of fans will also miss her porn magazine column. Hug Me has stated in the past that she felt useless in BiSH, and that she was considering leaving as far back as last year. We wish good luck to Hug Me in her future endeavors, and to her replacement who has MASSIVE shoes to fill. Hell, Hug Me even has a whole SONG named after her!
