Rica Leyona’s Graduation Announcement
Taken directly from the official website:
We announced that Rica Leyona from Team J will withdraw from JKT48 due to health issues. After the “Kokoro no Placard” handshake event which will be held on December 7th, 2014, she will no longer continue her activity with JKT48.
Thank you for your understanding
JKT48 Operation Team
Well, this is actually caught me off guard a little bit. In any case, me and of course us here in JKT48Stuff would like to say thanks for all the efforts she had been given for JKT48. And naturally, wishes her all the best for her next ventures out there.
We will miss you Rica, a lot.
She is not my Oshi, but I’m so sad ~ I don’t want to see Rica leave JKT48, She was the strong Image for JKT!!!
I feel like it’s just a shock for me ~ I know JKT since a long time and I thought Rica will stay for more than this…
Anyway, I wish Rica all the best in her life, and I’m sure she will bright and shine like Stella in her Solo activities <3
Don’t know why, I don’t have any reason, but I just can see it coming. Hmm…
Good luck Rica!
This is quite shocking for me but it’s predictable.. but it’s to fast if she graduate this Sunday at least wait for the 3rd anniversary concert like stella, diasta, and sonya last year.. or maybe it’s because of her health issues makes she can’t do that.. good luck to you coffee girl!!
ahhhh… She’s my oshi’s best friend… I’m so sad and feel scared if Sendy follows her path. Well, good luck for Rica and I pray for her health…
Icha, thank you for these past 3 years
How you started it, progressing, all were done beautifully..
you truly are inspirational
It’s like a relay race. Now is the time to pass the relay stick to the next generation.
Thank yaou Rica!

We won’t forget the effort you made with JKT. Your freshness from your coffee will always have a special place in my memories. It’s great that you make it into Kami7 in this year sousenkyo. It’s sad we can’t see your smile in next year sousenkyo. Good luck, then. Whatever the future will be, just give it your best. I know you can make it more than Kami7! We will miss you, the oldest sister, the coffee-girl, Rica Leyona. You are irreplaceable.
