IMPORTANT:
This is not a fan fiction or shitpost. I’m the anon who had the rats Yui JHS yearbook photo and trolled everyone with it. I’m the guy who works as a teacher in Japan and whose friend worked at Yui’s public JHS.
I’ve received some very exclusive information from him just now.

He is currently still teaching at a school in the same general region as the Mizuno’s residence. Just today he was called out to by some graduated students who recognized him on the street. In small talk he mentioned going to a concert this weekend for a rock band, and one of the students mentioned BABYMETAL. He brought up how sad he was about Yui quitting and a student’s reply was this:

“Actually, she didn’t only quit. My friend in high school is Yui’s friend for a long time. The record [label] told Yui she was too [gestures “fat” with arms out] and gave her some months to change it. After some time she decided to leave. She’s sad. I hope she can come back next year afterall.”

Considering the last few shows she had some noticeable weight gain, this checks out. But more importantly, that means Yui was never “sick and sorry she can’t perform.” AMUSE blacklisted her from performing on the lineup until she could lose enough weight to fit the image. There was never any contract dispute, mental illness, pregnancy (I was one of the folks who initially pushed that theory), or any disgust for the band on her part. It also makes sense considering the tweets saying she was still a signed member of the band, and the general unsureness of her return.

AMUSE/Koba was the one who told her she couldn’t be in the band anymore if she didn’t get skinny again, and she couldn’t lose the weight fast enough.

If you don’t believe me, here is the full size original rare Yui. The one I posted a couple months ago was slightly cropped.
