The full story
Pusu makes the decision on his own without consulting the other members to terminate mid-contract with record label Pony Canyon

| [...]
Sorry for the sudden notice, but I have unilaterally terminated the contract with "Pony Canyon".

Pusu contemplates his past actions and apologizes to everyone for bearing such a poor image. He blamed himself, wanted to give up and began exposing his hardships

| [...]
Because I'm dumb. Because I was able to receive a large sum of money semi-permanently without working, I bought whatever I wanted as much as I wanted, played around as much as I wanted, and was ruled by my unholy desires.

| I put everything on the back burner, from composing songs, the members, the supporting fans, all of them. All I thought about was driving luxury cars, buying brand-name stuff everyday, hanging out with women and counting my money. I am genuinely a dumbass. I'm not worthy of being a composer. So please, allow me to unalive myself.

| [...] I'm sorry I can't do the same as other artists. If my heart remains dead even after exposing to the world that I am a piece of trash, I'll quit being active.

So I will RT as much as I want on TUYU official, and share whatever I think. Because, by any means, if I can't turn on my creative switch by myself now, everything will be over, including TUYU.

Towards the end of Pusu's ranting Miro and Omutatsu voiced their opinions of disapproval
https://twitter.com/mironuko/status/1723589160404152421
| [Miro] I haven't dared to interfere with Pusu since September so that he could focus on his work, but he exploded again this time. What should we do now...
|
https://twitter.com/mironuko/status/1723592341456576871
| [Miro] No matter what the reason or intention is, I can't approve of making the precious fans who always support us and the people around us feel agitated and anxious. So sad.
|
https://twitter.com/omrice4869/status/1723608181648294334
| [Omu] I really hate that you neither have the determination nor responsibility, yet you made such a big drama and turned your back on the people who are supporting you. You're not gonna stop the current activities, rather, you just can't stop it.
|
Pusu says a goodbye, but then makes a general response back to everyone, saying he'll go against the world while making music
https://twitter.com/Pusu_kun/status/1723606277581127972
| No interfering with anything now. I'll leave things as it is. Gonna disappear for a while. Goodbye.
|
https://twitter.com/Pusu_kun/status/1723674427605606751
| This is the environment I wanted. Thank you, guys. I'm not going back. This is what I'm going to do. The more crap they give me, the more motivated I get. I'm gonna do this for the rest of my life. I'm not playing the good guy card again. I want you guys to keep ragging on me. I'm going to keep making music against the world until the day I die. Music that's not for you.

| There are so many things I want to say, but for now, thank you guys so much for worrying about me and consider it as your own matter… Being loved by you all makes me feel so proud. I’m OK, by the way! First of all, we’re sorry for making you feel anxious before the upcoming live tour. Those who are willing to spend the money on expensive tickets and time to come see us are the ones I definitely want to bring delight to without any regrets. Singing is what I love and also the only thing I can do. I'll sing the good songs for you guys.

| Thanks to Pusu and Tuyu, I've had such a great opportunity to see you guys. "Words from you guys have made me feel so appreciated! They give me the reason for living! Such a wonderful and wholesome fanbase I have!" - are those that boost my confidence. Well, such things don't happen in real life, right~ Thank you for always giving me energetic support! Sorry for such a late post~ You guys should go to sleep too~!
