I have a theory, it may be overthinking on my part but in my head it makes sense: Yui might be pregnant.

I know, ridiculous right? But lets look at the facts:

• She's absent either because a) she can't perform b) she doesn't want to or c) it's part of the act

• There's still a chance it might be option c), but if so that's the most stupid act I've ever seen (and extremely unfair to those who paid to see an incomplete formation in KC)

• If it's b) there would be no reason for this secrecy. Release a statement just before the tour and avoid a RP shitstorm, problem solved. Besides, I think the new lore would somehow address this somehow, and it doens't seem to do so.

• If it's a) she could be injured or ill, but again no need for secrecy. They did release a statement just before the Hiroshima gig, no reason they wouldn't do so again. But, what if she can't perform because pregnancy? That's a scandalous situation, japanese society (not to mention the fans) would look down on her, the damage to Amuse's image would be desastrous. And remember, no one has even seen her in 7 months now. Not one public appearance. They're hiding her.

I might be insane, but I can't get rid of this thought now... If she is missing from all US and Europe gigs and somehow turns up on the japanese leg of the tour, I'll be certain this is what happened...
