Translation of the official statement;
Thank you for always supporting Hello Project. There is some important news today concerning Morning Musume.
Fujimoto Miki will resign from Morning Musume, effective June 1, 2007.
A report concerning Fujimoto Miki appeared in the weekly magazine "FRIDAY", which went on sale on Friday, May 25, 2007. The facts contained in that article were confirmed by Fujimoto, which was the person in question, and we have discussed this with her two or more times leading up to today. The ideal way to proceed with a group containing a lot of minors was discussed, and there was a proposal from Fujimoto Miki: "I would like to resign as leader of Morning Musume." Our company has acknowledged & accepted this offer.
She will preform as a member of GAM with Matsuura Aya on their current tour, which began last week (5/26), and the tour will continue on schedule. Moreover, please acknowledge that Fujimoto will not be performing in the concert to be held in July, "Hello! Project 2007 Summer 10th Anniversary Daikansha Matsuri ~ Hello Pro Natsu Matsuri~". Takahashi Ai will now serve as the leader of Morning Musume, and Niigaki Risa, subleader.
Please continue supporting Hello! Project in the future.

Fujimoto Miki comment;
To all my fans and supporters.
I, as leader of Morning Musume, have the role of a guide to the other members. I've violated one of the promises I made as a member of Morning Musume, and I feel a heavy responsibility. I'm very sorry for all the trouble I've caused with my actions. In this way, I cant continue on as leader, and I took it upon myself to resign from Morning Musume.
I feel deeply apologetic towards the fans that have supported me up to now. I'm really sorry. I'd ask you to please support "Fujimoto Miki" in the future.
I wish good luck to both Ai and Risa, I think they will both be a great team together.

You don't to. Mikitty is going to return to her solo career and we're guessing she is going to carry on with GAM.

Maybe this means more GAM stuff, since she'll have more time to devote to it!
