"Bye Bye Bye!" is the eighth single by the Japanese idol group Cute. It was released on April 15, 2009,[1] both as a normal CD and a limited edition CD + DVD package.[2] Both editions contained a card with a serial number on it used in a draw, as a promotional event for the single. Since Kanna Arihara was not performing at the time of recording (before later leaving the group without ever having returned), it was the first single without every current member. Maimi Yajima and Airi Suzuki are the lead vocalists. Mai Hagiwara is the minor vocalist and the center. It debuted at number 4 in the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and remained in the chart for 4 weeks.[3]
