Beaute de Kose to be discontinued

Just read on 2Channel that Beaute de Kose will be discontinued in September 2011. It is not yet confirmed if it will be replaced by another brand. In Japan, the counters have been merged with the Cosme Decorte counters, which also belong to Kose. No wonder the official website has been neglected since early this year, without even any update on the Summer Fantasist coffret which will be released on 1 June. It's always sad to see a good brand go.
