First of all, I'm sorry to announce this on such short notice.

My vocabulary isn't that good, but let me write my thoughts in my own words.

After many talks with the members, we have come to the conclusion that we are going to take a break.

The fact that I have been able to run through about a year and a half as a singer of RAKUGAKI is an irreplaceable asset for me.

And since I've been an important part of these 4 members, I'm going to take a break from the band.

To all the members, thank you so much.

As for the future... I will use this time to face myself, art and music to grow, blossom and challenge myself more as an artist and vocalist. The future me will be a very strong person, So strong which no one yet can imagine.

It's my pride that I was able to fight for a year and a half with the best music and friends, Who I always could trust in these times.

I'd like to thank everyone who watched RAKUGAKI, everyone who knew me, fans who supported me, staff who pushed me to do this, and everyone who was involved in this project.

The time I can meet you is limited until December 13, but I'll do my best to sing until the end of my life.

I'm really sorry for the confusion caused by this sudden report.

RAKUGAKI has been active since April 5th, last year, and we have been in the midst of an unprecedented situation since the beginning of this year. but we have had many conflicts and discussions during the last months.

We came to the conclusion that it was difficult to sustain the band, not only because of the circumstances, but also because we were not able to reach the results we were aiming for, and the small discrepancies that kept piling up, and most importantly, the band would not be able to continue if we couldn't work with the same level of passion.

It has been more than 5 years since I met the members via my previous band, and we have shared so many hardships and joys together that we are not just members or friends, but family.

It's really heartbreaking to make the decision that December 13th is our last day together and also this day will be very special to the four of us.

In order to make this day the day for us to carve out our future, we are going to push forward even though there are only a few minutes left, but we are looking forward to it.

RAKUGAKI has decided to suspend its activities. We apologize to all the fans and all concerned for being confused by the sudden report. We have been active since April 5, 2019, but as I continued our activities, there was a difference in our goals as a band. We had many meetings to reaffirm each idea, but we came up with the answer of suspension of activity.

It wasn't a long period of activity, but it was the most enjoyable band that I was able to put out a lot of songs and had various experiences by performing live not only in Tokyo but also in various places.

Thank you for loving RAKUGAKI.

I would like to express my gratitude to all the fans and the people concerned. We will play with all our soul until the last one-man on December 13th, and deliver RAKUGAKI's music with all our might. We have little time left, but thank you until the end.

Sorry to confuse you with this sudden announcement, RAKUGAKI will be going on hiatus by the end of 2020.

Thank you to everyone who has been excited and supported me since the beginning of my activities on April 5, 2019, to all the fans who followed me, and to all the people involved in my activities who have helped me every day. Their support in my RAKUGAKI activities has been invaluable to me at any time.

However, we couldn't achieve our goal for the future, and after many talks among the members, we finally decided to stop our activities.

I'm sorry that we couldn't be strong enough to see the reality of what we had dreamed of.

Thank you for making the activities of us 4 members a reality. Thank you for finding me, thank you for knowing me, thank you for liking me.

I can only think back on the fun times and the painful times now, and I am so grateful to have spent time with you all and to have met you.

The Last Live December 13, 2020 Ikebukuro EDGE Solo Performance 「ラクガキは爆発だ!! (Rakugaki wa bakuhatsuda! !)」 There are only a few live days left until the day of the last live, but I'm going to give my best until the end, so if you have time, I'd be happy if you could come to see our show at least once.

Please let us share our feelings together!
