Keyakizaka46’s Hirate Yurina returned as center for the group’s 8th single “Kuroi Hitsuji”. The single was the eighth consecutive single which Hirate has been the center.
And on February 22nd, fans got to see recovered Hirate return on TV Asahi’s “Music Station”.
Keyakizaka46’s Hirate Yurina (17) had battled with injuries since 2017, but things took a bad turn back in September 2018 when Hirate fell 6.5 feet off stage during a performance at a nationwide arena performance at Chiba Makuhari Messe. While she was diagnosed with light bruises, it appears that she is suffering from pain that will take her out of Keyakizaka46 temporarily.
Hirate did not perform on “MUSIC STATION SUPER LIVE 2018” or “NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen”.
Comments ranged from:
Yurina’s performance was wonderful!
It’s been a long time since we saw Hirate Yurina’s perform.
I almost cried, she is a real idol.
