Numerous Keyakizaka46 members will not be appearing and performing at VIVA LA POP in Saitama on May 6th

Hirate Yurina of Keyakizaka46 is one of the well-known members of the group.  She has been the choreography center for the Keyakizaka46 and when the group released their first single “Silent Majority” back in 2016, she was the youngest member of the group.

Hirate was unable to perform on a TV performance back in March and also at the group’s “2nd YEAR ANNIVERSARY LIVE” back in April due to a schedule conflict.

And it was announced that Hirate will not be performing at the May 6th performance at VIVA LA POP at Saitama Super Arena.

Earlier in the week, it was announced that Shida Manaka (19) would temporarily halt any group activity due to poor physical condition and Harada Aoi (17) for academic activities.

Also, Imaizumi Yui would not be performing, because she is sick.

Management apologized and said that 17 members will be participating in the live performance and they will do their best to deliver the best performance with 17 people.
