WONDER SNAKE member Hizumi Iris Hijiri has passed away

It was announced on August 4th on the Twitter of WONDER SNAKE that member Hizumi Iris Hijiri has passed away. The live performance in Nagoya would be held as planned.

The official WONDER SNAKE Twitter released the official statement, “Hizumi Iris Hijiri who has been on hiatus, has passed away. Everyone involved is still in disbelief at the sudden news regarding our hardworking and clumsy Hijiri. The members of WONDER SNAKE, talking with Hijiri’s parents, also wanted us to continue and continue what Hijiri left behind. So, we decided to continue doing live performances. WONDER SNAKE will continue on from today. I hope you will remember the song of the idols”.

WONDER SNAKE leader Suimin wrote, “It’s today’s live. I don’t have anything to organize my mind, but I’ll be performing at the live. She continued to stand on the stage, so I will definitely go to the live, thank you very much. It’s an unbelievable and unacceptable report, but please RT so that it reaches as many people as possible who know Hijiri. Hijicha often tweeted while saying, ‘What should I do if it becomes a million buzz! (in a happy way)?’, I’m full of emotions that I can’t do it. For more than two years, I’ve been able to see each other more than my family. Hijiri is really a hard worker, but she’s also clumsy. But I wanted to celebrate our birthday as much as possible. I want to continue my idol activities while imitating Hijiri’s good points. Our current members will continue to work together”.

Hijiri began in July 2019 and officially joined the group in March 2020. She was active for two and a half years until their 3rd anniversary in July this year.

On July 30th, Hijiri tweeted, “Recently, when I was on the train home after today’s live, I fell asleep, passed by the nearest station twice, and got off on the third. The feeling is a little different from the usual falling asleep. What is this?”.

最近のわたし、
今日のライブ終わり電車で帰ってたら寝てて最寄りを2回通り過ぎて3回目で降りた😥
家だと気づいたら寝てる、気付いたら起きて時間進んでることばっかり🥲
寝落ちした記憶が無くていつもの寝落ちと感覚ちょっと違う😞💭
これはなんなのでしょうか…………
