It was announced on the Nogizaka46 official website on Sept. 17th that Kiyomiya Rei will be suspending some activities due to poor health.

According to the statement posted, “Rei Kiyomiya has been feeling unwell, and as a result of consulting with her, some group activities have been suspended for the time being. We apologize for causing concern to fans and everyone involved, but we appreciate your understanding”/

Kiyomiya posted on her official blog, “I apologize for causing concern to everyone who always supports me. I am currently taking a break from work. Since around May, I’ve been getting sick more and more, and it’s become difficult to face live performances and shoots in perfect condition. I always want to show my good side to my fans, so whenever I’m on the stage, I’ve been doing my best at 200%, but maybe I’ve exceeded my limit somewhere that I don’t even notice. From now on, I will try to be able to participate in work little by little while monitoring my physical condition. Rather than suspending all work, I think the word save is more correct. I want to do my best in the future, so I would be happy if you would support me warmly at that time”.

Kiyomiya is a 4th generation member who joined in November 18th and is a bright and positive member popular with fans. She is a regular on TBS’ “Love It!” and hosts Berg presents Nogizaka46 no Nogizaka ni Sodanda!” on Tokyo FM.
