The official website of Nogizaka46 was updated on the 23rd. There was a statement about Hayakawa Seira’s (22) remarks on NHK Radio 1 “Rajira! Sunday” broadcast on the 21st.

On the official website, “On NHK Radio 1 ‘Rajira! Sunday’ which was broadcast on 5/21 (Sunday), Hayakawa Seira made a statement about the concert director SEIGO, and the staff, as a result of interviewing the members, it was confirmed that there were some points in SEIGO’s behavior and guidance that went too far.

However, quoting Sayaka Kakehashi’s stage fall accident last summer and saying, “It’s your fault that Sayaka Kakehashi fell down”, was not true.

In addition, “As a result of discussions with SEIGO, there were misleading statements, and in view of the fact that there were members who had a different perception from SEIGO’s intentions. SEIGO requested his resignation.

Kakehashi had broken bones after falling off the stage during the national tour Tokyo performance held at Jingu Stadium on August 29 last year. In a blog update on April 2 this year, she wrote, “When I fell, I broke a part of my face and had lacerations in two places. I also lost one tooth and broke three around it. As a result, I lost his nerve function. Currently, I am undergoing treatment to make the sutured scars less noticeable, dental treatment, and facial muscle rehabilitation”.
