Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

It was announced on the evening of December 7th that Kishi Honka, a 4th generation member of “Hinatazaka46”, will be leaving the group due to her request to withdraw from activities.

Regarding Kishi, who has been taking a break since October due to poor health, the official website states, “Kishi has requested to withdraw from his activities. We will provide separate information regarding the rescheduling of meet and greets, etc., but we respect her wishes and apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your continued support of Kishi Honoka and Hinatazaka46”.

Kishi herself updated her blog with the title, “Thank you for your hard work. I’m Kishi Honoka. I, Kishi Honoka, will withdraw from Hinatazaka46’s activities due to poor health. About two months before I went on hiatus, I was not feeling well and couldn’t do as much as I wanted to, so I had been undergoing medical treatment for a while. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my fans for making this sudden announcement. I feel so sorry. I think this blog is the last opportunity for me to share this with everyone as Hinatazaka’s Kishi Honoka”.
