Arihara Kanna

Arihara Kanna (有原栞菜), now known simply as Kanna (栞菜), is a talent signed to BLUE ROSE. She is a former member of the Hello! Project group ℃-ute. She originally joined Hello! Project as a member of Hello! Pro Egg in 2004 and was put in ℃-ute in 2006. On July 11, 2009 she resigned from the group and Hello! Project without a graduation ceremony.

2004
Arihara Kanna joined Hello! Project in 2004 from the Hello! Pro Egg auditions. She was a member of Tomoiki Ki wo Uetai, but then graduated to be placed into ℃-ute in January 2006.

She was one of the members of Little Gatas who was not added to the other Gatas teams.

2009
On February 26, 2009, it was announced that Arihara was having difficulty performing onstage due to having bunion deformity, and would not be able to attend the HELLO! 10TH PARTY2 event that week. She would also be absent from Hello! Project activities, including activities in °C-ute, while receiving treatment and the rest of °C-ute had to keep performing as a 6 member band, releasing two singles without her.

Before Arihara ever returned to the group, Hello! Project announced in July that she had left the group and would not be returning in the future.

Hello! Project sadly announced that she has left both °C-ute and the Hello! Project. She stopped C-ute and H!P activities due to the bunion, but many fans agreed that this was a most probable truth when comparing pictures of her feet. On July 9, after her 4 months absence, Arihara has since decided that she no longer wants to be part of the idol world, and return to the life of a normal girl.

However, other sources have claimed that the bunion was not the only reason why Arihara left Hello! Project, and that a previous scandal which came to light almost a year ago involving her on a date with a Johnny's Entertainment's member, Hashimoto Ryosuke.

Arihara, along with four other members of ℃-ute and Berryz Koubou left the Hello! Project futsal team, Gatas Brilhantes H.P.. The members left of their own violition due to feeling that they could not perform as high level players due to their level of ability.

2010
Arihara made a return to the public eye in early 2010, when Umeda Erika revealed on her blog how they were still in touch with each other. In May, Arihara opened her official blog. In June, it was revealed that she was a talent signed to BLUE ROSE with her stage name simply becoming Kanna.

2011
Kanna will be in a movie titled “Joshikousei Tokumu Sousakan Nagi & Saya" the release date is set for 7/22.
