In 2000, Heike was interviewed for Dreamcast Magazine, where she was asked by the interviewer whether she was bitter about the fact that Morning Musume, a group formed out of five runner-ups from the audition she won, had become a national idol group while Heike's career was not as popular in comparison. Her response was as follows:

"I have been observing the unit’s progress closely, and the members have been working so hard, so I have never felt bitter. But, whenever we had the joint live concerts, most of the audience were obviously the fans of Morning Musume, and I couldn’t understand why at first. I mean, I never wondered why Morning Musume was appealing, but I wondered why I couldn't get as much attention from those people. So I was performing, hoping to gain as much of their attention as I could in any way possible. My intention and the effort seemed to be paid off, for I now have a lot of steady fans who have been supporting me for 2 years. I am happy with the way it turned out."

Statement from Michiyo[17][18]
This is an announcement from Michiyo.

Thank you for coming to visit my Instagram every day✨

These days, I realized that I've found a new life goal of becoming a therapist.

I originally thought I could pursue it at the same time as being a singer-songwriter,
but they require completely different modes of thinking.

After stopping to think about it for a while,
I'm going to cease activities as a singer-songwriter
and walk along a new path.

I've realized that 24 years have passed since my debut.
Even though I could always return after not being in the public eye,
There's a strain in my unconsciousness.
Because of this position, I was able to work so hard for myself, but
Because of this position, it was so hard for me.
It was always so confusing.

In order to firmly change the feelings I have within myself,
I'll bring down the curtain and call it a retirement.

To all the fans who have supported me since the old days,
I apologize from the bottom of my heart
that I wasn't able to keep holding on to performing.

✴︎

Finally, I was able to release the song Luminous.
For the first time, I created something with a worldview that exceeded my imagination.

Since I was little, I dreamed of being a songwriter
and I'm very satisfied to leave this piece of work behind me.
This is the best result for me.

✴︎

In the future, I'll have the freedom to express myself and my creativity differently than with J-POP.
While I raise my children,
I'll work hard to help people.

To everyone who has supported my work until now,
And everyone who has ever supported me,
From the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful.

Truly, thank you.✨

✴︎

The world continues to be full of anxieties.

I think there's a lot of confusion related to the Corona pandemic.

However, I think everyone has noticed that our everyday lives were changed by the pandemic.
Things that we thought were obvious feel less obvious.

Be grateful for the things that exist.
Be grateful for the people who exist.

Instead of criticizing the ideas that differ from your own,
we should share ideas and make things better together.
I wish for a society that makes everyone smile.

I wish you all good health and happiness.
I wish you all the best.

Thank you.

Content from privated Instagram post: 兄が七夕の日に送ってくれた オーストリアの夜空。 普段見えていないだけでこれだけの星が 存在している事に圧倒されます ✴︎ Michiyoよりお知らせです。 日頃よりInstagramを見てくださってありがとうございます✨ 日々過ごして行く中でセラピストという 新たな目標が見つかりました。 当初はシンガーソングライターと 同時進行しようと思っていたのですが やはり自分の中で全く違う思考回路だと気付きました。 一度しっかり立ち止まり考えた結果 シンガーソングライターとしての活動を 終了し新しい道を歩いていこうと思います。 気づけばデビューしてから約24年の 年月が流れいて 表に出ていない時もいつでも戻れるように 無意識に気持ちを引き締めていて この立場があるから頑張れていた自分と この立場があるからしんどかった自分が いつも混同していました。 自分の中で気持ちの切り替えをしっかりする為に 引退というカタチで幕を下ろさせて頂きます。 前々から応援してくださったファンの皆様には 活動がしっかり継続できなかった事を 心からお詫び致します。 ✴︎ 最後にLuminousという曲をreleaseできた事。 初めて自分が思い描いていた以上の世界観の 作品に仕上げて頂いて 幼い頃からソングライターの夢を持っていた自分にとって とても満足させて頂く作品を残す事ができました。 この事が私にとって最善の結果です。 ✴︎ 今後はJ-POPとは違う創作や自己表現を自由にしながら 子育てと共に人のお役に立てるように 精進して参ります。 今まで私の活動にご協力してくださった皆様、 そして何より活動を応援してくださった皆様に 心から感謝致します。 本当にありがとうございました✨ ✴︎ まだまだ不安が続く世の中。 このコロナ禍で色んな混乱があるかと思います。 けれどこのコロナ禍で当たり前の日常が変わってしまった分、 当たり前は当たり前ではなかった事に 誰もが気づいたのではないかと思います。 在る者•物に感謝して 自分と違う意見を批判し合うのではなく 良くすべくは共にアイディアを出し合い改善して 皆が笑顔になる社会になる事を願います。 それでは皆様のご健康とご多幸を 心よりお祈りしております。 ありがとうございました。 2021年7月10日 Michiyo
