Statement from Ichioka Reina[3]
|
|---|
| Thank you for always supporting me.
Hello everyone, it's been a long time. This is Ichioka Reina. Since December, I've been on break from my activities due to poor health and I truly apologize for the inconvenience this has caused fans and everyone else. Though there are times when my health is good, ultimately it's unstable and I have decided to graduate because returning under these circumstances will be very difficult. To the members of BEYOOOOONDS who filled in for me at concerts and on the radio while I was on hiatus, I appreciate it so much. Thank you. It's been 12 years since I entered Hello Project as a trainee, and this August will mark 5 years since BEYOOOOONDS' major debut. I've known that this was something I want to do since I was little! I wasn't always thinking about it, but when I auditioned, even though I didn't pass, I decided "I definitely want to debut as an idol in Hello! Project!" A dream I found via my own will. All the happy and frustrating times in Hello! Pro Kenshuusei. Being able to work as a member of BEYOOOOONDS and CHICA#TETSU, there are so many memories that I can't put into words. To everyone who found and watched over me, in this age of so many idols: truly, thank you so much. I'm sorry that I'm unable to express my gratitude to you directly. Thank you for all the comments on my blog, even while I was on break. I still read all of them. If the memory of me lingers somewhere in your heart, that's enough to make me happy. BEYOOOOONDS (and CHICA#TETSU, Ame no Mori Kawa Umi, and SeasoningS) is a group with an unusual approach compared to the rest of Hello! Project. They have so many good qualities! I'm sure they'll continue to bring you performances that grow your imagination and evoke a kinder world. Thank you for your continued support of BEYOOOOONDS, CHICA#TETSU, Ame no Mori Kawa Umi, and SeasoningS. I'm cheering for them right along with you. To the members, staff, and everyone else, and to all the fans who have supported me: thank you for all of your love. Ichioka Reina (BEYOOOOONDS/CHICA#TETSU) |
