Comment from Suzuki Kanon

I, Kanon Suzuki, will graduate from Morning Musume。’16 and Hello! Project at the end of the Morning Musume。’16 Spring Tour. After I became a member, 5 years have passed, I thought about lots of things since last year about the current version of me and about my future. During those 5 years, I have been able to meet many people as Morning Musume。, I had many experiences and I have learned many important things about living. I became a member of Morning Musume。 I admired since I was small, and I believe through our activities we made many people smiled with our songs and performances. I do not know how far those feelings reached everyone but I really tried my best at the fullest. Since last year I seriously thought about my future, and since I was really small I thought "I want to help people" so from now on, what can I do? Every activities as Morning Musume。was meaningful and fun, and during one of them, the event "SATOYAMA movement", "SATOUMI movement", I have been in contact with people with a beautiful smile and I thought little by little it would be great if I can do the same work. There are many forms of "Being helpful to people"... but from now on, I feel strongly that I want to help people in another way, I want to make people smile, I want to make them happy. For this first step, I decided "I want a work related to the welfare" to go towards to my dream. For that reason, as a human I have to experience and study various things. Not as "Kanon Suzuki from Morning Musume。", but as "Kanon Suzuki", in order to live this life, I have decided to graduate to fulfill my new dream. I will continue Morning Musume。 activities to make those activies nourishe me, also to cherish the time as Morning Musume。 and to not forget the feeling of gratitude I receive from everyone. Thank you for Morning Musume。'16 and for Kanon Suzuki. February 7th 2016 Morning Musume。'16 Kanon Suzuki

Comment from UP-FRONT PROMOTION

Thank you for your continued support towards Hello! Project and Morning Musume。'16. Kanon Suzuki, Morning Musume。'16 member, will graduate from Morning Musume。'16 and Hello! Project at the end of Morning Musume。'16 Spring tour. Kanon Suzuki entered Morning Musume。 as a member of the 9th generation in 2011 and then performed for more than 5 years. She reported last year “I want to study to have a work related to the welfare”. After a discussion, it came to the conclusion of graduating at the end of the Spring Concert Tour of 2016. After her graduation she will follow another road, but I think she can take advantage of those 5 years of activities and experiences and she voluntary leaves with her own cheerfulness character and smile, and we will support her. During the remaining time until her graduation, she will try her best more and more as a Morning Musume。’16. Please continue to support Morning Musume。’16 and Kanon Suzuki.

2020

In August 2020, rumors began spreading that Suzuki has a YouTube channel called "Tamago Egg", created on November 22, 2018, where she posts food videos. There are clues that point to it being Suzuki by her moles, apron, and movement, but nothing is officially confirmed as of yet.

At the same time, rumors also began spreading that there was a cover YouTube channel under the name "Kasane" (重音) that could also possibly be Suzuki due to the voice in the cover, the use of green to write her name, using the 音 kanji, and having August 5, as her announcement day. However, there is no confirmation that this is actually Suzuki yet.
