In surprising news shocking fans, Kanon Amemiya, leader of the popular idol group Hachimitsu Rocket, announced that she will be graduating from the group. Her last live will be June 8. The news came from the group’s one-woman live which took place over the Golden Week holiday. Amemiya commented that when she deeply thinks of her future she doesn’t see herself continuing as the leader of the group. This may be because she doesn’t see herself sharing the same path and dreams of her fellow members, and she feels that it would be rude of her to continue down that path she does not feel compassionate about. She also added that she is happy for all of the support that she has received from both the fans and her fellow members and that she hopes that they will support her in her future endeavors. We at Ongaku To You wish her the very best with her new calling.
