After the dust appeared to have settled following their loss of Kiki Asakura to injury, nine-member idol group Tsubaki Factory announced that member Kisora Niinuma will being also be taking a short hiatus due to an injury. Niinuma stated that she lost her balance while going down the stairs, fracturing her coccyx, and will unfortunately be taking a one-month break to let it heal. Like with Asakura’s news, this one broke out just in the middle of Tsubaki Factory’s live tour which now Niinuma and Asakura will unfortunately not continue with. Niinuma stated that, as sorry as she is to her fellow members and fans, she wants her injury to properly heal and, once recovered, show her fans the high level of performance she knows she can exhibit.

We at Ongaku To You wish Niinuma a speedy recovery and hope to see her back on stage soon.
