Hello! This post will be really sad, as today(well technically yesterday if you count Japanese Time Zone) Hello-Project official site has announced, that Arihara Kanna decided to come back to normal girl’s life and thus she leaves ℃-ute and Hello!Project as well – without any Graduation Concert or anything like this.
As you may know – since February she was absent from all the ℃-ute activities, due to bunion deformity. I think many fans went out to Wikipedia or any other encyclopedia to look this up(or someone already knew what was this – I know I didn’t) and they could see that the operation required to fix this is not very difficult and doesn’t give any further consequences as well as the rehab time is pretty short. But since February up until now – Kanna didn’t appear. We all waited, some of us lost hope of her ever returning. But as of today, all our hopes fell down, shot by the official statement – Kanna will be no more.
I really have mixed feelings about this. Yes, I will miss Kanna in ℃-ute, I will really miss her voice, her character. And I think that ℃-ute lost a great member. But if that’s really what Kanna wants, they who am I to make her change her mind(let’s pretend that we could) – I completely understand her wish to be just normal. Because however you think it’s cool – idol life is really cruel, full of sad moments and unpleasant surprises. After all – it’s a full-scale and really hard work. So I understand why one could wish to just stop it all at once and be normal human being, with human being’s problems and happy moments.
So how ever I would miss Kanna – I want – from the very depth of my heart – wish her luck with her normal life, I wish her to be happy as she probably would be in her normal life and I hope that this is what she really wanted.
I don’t want to mention any rumours that circled around back there, when one of the magazines published Kanna’s photos with a boy(which being as a H!P member is not permitted) – which sparkled up again(if they ever stopped). I just don’t want to add fuel to this rumour fire. Whatever the rumours are – Kanna now has a right to do what she wants and to be with whomever she wants.
Thanks for what you have been for us Kanna. Good bye and Good Luck!
