Kimura's Message

I know Nugoshiko recently left the group,and that was hard on all her fans who wanted her to debut.I have alot of fans too,I guess,but I just don't want to be in the idol life no more.It is hard for me to be around my friends without them being mad at me for debuting and not spending enough time with them.True friends don't do that,but at the moment,I don't have any true friends.Sometimes,I can't even attend family events due to lives and events.

Forgive me about the late notice,but this day will be my last day as a Up beat Styles! member.I liked being an idol,but I guess you can't be an idol and have a normal life at the same time.From this day on,please continue to support me on my own way and please continue to support Up beat Styles!.
