Well, on January 22, the 18-year-old face and leader of Keyakizaka46, Yurina Hirate, announced during Tokyo FM’s SCHOOL OF LOCK! show that she would be “quitting” the group.
While she “loves performing as Keyakizaka” the 22-year-old felt that her “performance wasn’t enough” and was only performing “half-heartedly.”
With company restructuring, and the face of Nogizaka46 graduating, what else could happen to the groups in the first month of the decade?
