Japanese performer Kanon Senshi has announced her departure from the group WomanSyndrome, citing a decision to pursue activities in a way that better suits her future goals and personal circumstances.
In a statement posted on X, Kanon apologized for the sudden announcement and said she had spent considerable time thinking about what kind of activities and lifestyle she wanted to pursue going forward.
She said her experiences performing onstage with the other members and meeting supporters during her time with WomanSyndrome had been invaluable. However, after considering her future, she decided that leaving the group was the right choice.
Kanon also apologized to those involved with the group for announcing her departure shortly before a planned record-release event, saying she regretted causing inconvenience.
While she will leave WomanSyndrome, Kanon said she intends to continue working independently under the name KANON. She also asked fans to continue supporting the two members with whom she has worked and encouraged them to attend WomanSyndrome’s upcoming record-release event.
“I don’t want to provide something half-hearted,” Kanon said in her statement, explaining that she ultimately chose to step away because she wanted to respect the group and the audience waiting to see them perform.
She did not announce a specific date for her departure in the supplied statement. Further details about her future activities were not provided.
