SKE48’s Takayanagi Akane Undergoes Vocal Cord Nodule Surgery
SKE48 member Takayanagi Akane announced that she had undergone surgery to remove vocal cord nodules.
For those who might know what they are, nodules are basically growths on the vocal cord that are benign (meaning they aren’t harmful).
According to her, the nodules developed about a year ago and were causing shortness of breath alongside a hoarse voice. The surgery took place April 21st.
Idols depend on their voices so it’s not surprising to see that problems might happen from time to time. Thankfully, the surgery was a success and she is able to talk, but it seems like it might take time until she is fully recovered.
Regardless, we’re looking forward to seeing her back on stage ready to sing soon!
Rev. From DVL’s Takahashi Nanami and Kouya Honami Announce Graduation
Kouya Honami
Takahashi Nanami
Rev. from DVL has announced that Takahashi Nanami and Kouya Honami will be graduating from the group.
Their graduation is set for May 28th with a special concert in Fukuoka planned.
Takahashi will be leaving the group due to complications with her scoliosis, and she has been advised to stop activities with the group as a result. Naturally, the life of an idol wears out the body so her decision is expected for her health.
Kouya will be graduating due to her wanting to continue her education in college. It might be a common reason for wanting to leave, but education is always something that holds a priority.
Like always, graduations are sad for fans but it seems like both members have important reasons to leave the group. We wish both Takahashi Nanami and Kouya Honami the best of luck!
Little Glee Monster “My Best Friend” MV Released
Little Glee Monster has released the MV for My Best Friend.
Releasing May 11th, this single will be available in a Regular and Limited version, which will contain the MV for Chiisa na Koi ga, Owatta.
Unfortunately this MV is region locked so I’m unable to fully enjoy it, but there are CMs with the song where you can hear snippets and it sounds pretty solid from what I can tell (I’ll attach one after the break).
Likewise the coupling song for the single titled Happy Gate has a CM with a decently long preview and we get to hear the talented vocals from this idol group.
If you’re able to watch it make sure to get a copy if you enjoy it!
