Announcement by Bando Nozomi[14]
Thank you for your warm support.

This time, I am pleased to announce that I am leaving LDH JAPAN.

I have been indebted (to the company) for 14 years, counting from before the debut of Flower and E-girls. I am surprised myself that so much time has passed as I write this.

Thanks to HIRO, the many staff members, seniors, and friends, I have been able to see many sights that I could not have seen on my own. The 14 years I spent at LDH were definitely my youth.

The times are changing rapidly, and as time progresses, I came to this decision because I wanted to challenge myself by changing the environment from a place that has always warmly watched over me.

I am sorry if I have surprised you with my sudden announcement, but I will continue to work as usual. I will do my best every day in a new environment so that I can give you all many happy reports! I would be very happy if you all could continue to watch over me.

I would like to ask for your continued support for Bando Nozomi.
