I think it took a lot of courage for her to decide to take a leave of absence and announce it, as well as the treatment. You did a great job. Take some time off, but if you feel anxious, contact your friends, even if it's something trivial! Of course I'll be waiting for you!

Thank you so much for showing us the world's cutest Akane-chan at the Sendai concert the other day, even though Chaki herself was going through a hard time. Your passion for Million moves me every day. I will be waiting for your return for a long time. That is what I can do to produce.
Akane-chan, I'm sure you'll recover completely!
