RAN

Dear YOU:ME members, it's been a while.

This is RAN.

First of all, I'm truly sorry for surprising you with this sudden announcement..

During my hiatus, I faced myself and struggled repeatedly, which led me to this decision.

From now on, I would like to do my best to repay the kindness I was unable to fully repay.

For all of you who love me, I will become Ran Ishii, striving to grow and work harder..

I'm sorry for keeping you waiting so long.

I love YOU:ME.

Thank you for everything.

SHIZUKU

It's been a while. This is SHIZUKU.

As my contract has expired, I have decided to end my activities with ME:I.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the fans and everyone involved who has supported me.

And first and foremost, I have something to say to all my fans.

I sincerely apologize for the concern and inconvenience caused by my conduct. I deeply regret having hurt and confused so many people with my immature behavior, which lacked awareness of my responsibilities as an idol.

During my hiatus, a time of hesitation and conflict, I was deeply grateful for the kind words and unwavering support from all of you, YOU:ME.

I have also taken time to think about myself and my future. This decision has been reached after much deliberation.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the people involved who have supported me so far, and to the members I have worked with.

It is my sincere hope that ME:I will continue to be loved by many people and shine brightly into the future.

I apologize for making this announcement in this manner.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported and encouraged SHIZUKU of ME:I to date.

Thank you so much for everything up until now.
