Announcement by Shigetome Manami[7]
Thank you for your warm support.


It is with great sadness that I announce that as of today, March 31, 2023, I will be leaving LDH JAPAN Inc. after 17 years with the company.

I have been with LDH JAPAN for about 17 years.
Counting from EXPG, I have really spent more than half of my life (with them).
I started performing in elementary school, so looking back, I have many memories and had many experiences.
My youth is definitely in LDH JAPAN.
Above all, the time I have spent as Flower and E-girls are my treasures and assets.

I am truly grateful to HIRO and all my seniors, EXPG Miyazaki School, EXPG staff, LDH staff, and most of all, E-girls members and fans who have supported me from elementary school to 28 years old for raising me.

From now on, I will continue to work as a freelance entertainer, and at the same time, I have the opportunity to work at an international preschool, where I will be able to work with children which I love. I would like to start a new life by using my life experience to pass on the joy of dance, the wonder of having a dream, strength, and the spirit of never giving up to the children of the future!
Although this is a new path for me, I would like to make the most of my experience and have a good time!

You only live once.
Cherish the life you have and the time you have now, and love your life.
That is how I will live mine!

I know this is a sudden report, but I am thinking of staying connected with you all somewhere in the future, so please continue to give me your warm support!
