it's still undecided whether she'll be able to attend future concerts, but adjustments and announcements on her concert participations will be done in the future.

she has issues on hearing/handling noises which she has always had since a kid. the whole time kage was only getting by because staff made adjustments to the volume of her in-ears, etc., but to retain her hearing intact she'll have to start dropping out from concerts.

The rest of her blog translation.

I hope her condition can improve in the future.



But talking about good news, kage chan is doing very well in the broadcast of the world cup. She predicted the final score of the game japan vs spain and she said that mitoma (the scorer of the 2nd goal of japan) would be important in the game.



She was trending in twitter again and there are a lot articles about her in japanese media
Praising her knowledge and analysis of football. She has increased her Instagram followers a lot , 2 days ago she had like 307,000, right now she has 362,000 followers.

Yuuka has just announced her graduation in a blog post:
https://www.hinatazaka46.com/s/official/diary/detail/49244

She'll be leaving after the release of the next single. It's a very long post, it looks like she's been thinking about her future for some months.

 

All the best to her. Thought football and the world cup would have been a big break for her , maybe it'll still be in the future

 

It's always sad to see someone graduate due to health reasons. I can't imagine how painful it is to have ear issues at such loud events like the concerts.

 

Happy graduation, Kagechan! Wish the best for her!

 

Dang. Just as I was starting to understand Kagechan's charm...

Happy graduation! I wish for her all the happiness in the world!

 

sigh.. kinda expected this to happen.
its must be painful for her to be an idol but have to perform less because her health

wish all the best for her future endeavor.

 

I wish you all the best, Kagechan!

 

Kinda saw this coming. Good thing is she is talented in many areas so we'll likely see her in quiz shows or sport shows or even actress in the future.
