Notice about Kamiya Saki's withdrawal

*translation of official site notice 

We're truly thankful for your constant support to GANG PARADE.

About Kamiya Saki, since the end of rental trade, as a member of GANG PARADE, she herself has been troubled about the meaning of continuing activities, and as result of several talks between her and the staff it was decided that she will be leaving GANG PARADE on 5/22 at Nakano Sunplaza live of MY FIRST HALL TOUR. The tour final on the next day 5/23 will be the first stage with the new formation after Kamiya Saki's withdrawal. We apologize immensely it became such an abrupt announcement to all asobinin who were always supportive. We kindly ask for you to continue supporting GANG PARADE from now on.

The following is her own statement.

Kamiya Saki comment.

In this occasion I, Kamiya Saki

will be leaving GANG PARADE on 5/22  at Nakano Sunplaza stage of MY FIRST HART TOUR.

GANG PARADE was the group I wanted to start myself after BiS disbandment on 2014.

Without understanding any thing, among several things not going well, to be able to come this far, to have been able to realize my dreams a little,

it's all because of everyone's support since the beginning.

Regardless, I'm truly sorry I made the decision to abandon things midway.

After the rental trade

I couldn't pull GANG PARADE with the same energy as the years before,

and the times I thought “me being in the group, is it really the best for GANG PARADE?” increased.

The members, Watanabe-san and staff tried to stop me from quitting but,

seeing the members filled with curiosity and fighting spirit

GANG PARADE isn't my group anymore, it's everyone's group, I wanted to be in a position to watch over the GANG PARADE that everyone will build,

I thought I should pass the baton to the juniors, so I made the decision to withdrawal.

The memories and recollections of my 7 years as an idol.

Members, GANG PARADE, staff, WACK girls, asobinin, after all the activities I did, the time I spent with everyone I met is irreplaceable, my precious treasure for life.

I had a lot of experiences one couldn't normally have, to have come here is thanks to everyone,

by no means I'm leaving because everyone's strength was lacking, it was my own insufficiency.

Meeting everyone made me stronger.

Thank you very much.

I love you.

Until 5/22,

the WACK tour and GANPARE Hall tour, I got many opportunities to meet everyone around the country.

To be able to return the feelings I received from everyone until now,

and to be able to take GANG PARADE to even higher places,

until the very last moment I stand on stage as Kamiya Saki I'll give my best, using all the power left in me.

GANG PARADE will continue.

As my last duty, I want to create 5 months that will connect to GANG PARADE's future.

I'm counting on you until the end.

And also counting on your support to GANG PARADE from now on as well.

GANG PARADE transformed in prostitutes, details of the new play by Nemoto Shuko are announced

The details of the new musical written and produced by Nemoto Shuko starring GANG PARADED revealed.

The first collaboration between Nemoto and Parco Produce. The title is “Playhouse”, and it depicts the meeting between the Kabukicho prostitute Miki (with a habit of hiding things since an early age) and the Kabukicho host Ichinose Seiya (raised being spoiled).

All GANPARE members play prostitutes, Isomura Hayato will play the character of Seiya. Joining the cast are Kurihara Louis, Torigoe Yuki, Tomizawa Kazuhito (Haegiwa), Blue & Sky, Nekoze Tsubaki (Otona Keikaku). The play will be performed from August 25th to September 1st in Tokyo at Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre, and on September 28th in Osaka at Morinomiya Piloti Hall. Ticket sales will start on June 22nd at the theaters respective play guides.

Nemoto Shuko comment

This time I received the proposition of making a project like a summer festival for first Parco Produce, when I thought about what I wanted to do, what came to my mind was making a musical with the group I've been a fan of since before, “GANG PARADE”! There's obviously the aspect of GANPARE songs being good, but I also find fascinating the emotion, performance and drama que group itself has with member changes etc. The member's emotion and emotion from the world I write overlaps, I'm excited that a piece not seen until now will come to life. The cast starts with Isomura-san, gathering people who work with plays and pictures that I wanted to work with someday. As a play it welcomes GANPARE's first stage as actors, something you don't see normally, and with a unique cast with people experienced in acting I believe you can except something great to happen. People who don't watch plays usually, GANPARE fans, theater play fans, and everyone related to entertainment, please come see what the match of idols and theater play can do. I certainly believe this new art will open a door of pleasure within everyone.

P.S. Everyone in GANPARE will be playing the roles of prostitutes. To all fans, I'll apologize in advance, I'm sorry.

GANG PARADE comment

We'll challenge in our first theater stage performance. Moreover in a musical with our own songs, we can't imagine it right now but anyhow, it's exciting! With overwhelming lines of Nemoto-san's plays, and interesting unexpected developments, we're anxious of entering that properly but, with the help of Nemoto-san and an experienced cast, we'll give our best. With a different arrange of songs and choreography than usual, and with the play, we believe you'll see us completely different from lives. We'll be happy if you come to watch our first stage in the theaters.

Isomura Hayato comment

It'll be my first work in a musical with original script by Nemoto-san. Moreover with everyone full of character from GANG PARADE-san. In an unimaginable stage, from now I'm filled with excitement. Even so, I also feel it's an occasion for a new challenge. What kind of chemistry will happen by co-starring with the girls, in a newly produced world, my curiosity blood is effervescing. We'll start practicing from now but, I'll run into it so everyone's overflowing feelings can be conveyed.
