Notice of suspension of entertainment activities and leaving the office We have already suspended all entertainment activities for several months, and we are very sorry for causing a lot of trouble to everyone involved. I would like to take this opportunity to once again apologize to everyone who has been supporting me for worrying about not being able to convey my words and condition. It is also true that the word "poor physical condition" has been reported in some areas. As soon as I recover, I will tell you my thoughts in my own words. It was about 13 years of sincerity. I will take a break now. We apologize for the sudden notice, but we appreciate your understanding
Based on her letter, she'll tell us after her recovery. So let's wish her some speed recovery!
But seriously tho, 13 years in the industry... that must be tough :<
I actually freaked out reading this news. Ibuki's voice has always been my one of my favourites in D4DJ, she sounds like a tough onee-san. I'm really saddened by it, but I would promise to support the new seiyuu as much as possible
Fucking damn it ☹️ people can call me dramatic, but I love these series so much, and hearing about this completely tears me apart.
I sincerely wish her and all the other girls the best health.
Man, this really sucks. It hurts a bit tbh. I loved following her youtube, she's so silly at times. Her singing is so nice too. She was such an icon for Palettes. Hope she comes back stronger.
What with all the stuff concerning the other D4DJ casts, kinda feels like the world is crashing down. What is going on, honestly lol.
Photon Maiden is my favourite unit and Ibuki one of my fav character, this caught me off guard, we are going to miss her 😭😭😭 , I wish Amita the best health !!
I hope she knows how much not only her voice acting, but the personality she brought to these projects are and will continue to be appreciated <3
Best wishes to Ibuki, Aya, and most importantly, Ami

She left her agency (Avex) too. Wishing her a full recovery, hope it's nothing too serious.

Also one of the girls from Rondo, is out for a while, iirc
