Angerme member Suzu Hashisako announces graduation

The idol group Angerme, part of Hello! Project, launched its national tour ‘Angerme 2026 Autumn: Fuurin Kazan Ni’ on September 12 at the Wako Civic Cultural Center in Saitama. During the daytime performance, member Suzu Hashisako announced her upcoming graduation from both the group and Hello! Project.

Hashisako, who joined the group in July 2019 as its youngest member at age 13, stated that she will graduate following the spring tour in 2027. She expressed her commitment to continuing her activities with Angerme until her departure, saying, “There is still time, so I will continue to do my best in Angerme’s activities.”

Group leader Rin Ise expressed sadness regarding the announcement but encouraged Hashisako to enjoy her remaining time. The current nine-member lineup includes Ise, Sachine Taminaga, Hashisako, Rin Kawana, Wakana Matsumoto, Yuki Hirayama, Yuki Shimoitani, Hana Goto, and Momoha Nagano. The tour serves as a revival of the group’s 2017 ‘Fuurin Kazan’ concept, reimagined for the current members.
