Thank you for your continued support of ANGERME
Our member Haruka Ohta has been on hiatus since March of this year, but her time with ANGERME has come to an end.
In the future, we aim to help her from the ground up so that she can work in Hello! Project again.

Since we as an agency did not provide enough support for Oota,
on how to be an idol and how to prepare her for it,
we will work hard to make sure that this will not happen again in the future.

Since the suspension, Oota has had to re-examine herself again and take a fresh look at herself
Through this process, she was able to confirm that she wants to continue her activities in the future.
As she continues her daily lessons, we will give her a fresh start Hello! Project.
We are looking forward to working with her.

We will report more details about her future activities as soon as they are decided.

Please support Oota Haruka and ANGERME as they make a fresh start.

To all the fans of Oota Haruka

Thank you for your continued support.

I, Oota Haruka, have spent many days reflecting on myself during my hiatus.
I have been reflecting on my actions and lack of self-awareness as a professional and the proper attitude to have as a member of society.
I spent my days rethinking what I hadn't been able to do.

In the midst of it all, I left my activities in Angerme and I have decided to go back to my roots and to work hard.

Everyone who has supported me since I was a trainee
Everyone who supports Angerme,
To everyone who supports Hello! Project
I am truly sorry for betraying you.

I sincerely apologize to everyone who has been waiting for me to return during my hiatus.

I will work harder than ever before and will definitely return to you.

This is a selfish request, but I look forward to your continued support.

Oota Haruka

Good evening.


It was just announced that Oota Haruka, who was currently on hiatus, has ended her activities.

Haa-chan during this hiatus period really, really answered this carefully.

Let me tell you first.
I'm going to be honest about what I was thinking today.

Since Haa-chan went on hiatus,
Haa-chan and I kept in touch with each other from time to time.

Haa-chan told me about what she wanted to do and how she wanted to do it, and she told me about the current members and how she felt about Angerme.

Haa-chan told me what she can do to help us during her break.
I think I've done the best I could.

I'm relieved to see that she is making good progress, and
To be honest, I had no idea that this has ended, and I was sad, but I realized that it's not a bad thing for her future.

I strongly believe that fans will kindly watch over her now, not to probe too deeply or blame anyone.

Haa-chan and I were members of this current group.
We were together more than anyone else, and I have many memories.

We even went out a lot.
I have so many memories of the two of us.

When I joined Angerme, it was just the two of us, so we always stayed together, and if something happened, we would solve it together. That was the norm for me, so when Haa-chan took a break and I was left alone, I felt so sad.

I realized that I had been helped a lot by her.

That's why,
Since I've been without her for a period of time,
I think I've carried her share of the work on my back.

And it's going to continue to be the same, and I'm going to carry her share of the load on my back.
We will protect the group well.

We're going to do our best for each other.
And let's take it a little bit at a time.
I hope you'll be a Haa-chan who laughs a lot like before.

Oota Haruka has decided to end her activities as an Angerme member and is starting from scratch so she is able to work with Hello! Project again in the future.

During this period of inactivity, she had to reevaluate herself, and after much consideration, she has come to this decision.

From now on, she will work harder than ever before to return to you. I believe in her words and I will continue to watch over her so that she can make a new start.

We are very sorry for the trouble and worries we have caused you in the past.

We will continue to do our best and ask for your support in the future.
