Her new blog
It's been quite a while! I'm Ogata Risa!

I am pleased to announce that,

I have decided to resume my activities.

I apologize for causing so much inconvenience to many people in this case.

I would like to express my deepest apologies.

In the future, I would like to focus on singing as a solo artist.

My love for standing on stage,
My love for performing has never changed and will never change.

During my hiatus, I've been thinking a lot about the future.

I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else but on this road.

From there, I had a very strong feeling that I wanted to continue to sing and be on stage.

I am aware that there are various opinions on the resumption of activities.

It may take some time for you all to recognize me, but I'll do my best with my ability now.

It's still a work in progress, but...

I look forward to working with you!

From Nagoya City Public Hall in Aichi Prefecture on June 5th,

I'll be participating in the M-line club concert tour "M-line Special 2021 ~Make a Wish~".

In addition, the singing video will be released on the official YouTube channel "Upfront Channel" today.

I hope you enjoy it!

As for other information, I'll keep you posted!

I'll be writing about my hiatus and other topics in future blogs.


Please come and take a peek when you have time.


Thank you for your continued support!

a few more things were added in the official statement
During the 8 months that I was absent from my activities, I was unable to go out frequently under these circumstances. I spent most of my time at home.

The rhythm of my life and the way I spent my time were the same as before, as if my past activities had been my life itself.
I continued to do what I could individually, such as maintaining my physical strength.

In addition, I wanted to increase my hobbies, special skills, and what I could do as a adult member of society, so I tried to learn and absorb various things such as watching movies, reading books, and obtaining a driver's license.

From now on, I will make a fresh start as a solo artist.
There are many things that I don't know about myself, such as how my life will progress.

However, I will do my best to make the most of my activities as a way of showing my utmost sincerity to everyone who has supported me and stayed close to me.

If you have a chance to meet me, I would appreciate it if you could watch over me warmly.

Fukumura Mizuki's welcomes her back
I was informed that Ogata Risa has restarted her activities.
I'm really happy to hear Ogata Risa will sing again.

She was so kind to write to me to let me know.

Just as I was practicing my singing
I thought, "Oh, I want to sing with Risamaru."
I was thinking in my heart that such a future would be great.

And then you wrote me a letter from... What? A dream? I thought.

I love your singing voice and sensibility.
Thank you for choosing the path of singing in the future.

And thank you for your continued support.
I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

Fukumura Mizuki's guest appearance on the "M-line Special 2021 ~Make a Wish!~ tour has been rescheduled for June 20th at Nakano Sun Plaza.

Oh wow.

I'm not particularly shocked Ogata is starting solo activities but I am shocked by 1) how relatively soon she's started and 2) that she's still with Up Front.

I would have expected her to have left/been let go of UF and being signed to a smaller agency.

It'll be exciting to see what direction this goes in.

In case some people didn't know, it's a cover of Abe Natsumi's "Too far away ~Onna no Kokoro~" from 2007.

Edit: My mistake; Abe's release was also a cover, of Tanimura Shinji's song.

^ I actually didn't know Abe's was a cover, it's the only version I've ever heard & I've never read about her releases in detail. :lol: Apparently the version I linked is a cover of the original by Shinji Tanimura with the lyrics altered to be from a woman's POV, and the b-side to that release was a cover of the original with in-tact lyrics. So, my bad.

^ The song was first released as "Too Far Away" by Keiko Mizukoshi in May 1986, and was covered under the title "Far Away" in March 1988 by Shinji Tanimura. Tsunk took elements from the arrangement used by Tanimura, but the title and lyrics were adapted from the original Mizukoshi release.

The composer was Kaoru Ito, who also wrote the oft-covered "Love Is Over."


--EDIT--

Solarblade, from the future, wrote:Also Nacchi covered it too

True, but N-K mentioned that in her post, tho.
