From all the members and staff of ZIPANG OPERA
[Message from Shinonosuke]
I, Shinonosuke, will be graduating from ZIPANG OPERA as of April 30, 2025.
This journey that began four years ago may feel short, but for me, it has been an incredibly rich and stimulating time.
I was able to experience irreplaceable moments that I could never have achieved on my own.
Although I have come to the decision to graduate, I have nothing but deep respect and immense gratitude for the members and the many staff and related individuals who have supported me until now and will continue to do so.
Lastly, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been involved with me up until now, and to all the ANCHOR (fans).
Thank you very much.
And please continue to support ZIPANG OPERA in the future.
Shinonosuke
