Alan Shirahama takes a break from EXILE
9 Jun - While Iwata Takanori is leaving EXILE, Alan Shirahama revealed that he is also leaving the group, although temporarily.
The performer shared recently that he is putting his activities with the group on pause, and will focus more on his roles with GENERATIONS and PKCZ, as well as individual activities.
"For this reason, I will not participate in EXILE's dome tour that will be held at the end of this year," he revealed.
He also talked about how he had worked hard in the past by being a member of different groups, and while he was proud to be a member of EXILE, he ultimately decided to suspend EXILE activities considering his age and his ideal future.
"I struggled a lot with this decision, but considering my age and vision I have for my future, this is the path I chose to take."
Expressing his gratitude to the members for their understanding and support, Alan added, "Until the day I resume activities with EXILE, I want to keep refining myself. I'd be happy if you could continue to watch over me warmly."
