Hello, this is Akai Haato.
I apologize for not being able to communicate until now. The truth is, my health has not been good since February of this year, and immediately after the 4th fes. live ended, I was hospitalized. Thanks to the support of my family, I was finally able to be temporarily discharged recently, and while I am still under observation, I am currently recuperating at home.
To all my fans, Hololive members and V friends, as well as everyone at the company and those I worked with, I am truly sorry for causing you all so much worry. Since I stepped away from activities until now, I have been struggling both physically and mentally due to the side effects of medication. I did my best just to hold on. However, I was anxious that if I shared the word "hospitalization" with all of you while having no positive news to offer, it might cause unnecessary concerns beyond the current situation. Also, I didn't want to show you all my weakness.
After discussing with my family, I decided to focus on taking care of my body until I was discharged, which caused the delay in reporting this. Though I still need to rest and the situation hasn't changed, I feel a little more at ease now. With the support of my family and the communication with my manager, I am able to make this announcement today. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. What I want to convey to all of you is that this is not a life-threatening situation. It will take time to fully recover, but while considering my health as the top priority, I hope to return to all of you slowly and steadily. Please wait a little longer. I will definitely come back healthy.
