Notice of Mogami Moga’s Withdrawl from the Group
Thank you for your support
of Dempagumi.inc.
We must inform you all of something important.
It has been decided that Mogami Moga
will withdraw from her position as a member
of Dempagumi.inc. We are terribly sorry to
inform you of this so suddenly.
This is the conclusion we have arrived at
as the result of several consultations with
the members, staff, and many affiliated parties.
Following her withdrawal, Mogami Moga will
continue her solo activities.
Furthermore, Dempagumi.inc will continue
activities as a 5-member group with
Aizawa Risa, Furukawa Mirin, Yumemi Nemu
Naruse Eimi, and
Fujisaki Ayane.
As you did until now, please continue
to offer your unchanging support to
Mogami Moga and Dempagumi.inc.

The Dempagumi.inc members’ comment
regarding this matter is as follows
At this time, we’ve announced the withdrawal
of our member Mogami
Moga-chan.
We’re incredibly sorry for being unable to meet
the expectations of the fans who cheered for
these 6 members of Dempagumi.inc, and everyone
who waited for us to
perform together as 6.
We have decided to respect Moga-chan and
her decision on this matter.
To put it simply, we’re filled with loneliness at
the thought of being unable to continue our activities as 6,
but with our remaining members, we’ll further our efforts to
make our fans happy, and take on Moga-chan’s part
as well as we run forward at full power.
From the members of Dempagumi.inc

I’ve left Dempagumi.inc
As of today, August 6th, I’ve left Dempagumi.inc.
I’m sorry for announcing this so suddenly.
My feelings of wanting to stand on stage as 6 members again, and my love for
the members have not changed one bit, but I’ve been unable to find the balance between
my mind and body, making it difficult to continue activities as a member of
Dempagumi.inc in this state.
I’m sure I’ve made you sad, having had to take off from scheduled events many times up until now due to
feeling unwell. I’m very sorry.
As I’m unable to say there would be 0 possibility of the same thing happening
in the future, I’ve decided to withdraw as I feel that I’m unable to control this
by myself, and don’t wish to cause even more trouble for anyone. Honestly, I’ve worried over this for years, but I can’t help but feel very frustrated.
For the last 5 years, I’ve gained so much as a member of Dempagumi.inc. As
someone who just loved online games and stayed at home all the time, as someone
who had no self-confidence, I became able to look people in the eyes and talk,
live by myself, sing and dance in front of others, cry and laugh, and make
someone else happy—I really felt that I was happy to be alive.
At
first, though I was terrible at singing and dancing, and bad at talking, I was still able to
receive support from many people, and I brushed away feelings of
uncertainty and wanted to do my best when I received comments and letters. That’s
why I’m full of gratitude to everyone who was cheering me on.
And this doesn’t mean that Dempagumi.inc will break up. Please find it in
yourselves to continue supporting them.
I intend to continue solo activities as Mogami Moga while looking after my
health.
My path will differ from the members’, but with our hearts together, I’d like to
go forward doing my best as well.
Mogami Moga
