Hello, this is Takeuchi Miyu.

First, I would like to say that I am always thankful to my fans who have shown me all of their support and given me their love.

After a long discussion with my agency, we have decided to end our exclusive contract with each other. I am sorry that I have to share this sudden piece of news to all of my fans who have been giving their support to me as I conduct my Korean activities.

I will continue to work hard so I can greet you all again with a more mature image. Please continue to give me your love and support.

Thank you.
