On May 21, SPYAIR vocalist IKE suddenly announced that he is leaving the group via Twitter. The group announced on their official website that IKE was suffering from vocal chord polyps and acute chorditis. They proceeded to explain his tweet, saying that "it was due to the gravity of his responsibilities as a vocalist, and that his condition was deteriorating". The band will announce further developments upon IKE's recovery.

SPYAIR recently had to announce the postponement of their tour legs in Nagoya on May 6 and 7, Sapporo on the 10th, and Sendai on the 12th due to IKE's acute bronchitis. They pushed through with the Fukuoka leg of their tour, but IKE's throat condition deteriorated and upon medical tests, was diagnosed with vocal chord polyp and acute chorditis, stating that he needed time off to recover. This prompted them to cancel the remaining 2 dates on the 23rd and 25th in Tokyo, as well as the 4 dates that were postponed for their SPYAIR TOUR 2014 "Imagination".

IKE tweeted "Ohayou" early in the morning on the 21st. Twenty minutes later, he continued: "I am tweeting from the bed in my hotel room in Hiroshima using my iPhone in my right hand. I did not talk this over with anyone, this is my own decision. Please hear me out, and please spread the word.". Immediately after, he tweeted "I'm quitting SPYAIR!".

SPYAIR's drummer KENTA commented: "I'm a fool as I was not able to protect the members, the fans, and the staff. We won't let it end here. Sorry for worrying you guys! Let me just tell you that all members haven't given up just yet!". Guitarist UZ continued: "We won't give up no matter what".

Show Ayanocozey (DJ OZMA) of Kishidan also commented about this on Twitter. "Ike-kun, no. We're band members. We shouldn't be deciding things on our own. Whether we progress or we halt, we have to accept it all. But I would like you to discuss matters first with the other members.".

Model Ryo, who took a break from acting after giving birth to her second child in April, has officially made her comeback in February this year. She talked about her secret to retaining her slender figure after giving birth.

Ryo decided to lie low from acting because she said that she wanted to take her time in raising her child. She officially came back in the stage play Motto naite Flapper last February and said: "I'm a dancer here, and it was so hard to adjust since I had to sing and dance! I started going to dance lessons twice a week since September last year. I had a lot of fun, though, but it was so hard! (laughs)".

She mentioned that she had a hard time trying to recover her figure after childbirth but said: "I think the dance lessons and voice training sessions helped a lot. My torso has been developed well, and I feel like my body balance has improved. As for my diet, I eat balanced meals with a lot of vegetables which revolves around brown rice", which has definitely helped her shape up again. She also said that she has been doing Gyrotonic exercises starting this March. 

She also revealed the secret to her glowing skin: "Early to bed, early to rise. When you're living with your children, you get sleepy after eating dinner. So I sleep after that and wake up early in the morning.". When asked about her child care methods: "Children follow their parents closely, so we always have to set examples for them every day".

(Partial translation)
It was revealed on March 1st that singer Jin Akanishi (29) has left Johnny's Entertainment after fulfilling his contract up to February 28 and will not be signing an extension upon mutual consent. Johnny's said that they cannot comment on the reason as to why his contract was not renewed. One of the possible reasons is the conflicting interests between both parties. Akanishi will still pursue a career in showbiz even after leaving the agency. A different source tells Sponichi that there were no new scandals or any sort of trouble that has led to this decision.
