In their handwritten statement, the couple said, “The paths we each have walked have crossed, and have now become a single road.” They added, “We will continue to move forward in our own way, never forgetting our gratitude each day”.
Fuju Kamio and Yurina Hirate acknowledged they are “still imperfect” or “inexperienced.” They asked the public to “continue to watch over us with warmth and kindness”.

Yurina Hirate is 24 years old and debuted in 2016 as a member of Keyakizaka46. She was the group’s center for all eight of their debut singles and was widely known as its leading figure. Even before leaving the group in 2020, she had begun acting. She won the Japan Academy Film Prize for Newcomer of the Year for her lead role in the 2018 film Hibiki.
After going solo, she appeared in dramas such as Roppongi Class in 2022. In 2023, she became the first artist signed to HYBE Japan’s Naeco label, although the contract ended the following year.
