Subsequent performances will be temporarily postponed until full recovery. Showtimes, alternative arrangements, and refunds are being discussed with management and will be announced in due course.

In Japan, news about celebrities' health conditions are typically handled with respect and privacy. Fans show tremendous support through social media and sometimes at the venue itself, while the media practice responsible reporting by not delving into the personal details unless publicly shared by the celebrity. Line between public and private life is highly valued.

Similar to situations in the US or EU, celebrity health announcements are made usually by the celebrities themselves or their representatives, maintaining the privacy of the individual involved. In addition, it's also common for fans to rally around and show support, demonstrating the universal nature of fandom and respect for public figures.
