A member of the popular pop group “CHAGEand ASKA” and singer ASKA announced that they will “leave” the group on their official website.

ASKA updated his blog on the 25th, 40 years after his debut as “CHAGEand ASKA”, and the group said, “The environment has completely changed. Announced to “leave”.

In the blog, ASKA said to the member “Chage”, “If we were able to talk with each other more seriously,” he said, “After more life, rather than just prolonging life, dismantling and building up new ones. “I think it ’s more constructive,” explained why he decided to leave.

“CHAGE and ASKA” debuted as a male duo of ASKA and Chage in 1979, and since then released a number of hit songs such as “SAY YES”, but the activity stopped in 2009.

After that, ASKA was arrested for violation of the stimulant control law in 2014, and the group's activities were not resumed.

In the future, Mr. ASKA will continue his solo music activities, and his office commented, “I would like to apologize for the disappointing news of those who have been waiting for the resurrection.”
