Singer-songwriter milet revealed the circumstances behind her hiatus on Nippon TV’s “Yoru no Oto -TOKYO MIDNIGHT MUSIC-.” After five or six years of nonstop work since her debut, her body gradually stopped moving freely starting about a year before her break, and doctors diagnosed her with depression. Unable to speak clearly or get out of bed, and forced to miss a festival she was scheduled to perform at, her team decided to pause her activities in April 2025; she returned that August after four months of recuperation. On the forum, reactions ranged from opinions on her songs and live shows to plenty of jokes mixing her up with her “sister-like” contemporary Aimer, with opinions split on her singing ability.

Singer-songwriter milet appeared on the Nippon TV music program “Yoru no Oto -TOKYO MIDNIGHT MUSIC-” (airing Tuesdays at 24:24) on the 15th, where she revealed the reason behind her hiatus.

The show ran a feature on milet, who abruptly announced her hiatus on April 1, 2025, and returned that August after four months of rest. Asked why she decided to take the break, she revealed a change in her physical condition: “I’d been running flat out for five or six years since my debut, never looking back, writing and singing songs nonstop, but about a year before the hiatus my body stopped moving the way I wanted it to.”

She then confided, “When I went to the hospital, they told me I had depression,” adding, “I never thought I’d become depressed myself, but apparently one of the symptoms is that your body stops moving — I couldn’t even speak properly, and I got to the point where I couldn’t get out of bed at all. I ended up missing a festival I really wanted to play, and once my mind and body both hit their limit, the team decided it was best for me to rest for a while, so I was given some time off.”

Talent Sayaka Isoyama (42), after appearing in Nippon TV’s “The! Sekai Gyouten News” allergy-testing segment, posted on X about her experience of developing symptoms just from someone eating next to her. This sparked a wave of replies on 5ch, with users sharing their own experiences of feeling ill from things like the steam off soba noodles, the smell of garlic, or even the smell of alcohol being drunk beside them. Meanwhile, opinion split between those who insisted that crab sticks (kani kama) don’t actually contain crab, and those who pointed out that “crab extract” is often used for flavoring.

On Hello! Project’s board on 5ch, it became a hot topic that general ticket sales for Angerme’s Osaka concert had ended while seats on the first floor remained unsold. Commenters pointed to concrete factors: the recent graduation announcement of a member who had been with the group until just recently failed to boost attendance, the seating capacity of the venue, Orix Theater, and the gap in drawing power compared to sister group Juice=Juice. Opinions split between the view that “female fans are fickle, and it’s male fans who stick around until the end” and the view that “management was unreasonable to book three shows when the group has no members from Osaka” — disagreeing over whether to blame fan behavior or the agency’s decisions.
