Kaga's interest in dance grew while working with Hello! Project and Morning Musume., and she wanted to study dance more deeply.

She has expressed her desire to graduate from Morning Musume. and pursue new goals in order to learn dance in earnest from scratch, with an eye on her own future.
In order to support her strong desire, we have come to this conclusion.

First, she will take time for study, and after that, we will discuss and decide how to apply dance to her work.
We will inform you of her future activities and post-graduation plans as soon as they are decided.

Thank you for your continued support of Kaga Kaede and Morning Musume. '22.

I am Kaga Kaede of Morning Musume. '22.
Thank you for your support.

With the final performance of the tour scheduled to be held this fall, I would like to announce that I will be graduating from Morning Musume. and Hello! Project.

In the course of my various activities as a member of Hello! Project as Morning Musume., I have been able to gain knowledge about dance from many different perspectives.

All of them were very interesting to me and became a great opportunity for me to think about my future as I became more and more passionate about dance.
I have been active for about 10 years, including my time as a Kenshuusei, and I believe I have done all I can do.
I have decided to graduate in order to move on to my next goal.

After graduation, I would like to study dance from scratch, and in the future, I would like to work in a job that is related to dance from various directions.

I want to give back to our fans as much as I can in the time I have left.

I will do my best to leave a little something for everyone who supports Morning Musume. and all of you who support me, Thank you for your continued support.
