It's only been three weeks since Kosuga Fuyuka was named as a new sub-member of S/mileage. Unfortunately, it's been revealed that Kosuga had to withdraw from the group due to poor health.



The announcement posted on the official S/mileage website states:



"Thank you for always supporting S/mileage. Due to S/mileage sub-member Kosuga Fuyuka's poor health being brought to our attention, she underwent a careful examination at a hospital. According to the results of the exam, it was discovered that she has a problem with her blood composition. Due to her severe anemia, she must refrain from exercise and must undergo medical treatment for several months.



It is truly unfortunate, but her activities as a S/mileage sub-member will be cancelled for now, and she will focus on her treatment regimen. After she has completes treatment and her health returns to normal, we plan to have her start again as a member of Hello! Pro Egg [Hello! Project's trainees]."

Hello! Project's produceralso commented on the announcement:"What I was able to say to her was, 'Please don't over-do it, and devote yourself to your recuperation.' When I asked her, 'After your full recovery, you would be able to continue your lessons as a member of Hello! Pro Egg, but what would you like to do?", she replied, 'I want to quickly get better and start over again as an Egg.'She's still young, so I would like her to quickly regain her health and start again as an Egg with her wonderful smile.The newly reborn S/mileage will go forward with the three original members and� four sub-members. Everyone, please cheer for the girls!"Source: S/mileage Official Website
