poppochanPiko:
Sorry for the sudden announcement.
This is an important announcement from me.
I would be glad if you could give it a read.
Long time no see.
It’s Piko.
I have been silent for a long while and caused you all worry.
I’m sorry.
First of all, please let me explain the situation from the very beginning.
Around the end of March, I started feeling unwell, and from May I felt abnormally fatigued after working for a long time.
Initially, I thought it was tiredness from my album work, or from my tour, or spring fever, or the low air pressure, and dismissed it, but things didn’t get better when June started. Thinking that something was not right, I spoke to my parents and noticed that the symptoms were similar to having weak kidneys, and got a diagnosis.
The diagnosis I received was “end-stage renal failure”.
The exact cause is unknown, but it was a gradual deterioration over 10 years, and could not have been detected. Afterwards, I went to a specialist hospital for a second opinion, and have been hospitalised in emergency from the end of June.
While receiving dialysis three times weekly via an artificial kidney, I tried medication, but unfortunately it did not work. A few days ago, I received “inner shunt placement surgery”, an essential surgery for maintenance dialysis.
From now on, I will need to continue treatment as described above.
I understand that the tonsils have an adverse effect on the kidneys, and I plan to undergo surgery to remove them.
In addition, I’m really grateful that both my parents are suitable kidney donors, and if all goes well I will be able to undergo transplantation. If the transplantation goes well, my range of activities will be greatly expanded from my current state.
For causing them such distress, and going as far as requiring their body organs, as a pitiable son, I’m full of apology (towards them), but I want to recover quickly and repay them thousands of times over.
As my medical condition is unstable, for the time being I will be taking a break from lives and events, but from now on I think I will do some of the things that I am able to do. I plan to continue updating my social media, so if you could check in on me, I’d be happy.
Lastly, please let me talk about my feelings.
Getting to this state, and being this late with the announcement, I’m really sorry.
I will be unable to take part in the events that I was announced to be in, and I’m truly sorry to those who were looking forward to it.
When I first received the diagnosis, my mind went blank.
Afterwards, I was overwhelmed with thoughts. At the foremost was, what am I going to do from here on out. Why didn’t I notice earlier. I probably can’t sing anymore.
It was the first time in my life that I experienced despair.
No matter what, I didn’t want to give up.
“But I don’t want it to end like this.”
“There are lots of dreams I haven’t been able to fulfill.”
“I want to sing before everyone again.”
As the days passed, I started thinking like this.
In the midst of it all, the messages of concern and support that I received from my fans made me really happy. Thank you very much.
Also, the friends who contacted me, who came to visit, who cheered me up and told me, “We’re waiting, so definitely come back, alright”…
Thank you, really.
It’ll be lonely that I won’t be able to meet with everyone for a while, but I’m facing off with my illness now, and I’ll focus fully on recovering. And I’ll definitely come back.
Until then, please wait for me.
In order to stand on stage again, singing to everyone, teasing, laughing, become Bicchonko*, be called ugly, and welcome the best moments, I’ll do my best!!!
Thank you for reading until the end.

ASK:
First of all, put your body and heart as top priority and rest.
My father did a similar kidney transplant with family members as well, and he’s living healthily and well now. Piko-kun will definitely be fine too.
I’m looking forward to meeting you at events and lives again!
Again:
The most beautiful ugly, I hope to see you healthy as soon as possible…! I’m supporting you…!!
Alfakyun:
For better or for worse, I had an event planned with Piko-san, so I knew about this early on. Seeing your fans’ sadness was so frustrating, I really wanted to let them know; it was really super difficult. Thank you for making the announcement while suffering the most! Everyone will be waiting as long as it takes, so do your best! You can do it!!
that:
Everyone’s waiting for you
un:c:
It’s a difficult time, but I’m really, really glad you’re alive.
If there’s anything, please let me know without hesitation! Because I’ll come running!
Meychan:
Piko-san…
If you get lonely, please contact me anytime!!!
Because I’ll bring my Switch to go see you!!!!!!!
I hope Piko-san can recover as soon as possible.
Tsukasashi:
The one who introduced me to the world of utattemita was Piko-san
And that’s why, even though we were unrelated, when I started as an utaite, I was always one-sidedly grateful for you. Being able to stand on the same stage as you is something I will treasure for life, and if there’s a chance in future, I’d like to stand with you again
I’m praying that you will return to us healthily
Sekihan:
When things settle down, for the time being, let’s grab a meal.
Kradness:
My daisenpai, my important friend Piko-san.
Thank you for staying alive…! I hope you will get better as soon as possible. I hope you can quickly return to a healthy body that I can go mountain climbing, barbecuing and mountain stream fishing with.
