Where's Peco, Eguchi Nobuo, Chisa and Go-mi?
 

Hello!
I think most of us noticed that some Ayu's dancers and some band members didn't appear in her last concerts, like:
- Peco (backing vocals)
- Eguchi Nobuo (drummer - this guy played for Ayu during ten years)
- Chisa (female dancer)
- Go-mi (male dancer)

So here goes my question. Does anyone know where are they and why did they leave? :rolleyes

Go-Mi retired (i think its the same guy)
He decided to leave and open up his own shop (although what what might be is anyone's guess.)

About Peco... this was asked in another thread... she apparently quit to form some girl group or something...

Chisa got married and graduated from the troupe after AT10, I think?

She had a baby last year!

Nobuo Eguchi probably had some other projects to do so Daichi Hamasaki was brought in. One of Ayu's former keyboardists also left (Shunya Shimizu) without any word as to where he went.

I'm going to ask a really stupid question, is Daichi Hamasaki her cousin?

I was about to ask the same thing! :D

^ yes

Daichi Hamasaki is not related to Ayu at all.

Micchi [one of her new male backup singers] however, is her cousin.

I thought he is her brother T_T

i knew someone in her crew was her cousin... lol

I know this is off-topic, but do you remember Kaoru Abe, Ayu's drummer in Arena Tour 2009?
In my opinion this guy is the best among all the drummers!!! His performances in UNITE!, Evolution and Humming 7/4 are amazing. He punches the drums with no mercy, haha!


I thought he would come back with Nobuo's leaving.

I liked go-mi. he was funny.

Kaoru Abe was also Ayu's drummer in DT01. You can find his blog in "A STAFF BLOGS" in my signature, I think.

Go-mi was my favourite of all the A-troupe. I'm so devastated that he left. T_T

from my knowledge, Chisa injured her knee and she left to recuperate.

Go-mi left cos after the disaster, he found a new meaning in life and decided to pursue what he really wants.

I am pretty sure Kayano also left, but she came back. Can someone confirm this haha.

She has other family besides her mama?

What does he want now? Did he really quit dancing?

oh Micchi is her cousin? He's really nice. I like his voice!

I have no idea. but he definitely did not quit dancing. :) he only left ayu's troupe. :)

I think I read Go-mi is now a dancing teacher in Japan :D

Ayu is the only child in the family, no? a cousin? how?
