Kagayaki Panic and Hurehure Flavor are J-Pop girl groups produced by idol Shimizu Marin (a founding member of Kagayaki Panic). On May 22, three Kagayaki Panic members were dismissed from the group. According to a statement posted by the group’s management, Kurusu Momona was fired for having private interactions with a fan. Ichinose Hirono  and Nemkuranu were also removed from the group for multiple unspecified violations.

Though the statement doesn’t reveal what those violations were, in a now-deleted tweet, Hirono revealed why she had been removed; she’d had private interactions with other members of Kagayaki Panic as well as former staff members she parted with on poor terms.

Shortly after announcing the members’ departures, Kagayaki Panic’s management announced that Hurehure Flavor’s Hanazumi Kururu and Amamiya Ruuna  will be joining the group as “support members” starting on May 23.
