Big news from SAY-LA: Sayama Shiho is officially graduating from the group on 30 September 2025, marking the end of her 13-year idol career.
Not only is she leaving SAY-LA, but she’s also stepping away from the entertainment industry entirely.
The announcement came alongside details of her farewell concert at Zepp DiverCity, titled "SAY-LA Sayama Shiho Graduation Concert 13 Years of Gratitude and Love".
In her statement, Shiho expressed deep appreciation for her fans, fellow members, and staff who have supported her throughout her journey.
Born in Saitama on 25 July 1994, Shiho first debuted as an original member of Mecha High in 2012, staying with them until their disbandment in 2017.
She later joined BABY TO KISS in 2018 before making her way to SAY-LA that same year.
Over time, she earned a reputation as a talented leader, officially taking the helm of the group in January 2024.
Shiho is also a member of SAY-LA’s sub-unit Shiomon, and in the past, she performed with MiSTELLY♡.
Her signature colour in SAY-LA is orange, and fans know her by the nickname Shiomaru.
What’s Next for Shiho?
Unlike some idols who move on to solo careers or acting, Shiho has chosen to fully retire from the industry.
With hobbies like PUBG, zombies, and playing with kids, she might be looking forward to a more relaxed lifestyle after years in the spotlight.
Her farewell concert in September 2025 will be a major event for SAY-LA fans, giving them one last chance to see her shine on stage.
Until then, she’s determined to give her all, making every moment count.
For those who’ve followed her journey, it’s the end of an era—but also a celebration of everything she’s achieved.
