Watanabe Risa, former Keyakizaka46 and Sakurazaka46 member, has officially parted ways with Seed & Flower.
Today marks her last day as a talent under the agency, and she's shutting down her website and fanclub as well.
Fans, aka Buddies, were left in shock when she reportedly announced her retirement from the entertainment industry in her final fanclub message.
However, there's no official confirmation on her future plans or whether she’ll join another agency.
Berisa, who spent nine years in the 46G world, first joined Keyakizaka46 in 2015.
She transitioned to Sakurazaka46 after the rebranding and was part of the elite “Sakura Eight” lineup for major singles.
After graduating in 2022, she chose to stay with the agency, but now, she’s walking away for good.
What’s next for Watanabe Risa?
Nobody knows yet, but one thing’s for sure—her impact on the 46G scene won’t be forgotten.
