J-pop girl group LOVE 9 LOVE (also known as LOVE CLUB) have announced that they’ll be wrapping up activities with their current line-up at the end of this month, with their final performance scheduled for 29 May 2025.
After that, the group will be taking a break until a new system is ready to roll.
In an official statement released on earlier this week, management thanked fans for their continued support and explained that the decision came after careful discussions with the members.
“We’ve respected the wishes of each member and after much consideration, we’ve decided to bring the current chapter to a close in order to move towards new goals,” the statement reads.
While they’re keeping tight-lipped about the individual futures of the members, they’ve asked fans to hold off on questions about who's staying or leaving.

| LOVE 9 LOVE to End Current Line-Up Activities (X/Love9love_info) |
LOVE 9 LOVE first stepped into the spotlight on 28 February 2023, with their debut stage performance following shortly after on 26 March at Toyosu PIT.
The group has gone through several changes since then – only two founding members, Yuzunoki Marino (Pastel Yellow) and Ouka Natsu (Pastel Blue), are still active.
The current five-member line-up includes newer additions Shimotsuki Hotate, Hinata Ayana, and Abiru Suzu, who joined over the past year.
The journey hasn’t been without its bumps – with former members Otoha Noa, Kumogi Sora, Hashimoto Ui, and Yutori Erina departing for various reasons, the group’s line-up has seen its fair share of change.
Now, it seems the entire system is getting a reboot.
Fans who’ve collected cheki or event tickets are being encouraged to use them before the end of this era.
And while this may feel like the end, the message is clear: LOVE 9 LOVE isn’t disappearing, just hitting pause.
They’ll be back once things are restructured, with a fresh vision and potentially new faces.
Until then, it’s one last chance to see this pastel-coloured dream team take the stage together.
Expect emotions to be high on 29 May – it’s going to be a farewell to remember.
