Thank you very much for your continued support of Novelbright.

Regarding COVID-19 infection, Novelbright Vocalist TAKENAKA YUDAI, who was under health observation, underwent a PCR test on October 13th and was diagnosed as negative. However, at the request and instruction of the local health center, he underwent another PCR test on October 19th and the result was positive, which we are pleased to report.

Currently, vocalist TAKENAKA YUDAI 's condition is stable, but the health center has once again instructed him to extend his health observation period until October 29th. As initially announced, we will refrain from artist activities during October, but we are planning to hold the solo live concert at Nishinomaru Garden, Osaka Castle on Wednesday, November 4th, after taking into full consideration the health of the members and taking measures against infectious diseases in accordance with the guidelines issued by the government and local authorities.

We would also like to report that the four members who were previously found to be infected - guitarist OKI SOJIRO, guitarist YAMADA KAITO, bassist KEIGO, and drummer NEGI- are recovering well.

We sincerely apologize to all those involved and to the fans who always support us for the inconvenience and concern caused.

We will continue to thoroughly manage the health of our members and staff under the guidance of government agencies and medical institutions, including public health centers.
