RIIZE’s Shotaro is one of the most beloved members of the boy band for his immense charisma on stage. The idols were scheduled to perform in Macau, China, on February 7 and 8 as part of their first world tour, “RIIZING LOUD.”
Just hours before the concert was carried out, the company behind RIIZE’s Macau concert posted an official statement regarding one of the members: Shotaro. The company only states that the idol will sit out of the event, but didn’t disclose the reason behind it.

The unexpected announcement brought a bittersweet moment among fans who were waiting to see Shotaro during these two concerts. Shotaro’s absence might be due to recently escalating China–Japan diplomatic tensions instead of health reasons. The company apologizes for all the inconveniences caused by the change in the lineup.
