The 7-member girl group HANA celebrates its 1st major debut anniversary today, April 2nd (Thursday).
For one year since their debut, HANA has been running non-stop.
With a flurry of song releases, they rapidly expanded their presence,
winning the Japan Record Award for Best New Artist and making their first appearance on NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen,
truly making it a "rookie year on the run."
Their journey was by no means smooth, but the sight of the seven members always looking forward, no matter the situation,
has continued to move many people's hearts.
And today, HANA concludes its rookie year and enters its second phase.
The latest visual released to commemorate the 1st anniversary embodies the wish for "each member to bloom as their own flower and become a light for someone."
It symbolizes the current seven members who have overcome the anxieties they held at the time of their debut,
now possessing clear will and determination.
Furthermore, through their ongoing tour, HANA continues to scale up both in performance and expression.
Their evolution knows no bounds.
Also, from 7 PM today, a special live stream event commemorating their 1st major debut anniversary,
"HANA 1st Anniversary Special Talk Live," will be held.
Let's spend a special time looking back at the past year's journey with the members.
After a year of relentless running, HANA is poised to bloom even bigger.
Their "next step" is something not to be missed.

Thank you so much for our 1st anniversary.
This past year, I've spent every day supported by so many of you.

Whenever I think of all of you who always support us,
I want to be an artist who can always stay close to you. I'm truly grateful.

It's been one year since HANA debuted... Wow...
I've spent a year as a singer and dancer in a very blessed environment, receiving many opportunities and always having people support me no matter the situation. I was truly happy. I'm surprised that I could receive so much love and experience in one year in this life. I'm truly grateful to everyone from the bottom of my heart.
Entering our second year! So I want to reset my gears and move forward with a fresh feeling. I will return what I've received many times over, in various forms. Please continue to support HANA.

do my best to become a wonderful artist!!
