On April 5th, popular duo Kobukuro announced through their official website that they have officially resumed their activities!

Sakata Minosuke, who is CEO of Office Kobukuro wrote, "We resumed our activities as Kokukuro in April. We are still to decide on any concrete details regarding our appearances in front of everyone."

Last August, Kokukuro announced that they would be going on hiatus due to member Kobuchi Kentaro's poor health. He was diagnosed with dystonia, and were told by doctors that he required at least a 6-month recovery period. This news was announced during the final night of the duo's nationwide tour in Hokkaido.

During their period of hiatus, Kuroda Shunsuke received treatment for his lower back pain, which worsened while they were on tour.

According to sources, Kobuchi's condition is near complete recovery. Currently, the duo are going to voice training, and they have started to hold meetings to prepare for their official comeback.
