Kawamura Ryuichi has revealed that he received surgery on January 11 to remove cancer in his lungs.�

On his blog, he wrote, "I received surgery on January 11 to remove cancer in my lungs which they found a little while ago. After surgery, I have been recovering well. This surgery was a partial excision... so there won't be a change in my lung capacity!! It's something that bothers me most as a vocalist... It was a small cancer, so I won't have to receive radiation treatment or take anticancer drugs."�

Kawamura plans to make a comeback after a few weeks of rest. More details will be announced via his official website at a later date.
