Five-member band Noanowa announced on June 5th through their official website that their drummer Honma Shunta will be retiring from the band after their live performance in July.

"The things I treasure about music are heading in the opposite direction from the kind of music that Noanowa is aiming for, and now I can't genuinely come face to face with Noanowa's music," he said in regards to his reasons for leaving the band. His last performance with Noanowa will be their July 11th performance at Kanagawa's OTODAMA SEA STUDIO.

The band still plans to continue on without Honma as their drummer and will be holding their independently-organized event "Noanowa JOINT SHOW" at Shibuya's O-nest featuring three different guests. The guests have yet to be announced so far.
