Kashiwagi Hinata (ex. Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku) will be making her solo debut in June under Sony Music's label SME Records. 

This was announced on Kashiwagi's 24th birthday, March 29. Kashiwagi, who graduated from Ebichu last year after 12 years in the group, is known for her great singing skills as well as dance skills. During her time in Ebichu, she successfully completed nationwide solo tours twice. 

On making her solo debut from SME Records, which is the same label that Ebichu is under, Kashiwagi commented, "I'm nervous that it's starting soon, but I want to continue singing so that everyone will cheer me on. If there is something I'm not sure about, I would like to ask for guidance from my label senpai Ebichu-san."

Kashiwagi will hold a live streaming event on March 29 from 8:00 pm JST for members of her fan club 'own pace.' More details on her solo debut are coming soon, so stay tuned!
