Nogizaka46 member Okamoto Hina has announced that she will be suspending her activities for the time being.

Okamoto started feeling changes to her health some time ago. After the group's birthday live in February, she had been increasingly taking days off. Thinking that she was causing an inconvenience to the staff, members, and fans, she had tried her best to continue her activities. However, her condition would not recover, and after discussion with her manager, she decided to take a break. 

On her blog, Okamoto wrote, "I will rest properly and recover. It would make me happy if you would wait for me. Please wait for me."
