---Iida Kaori Comment---
This is a personal matter, but I have some news I would like to share.
On July 27, my son passed away from chronic renal failure.
I loved him more than anyone, and he meant so much to me that all I could do was cry.
At first, I couldn't even think about what lay ahead, but after laying him to rest, I've been slowly able to go out, and had a chance to talk with the staff. I think that what I do from now will be for my son's memory. So I decided that moving forward and staying positive is the best memorial I can give to my son.
Moving forward and staying positive, what does that mean... When I thought about that, I decided that returning to work after my time off, and being in front of my fans for the first time. So I discussed it with the staff.
To help me deal with this, it hasn't just been my family, but my friends and all the staff supporting me. I won't forget my gratitude as I do my best in my own way and work hard for the sake of my son.
I'm sure this has caused trouble and concern for everybody, but please continue to support me.

Information about Iida Kaori
Iida Kaori (27), who went on maternity leave at the end of the Morning Musume 10th Anniversary concert on September 1, 2007, lost her young son (born January 22) on July 27 as a result of chronic renal failure. He was hospitalised immediately after being born due to kidney problems, and Iida spent her time going to and from the hospital to visit him. But in April, he was released from hospital, and she began spending her days looking after him at home, to the relief of all of us. So this news was a shock to us. At first we had no idea what to even say. But with support from her husband, her parents, and her friends, she's been gradually getting better.
After laying her son to rest at the end of September, we had a chance to meet with her for a discussion. At first she said things like "I can't even think of what lies ahead", but gradually she started to say things such as "Moving on and staying positive would be the best memorial for my son." But what would it mean to move on and stay positive... We discussed this with her many times, and decided it would mean returning to show business after her time off.
We met to decide when and where she should make her comeback, and she agreed that reappearing at the Hello Project Elder Club ~Thank you for your LOVE~ concert that begins on January 10 at Nakano Sun Plaza would be best. She said, "Taking my first new step in front of all the fans who have always supported me seems like the natural thing to do."
Finally, we would like to apologise for the late nature of this news. Please understand it was important for Iida's mental state and forgive us for the delay. And please watch warmly over Iida Kaori as she begins to move forward positively.
