Watanabe Mayu to miss AKB48 nationwide tour
16 Apr – AKB48 member Watanabe Mayu would be missing some of the concerts during the group's nationwide tour that will begin on 11 April, after she has been told to refrain from performing due to her health condition.
According to Tokyo Hive, Watanabe was diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis and inflammation around her pharynx after a medical examination. She had hoped that she would be able to go on singing but her doctors have instructed her to do otherwise.
Therefore, the 18-year-old Team B member would not be performing at the team's concerts on 11 April at the Hiroshima Bunka Kouryu Kaikan and 12 April at the Kobe Kokusai Kaikan Kokusai Hall.
