Question from a Reader:
Why is Azukun from Panda Dragon retiring? Was he popular within the group? Additionally, how is his singing and dancing ability evaluated?
Reflecting on Azukun’s Graduation
I was honestly surprised to hear the news that Azukun is graduating from Panda Dragon. He was particularly popular within the group and loved by fans. His reasons for retiring include
disclosing his struggles with panic disorder and adjustment disorder. Health issues can have a significant impact on one’s career in the entertainment industry. Especially with major events like a major debut and a performance at Budokan on the horizon, this decision must have been a difficult one for him.
Reasons for Popularity and Charisma
I always felt that Azukun ranked among the top two or three in terms of popularity within the group. His charm undoubtedly lies in his approachable personality. He excelled at closing the distance with fans and his warm smile drew many people in. He is also highly regarded for his singing ability. In particular, his deep, resonant voice set him apart from other members, giving him a unique presence. These traits made him an appealing performer. As for his dancing, I don’t have in-depth knowledge, but given that Azukun came from a “dance cover” background, I believe his expressiveness was quite high. He likely had a strong ability to convey emotions through dance.
Impact of Graduation and Future Activities
According to the official announcement, Azukun’s graduation is described as “his own decision.” His message about considering “his future life” indicates that he is exploring new paths. As a fan, there’s a sense of sadness, but I want to support him in choosing a path that makes him happy. Reflecting personally, I remember going to see Azukun’s performance with my college friends. I was moved by his singing, and on our way home, we excitedly talked about how we would “definitely go again next time!” The excitement from that experience and the fun conversations with friends still resonate with me.
