Shoutaro of RIIZE will not participate in the Macau performance. The production company for the Macau performance announced today (6th) through their official SNS that Shoutaro, a Japanese member of RIIZE, will not be attending the Macau performance of their first world tour 'RIIZING LOUD.' The production company clarified, 'All members had thoroughly prepared in advance so that everyone could participate, but due to unavoidable unforeseen circumstances, member Shoutaro is unable to attend the performance.' They continued, 'We ask for the generous understanding of all the fans who have been waiting for and supporting RIIZE for a long time,' and expressed sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by the change in the lineup for this performance.
