AJ’s message:
No matter where I am, I am a member of U-KISS, even from now on that is something that will not change. Until the day in the near future when I will (be able to) meet all of my fans again, I, as an artist, and as a person, will come back having grown, so please look forward to that.

Furthermore, concerning the refunds for the tickets for “U-KISS LIVE IN BUDOKAN” at the 5th of September please consult the KISSme JAPAN fanclub site.

We hope that you continue to support U-KISS.
