Nozomi officially graduated in July 2019 and after leaving she announced publicly that her graduation was due to a severe mental health diagnosis.

 * Late on August 9, 2020, Honda Asuka blinded sided Kamikaze Sensation staff and fellow member Kitasaki Nagisa by quitting the group. No graduating live was held and all remaining Tokyo shows that august were cancelled. Nagisa posted on twitter that she was completely surprised, she felt sad, alone and wasn't sure if Kamikaze Sensation should continue, but promised to continue on even if by herself. As part of the Kamikaze Sensation official twitter announcement they are still auditioning for members.


 * Asuka has cut nearly all ties since the announcement, and her only message sent out after the official statement was an answer to a question on her CHEERZ account: "I can only apologize. I'm scared to stand on stage. I'm sorry. I love everyone. Thank you for what you have done."


 * The show on August 16 show that was cancelled was rescheduled after former member Komatsu Akari agreed to return and perform for the show.
