 It&#8217;s been 22 years since his debut at the age of 22 on February 2, 2000. Thank you.
The singer Kiyoshi Hikawa updated his Instagram to thank his fans on the anniversary of the &#8220;2&#8221; line. Speaking of Hikawa, he has announced that he will be taking an indefinite hiatus from singing at the end of 2010.

Hikawa made her debut on February 2, 2000 with &#8220;Hakonehatsuri no Hanjiro. He was called &#8220;Prince&#8221; because of his refreshing visuals, which had never been seen before in the enka world.
However, in the last few years, she decided to live her life as she is and stopped singing enka at the Kohaku Uta Gassen. In 2007, when she sang &#8220;Marginal Breakthrough Survivor,&#8221; the theme song of the anime &#8220;Dragon Ball Super&#8221; (Fuji TV), her image of Hikawa was completely changed.
At that time, she said at the press conference
 &#8220;Be yourself, Ki-chan. Goodbye to Kiyoshi-kun.
At the press conference, she announced that she was saying goodbye to &#8220;Kiyoshi. Since then, Hikawa has been calling herself &#8220;kii&#8221; or &#8220;kina&#8221;, a combination of &#8220;kii&#8221; and &#8220;natural&#8221;. Since then, Hikawa has been calling herself &#8220;kii&#8221; or &#8220;kina&#8221;, a combination of &#8220;kii&#8221; and &#8220;natural&#8221;.
Then, last year, there was a sign that they were going to stop their activities.
 Every year, they hold a press conference during the rehearsal for Kohaku, but only last year, the press conference was cancelled for Ms. Hikawa. The office might have thought that he might say something if a reporter asked him about it, since he had said &#8220;goodbye to Kiyoshi&#8221; the year before. Maybe he was afraid that the reporter would ask him something. Maybe there was a gap between Ms. Hikawa, who wanted to live her own life, and the office&#8217;s vision. In any case, in the interview, she was asked about her aspirations for the next year, so it must have been difficult for her to talk about them when she had decided to take a break.
Hikawa says that she wants to spend more time with her parents in Fukuoka after her hiatus. The death of her beloved dog, Cocoa, last February also seems to have left a big hole in her heart.

On February 1, she wrote on Instagram
 I made a stuffed animal of Cocoa, but I still want to see Cocoa. I&#8217;m still their mother (heart mark).
She posted a photo of her two other dogs and a stuffed Cocoa.
 I want to live in a foreign country where no one knows who I am,&#8221; Hikawa once said. It seems that he has been studying English and other languages steadily, so if the Covid-19 disaster settles down next year, he may have the option to recuperate overseas.
On the first day of her national tour on January 27, she said in front of her fans
 On the first day of her nationwide tour on January 27, she promised to make a comeback, saying, &#8220;You may think, &#8216;That&#8217;s enough,&#8217; but if you&#8217;re happy, I&#8217;ll go anywhere.
He promised to make a comeback.
When he comes back after his recharging period, he will come back as a &#8220;new Kiyoshi Hikawa&#8221; who has pushed the limits even further.

 Kiyoshi Hikawa has announced that he will be taking a break from performing at the end of this year. At the end of last year's Kouhaku Uta Gassen, there were some changes, such as no post-rehearsal interviews, which had become a tradition. In the midst of all this, there was talk of moving overseas...

Kiyoshi Hikawa reports on the anniversary with a flowing eye shot: “I’m going to push the limits after I come back.
