Kigurumi, the child duo that spawned last year's hit song "Tarako Tarako Tarako," will be undergoing a lineup change at the end of the month. Haruka, who is the younger of the two at age 10, has decided to leave the group so that she can focus on school. She still plans to pursue a career in show business, however.

Despite Haruka's absence, Kigurumi is not breaking up. It is likely that a replacement will be named soon.
