Okinawan duo Kiroro announced that they are planning to fully resume activity next month, in time for the 10th anniversary of their major label debut.

The two women both got married in 2005, and Kiroro was put on hold as they each prepared for motherhood.

Kinjo Ayano gave birth in November of that year, and Tamashiro Chiharu followed with her own baby three months later.

Tamashiro Chiharu had a second child this past September.

The duo performed together once in June for a local event in Okinawa, but their last full concert was in September 2005.

They announced their return on Wednesday, when Kinjo Ayano held her first solo show in Tokyo.

Tamashiro Chiharu appeared on stage for the encore, and they performed their debut single “Nagai Aida” together.

They revealed that they will continue their careers as Kiroro, starting with a concert at their former high school on January 21, the 10th anniversary of “Nagai Aida.”

Tamashiro said she had felt a return was impossible, and had considered disbanding the group. But after consulting with Kinjo Ayano, she made up her mind.

Tamashiro Chiharu’s children will remain with her husband in Okinawa when she returns to Tokyo to continue work.
