[Upd] Flutist Rie Akagi has announced that she will not be able to attend Yuki Kajiura Live Special Edition ~Christmas Dinner Show 2025~ (she was previously  among the musicians announced for the show), as she unfortunately had to withdraw from the performance due to a setback in the recovery from a fracture sustained in July, necessitating further surgery. We wish her a successful surgery and fast recovery!
