The official website for the singing duo ClariS announced on Sunday that one half of the duo, Karen, will graduate from the unit at the end of their upcoming “ClariS Autumn Tour 2024 ~Via Fortuna~” concerts. The tour will end at Osaka’s Zepp Namba venue on November 10 — days after the 10th anniversary of Karen’s formal debut in the unit.
