After her contract with 5pb. Records was expired as of April 1, 32-year-old Canadian anison singer HIMEKA has been looking for a new label in Japan. Unfortunately, she reported yesterday on her official Twitter that she will have to return to her home country Canada on June 9. She previously reported on April 10 that she would have no choice but to go home at the beginning of May if she couldn’t find a new agency. She says,
“I really don’t want to report this with much pain, but I will have to return to Canada in two weeks on June 9. I appreciate for my 6-year life and 5-year activity as a professional singer in Japan from the bottom of my heart. I was able to make a lot of friends, and my fans have always supported me. Thank you very much. I’ll continue doing my best at music with another way.”
Quebec-born Catherine St. Onge won the Second Annual Animax Anison Grand Prix in 2008 and made
her debut as a professional anison singer HIMEKA in Japan with 1st single “Asu eno Kizuna” (Valkyria

Tegami Bachi TV anime (2009-2010), and the 3rd singe “Mirai he …” was as the ED for Night Raid 1931 (2010).
