CiON is a five-member Japanese pop girl group that is currently under the management of Toil & Moyle. They have their music released under notably one of Japan’s biggest music labels, Avex.

The members of CiON are Shion, Aika, Yoshiko, Seina, and Ami.

8days reports that CiON have previously performed for eight years under the name ‘C;ON’, and changed the group name due to it being difficult to search for on X.

CiON is rather well known for their uniqueness, as the girl group consists of both instrumentalists and vocalists.

Since changing their name from ‘C;ON’ to ‘CiON’, the girl group has been preparing for their re-debut, which was scheduled for December 25 this year, reports Sponichi Annex.

However, CiON’s second debut has been cancelled, along with all scheduled activities since their detention by the police on 23 October. According to Sports Hochi, a total of 10 people. Including the members of CiON, have been detained.

Sponichi Annex reports that the 10 people, which comprise the members of CiON and staff members of the girl group’s agency, Toil & Moyle, have been arrested in part for organising an unauthorised street performance back in May.

The same article from Sponichi Annex states that typically, offenders are rarely arrested for performing on the street. However, the scale of obstruction was deemed so big that it warranted an arrest of those involved.

The arrest had resulted in an entire shift of events for CiON, as their official website declared that all promotional events scheduled until December of this year were canceled, as well as their music release by their label, Avex.
