Wakatsuki Yumi (Wakasama) / 1st gen

Aaahhh.... another one of my favourites is leaving. It hurts. She's one of the funniest and cleverest members, and a great storyteller. Waka is always ready to jump in with a funny anecdote or joke. I'll miss seeing her on Kojichuu for those reasons alone. But she's also a great performer, and her presence will be missed on stage a lot. The place she'll probably be missed the most, of course, will be the dressing room. She seems like one of the 'social glue' type people who link people together.

And let's not forget, she's downright cool. Nogizaka's #1 ikemen is riding off into the sunset.

Good luck the rest of the way.

 

Wishing her the best after graduation, Nogizaka's coolest girl. Personally her graduation announcement hurt more than Nishino's because her last day is basically the end of next month and the fact that the number of remaining first generation members is decreasing drastically now.

 

yes ill be doing my usual for both nanase and yumi

 

Many thanks

 

She was the only one keeping me interested in Nogi, and it hit me hard seeing her announce grad. I don't know if I'll keep up with Nogi now she's going; no other member's caught my attention quite like her.

Best wishes for the future Waka-sama!

Blame Asuka for it (and Manatsu too, she started it!)

 

There I fixed it

 

Thank you

i love waka and sakurai moments, and this one..

Spoiler: Dont roast me for liking it, please..

 

The Kiss of Graduation... No wonder both announced around the same time

 

Wakatsuki with cat ears is so cute

Spoiler

The T-shirt she designed for Kyoto festival is so cool

Wakatsuki got the 50.1 percent voting result for her question "Between Ikuta and Matsumura, who is the bigger eater?" , she is going to win yakiniku prize, lol!
Next time, the oldest member will wear the cat ears .

 

I don't know whether you did too or not, but me and many more viewers shouted out loud to each other to throw both voting balls together in the same amount
Despite that we cheated the system, it's kind of a parting gift graduation present for Waka

Now I'm just hoping Mai-chun hardcore fans will not do it that way next

 

If I hear correctly, she mentioned that Mizuki is potential to be the next Nogizaka Kao (face). That's some pressure for her. But I definitely support her to take that crown.

 

Yup, she did. Well... basically she talked about the positive sides on every member in her gundan.
But on Midzuki especially, she kind of emphasize about her potential as the ace for the new generation.

Aw, maaan...

Waka is one of the best looking girls in Nogi! Her face shouts "Determination!"

Well, I wish her all the best for the future.

The original Nogi is slowly but surely dismantling... The big names are leaving, and Waka won't be the last.

It's up to the newer generation to take over the mantle of Nogi. And it is up to you and me, their fans, to continue supporting the group to make sure they survive the process.

Ganbatte, Waka!

Ganbatte, all fans!

 

Waka teaches Kanna Influencer dance.
