Graduation announcements thread

Wow! I didn't see that one coming!

What are you trying to say, that Team 8 should have a roster of graduates?

What I wanted to write isn't allowed by forum rules but trust me: it's omoshiroi.

About time!

A casual reader may actually believe this. J/k there are no casual stage48 readers

No she hasn't and I would appreciate it if anyone who happens to post a false rumour doesn't put my name on it.

EDIT: NGT48 2nd Gen member Komiyama Sara has just announced graduation:

Here's the official post from NGT's site about Komiyama Sara's graduation announcement today (translated with DeepL).

"I'm Okada, the representative of Flora.
Thank you very much for your support of NGT48.

Komiyama Sara just announced her graduation at the "After School Performance of Chitachaimon Club & Yamada's Neighborhood (Here) is Free" performance.
As of December 31, 2021 (Friday), Komiyama Sara's activities will come to an end.

We had a lot of discussions with her and asked her to tell us how she feels about her next dream.
To be honest, we wanted to watch her grow for a little longer, but after respecting her feelings, we have decided to announce her graduation today.
We, the management, would like to thank her for her activities up to now and at the same time, we would like to support her as she takes a new step forward.

As for her graduation performance, we would like to send her off warmly with her fans, and we will announce the date as soon as it is decided.

We would like to ask for your continued support and encouragement for Komiyama Sara until the last day of her career.

The following is a comment from the artist."

------------------------

"I have an announcement to make.

I, Komiyama Sara, will be graduating from NGT48.
The period will be until the end of this year.
I'm really sorry to have surprised you with this sudden news.

But I have given it a lot of thought, and this is the result. Here is the answer.
I've decided on my dream and I've decided to go for it.

However, I will still be a member of NGT48 until the end of December, so I will be responsible for my activities until the end.
I would like to ask for your support, both from the members and the fans.

Komiyama Sara"

 

Team 8 Tokushima prefecture representative, Harumoto Yuki anounced her graduation on Showroom
(refer to her thread)

 

STU48 Sakaki Miyu anounced today.
See in her thread

 

Well, Cuca's graduating and Nana's kennin is over. I've got zero reason to pay attention to STU48 anymore. I hope that Cuca thrives in whatever she decides to do hereafter. Her idol career was shorter than I would've liked and less full of major achievements than I hoped, but I was happy with the triumphs she did manage. She'll be heading into her 20s next year. I hope it'll be a great time for her.

 

SKE's Yamauchi Suzuran just announced her graduation. Her activities will end at the end of November.

That makes Minarun the last remaining 9th Gen Member

 

Considering her transfer to SKE48 didn't really do much for her I'm actually surprised she held out as long as she did. Wonder what she'll do hereafter.

 

She's from a rich family so I think being an idol was just something fun for her, she always seemed to be just having a good time on stage.

 

More golf.

 

This makes sense.

 

Minarun from SKE48 has just announced graduation on Tokai Radio:

She'll leave next April when she turns 30. So that will be the end of the AKB 9th Gen (and my 4th SG oshimen grad announcement this year following Miru, Madoka and Marina ).

 

Another one bites the dust. Her journey has been filled with many ups and downs. She was a real trooper. Among the 9th gen AKB girls she was one I admired greatly. I hope her 30s will be a great time for her.

 

She got a fan to sell his house to vote her up to 8th... not everybody has that!

A 9th gen reunion at some point would be lovely.

 

Would be surprise if we didn't get one on November 27th..

 

Yeah 9th Gen minus 1
