    Story:

    "Former AKB 48's Kobayashi Kana (27 years old) reported on his own Instagram on 16th September to leave the company's affiliation office.

    Kobayashi reported to the fans this day that "I, Kobayashi Kana will leave the company as soon as the contract with Promage Co., Ltd. ends."

    The retirement seems to be in a form that seems to be in a form of honesty, "I am sincerely thankful to the office, Promage that sent Kobayashi Kana's activity, and sent it out." For the future, what I want to challenge and what I want to do is There are lots of things to do and I will continue to devote more than ever and I will do my best. " It says that SNS will continue as it is."

    Story in ModelPress about her history of "shaping" (aka plastic surgery) and botox injections. She had mentioned it on the London Hearts show, where Miki made a comment: "the chin is extended!"

    "Kobayashi: I still think that Japan as a whole is not tolerant of plastic surgery, and I still have the opposite opinion, but I was one of them before I started. However, I also thought that it was not good to oppose oneself without doing it, and it was very effective if I was interested in Botox injection because she was originally nervous. So I thought, "Why have you been thinking backwards so far? It would be good if you could become pretty with this," and I tried a few different places (laughs)

    Kobayashi: After all, unlike when I was thinking, sometimes I don't get along well, and I think I'm going to try with this face for a while, but I think I'm not convinced, "How are you doing here? I consulted with the doctor and it was about 10 times in total."

    Here are just three of the pictures in the article.

    Another story about "shaping"(plastic surgery).

    "Former AKB48 Kobayashi Kana (28 years old) appeared in the variety program “Ogiya Haginos“ Bus ”TV” (AbemaTV) broadcast on September 9th. She talks about her “shaping problem” that she has done 10 times since 8 years ago.  

    At the beginning of the program on the 9th, Kobayashi asked the program MC's Ogiyahagi / Yahagi, “What is shaping?”, “Yes! I recently came out, but since I was 20 years old, "I'm a little custom. I'm 28 years old, so I've been 8 years ago. I've been doing it 10 times or more. The cost is about 1.2 million yen. Published in the studio."

    [Dasu was also on the program]

    The Dolly Parton Challenge, Japanese style, with a story in the press.

    "Former AKB48 talent Kana Kobayashi (28) updated her Twitter on the 17th. Under the title of “Petit shaping,” she published photos from each era.

    four photos were introduced with the introduction "Current → When I admired the gal → When I went to Ultraman → General election ranking"

    That's what "shaping" means. This is just a googlism. It comes from a word that refers to smoothing something (a face or traffic).

    jisho: プチ整形 minor cosmetic surgery; nip and tuck

    整形
    1. orthopedics; plastic surgery; cosmetic surgery
    2. smoothing (bursty traffic, etc.); shaping; fairing

    shape, form, style

    [see the posts from July and early September: "Another story about "shaping"(plastic surgery)."]

    Former AKB48's Kana Kobayashi (30) is currently dating a boyfriend on the TBS variety show "Daisuke Nakai, Tsubasa Honda, and Love Child at Night" broadcast on the 21st for a 2-hour special (from 8 o'clock). Introduced in VTR.

    During the AKB48 era, Kobayashi was known as the top member of the theater public production halls. Currently, she is active in various fields such as working on apparel brands, but Kobayashi is dating the owner of a 33-year-old stock investment company. It owns a 4 billion yen private jet and a 1.5 billion yen condominium in Hawaii. The show also showed a condominium with a great view, revealing that Kobayashi's boyfriend is a "super" celebrity investor.

    In Kobayashi's self-portrait video released, Kobayashi with a refreshing smile introduced "Yes! This is my boyfriend Ben-chan!" And he was facing the computer and smiled with his face raised.
