"Hello everyone I am Reiko Maeda from NMB48 Team N draft trainee. It is sudden but I would like to draw. I love to draw ever since I was little and my mom always told me I was good at drawing. I am in the last year of high school and there is a lot of art time at that school so I draw and study daily. There is something I want to say. When I was in middle school my grade for art was a 5 and I got it many times. Is that amazing? Please say it’s amazing or I’ll get sad. It’s almost finished. It was me. I originally love idol and is an idol otaku. I will do my best for everyone to be into me. Welcome to Maeda Swamp. I ask for your support."

Today, Reiko had her seitansai tonight. Happy 18th !!!

I always thought she would be one of the KKS to be promoted, but alas, it was not to be. I've seen her doing MC and doing host and she's good at it. Hopefully, her promotion will come soon.

ENTAME 2021.12

 

its been said that reiko is a natural MC. She did a great job on the FAKE episode 2022.4.15. She talks good story. Her SHOWROOM is like an idol news show with guests and stories.
Reiko tells harmless but interesting gossip about Renatan, Kojirin, wakapon, and Shinshin. with guest appearances from Deguchi yuina and call in from Hori shion.

I'm really sad to hear Maeda announced graduation. she is such a fun member of the group and a true NMB48 AKB48 wotaku. I just got her full card set in NMB48 casual party app (the mahjong app) too. Her final activity will be in February 2024.

 

her mc skills, humor, love of idols will be missed. I hope we see her again in some future endeavor. certainly it seems she is shutting down her SHOWROOM and current SNS accounts. I can't retrieve her grad announcement rn to see if she mentioned leaving public work or just changing paths. i selfishly always want to hear updates as to what the former idols are doing.
