    Much respect for her. Her deed(s) for the SKE will be missed.

    It was expected, but it's still sad lol. I hope (albeit I doubt it) management will give her something as a goodbye. Another great member leaving tho~

    She was remarkable with her role in SKE. She will be missed.

    As much as Kaotan and I have joked about her potential graduation (I have mentioned to her a couple of times that I was worried about her leaving soon) this was inevitable. I mean she is going to turn 29 soon. The 48-groups are currently recruiting girls less than half her age.

    As someone who's kami-oshi is Wasamin, I never look at 48-group graduations as a 'final goodbye.' In fact I have seen many of my favorite past members post-graduation. Kaotan does get outside work, although a lot of it seems to happen in Osaka and Nagoya. (I have the same issue with Mikitty, who does a lot of her post-grad appearances is Kyushu) But I am hopeful I will at least be able to occasionally see her in Tokyo. Also, she and I are almost neighbors. [hehe] (I live close to where she grew up) We'll see.

    As for my future as an SKE fan, this technically pushes Tani up to the top spot in my SKE pecking order, but my interactions with her have been a bit rocky lately. Beyond that, I haven't really developed an intimate rapport with the other members I enjoy seeing, like Yuzuki, Kaho, Dasu or Hirata. Yuzuki probably comes the closest, and Hirata is still brand new. Perhaps I need to go to a national event to see what shakes out. But truthfully, as much as I like SKE, without Kaotan I become slightly less enthusiastic.

    I wonder when her last events will be. I do have Kaotan handshake tickets for the upcoming SKE event, which I'm sure she will be present for. I also have tickets for a couple of the Sentimental Train events, although not for the last one.

    Anyway, congratulations to Kaotan. She is one of the most fun, goofy, and down to earth idols I ever met. Almost every interaction I ever had with her gave me life-long memories and hysterical anecdotes. Hopefully her life post-graduation is just as fruitful and fun, and hopefully I will be able to see her.

    I agree here. Even Houkago Princess's Odagiri Nana, who is also going to turn 29, made the same decision last month. Especially now when marriages in the entertainment industry are all over the place recently.

    Video and article (announcement at 2:16)

    [dead link]

    "The first day performance of SKE 48's "Request Hour Set List Best 100 2018 ~ Kamiko is the Number of Members" was held, and songs ranging from 100th to 51th were announced at two day and night performances. Matsumura who joined as a third grader suddenly declared "I graduate!" at night performance of this day. When the audience raised an amazing voice, "I do not have such a good group, I am happy but I decided to graduate thinking that I have not grown anything," she revealed in my heart"

    I know I'm a bit late to this, but sad to see her inevitably graduate. She's definitely a one of a kind and I always thought she's cute in her own way.
