Nagashima Seira (Seirarin) / 1st Gen

Yeah, best case scenario is that they have a graduation special for Seirarin, which I would love.

 

^
She didn't reveal much detail in the radio but she said Ijiri actually came to see her when he heard about her graduation with a lament voice.
He went like," Nagashimaaaaa...".

 

Graduation special would be nice.
I'll miss her on Nogi variety. She along with Noujo always lift my mood when they appear.

 

Her randomness on TV shows will be missed.. The over-reactions are just like, her and Noujo's thing. Seeing one without the other will make it really sad. Wonder if she'll pursue both singing and acting or just one

 

since she was often seen as a leaderly figure withing the Undergirls, I expected other UG girls (such as Noujo/Chiharun/Rottei/Kanarin) to graduate before her so it's yeah, an unpleasant surprise :c she said that she doesn't want to leave the entertainment industry so I guess she will following a talento/comedian route ? good luck for her anyway ;;

 

I like Seirarin, she's one of the members I first liked back when I learned about Nogi. I agree, Seirarin and Noujo are good at variety and that's why I like them, they're cute and funny. I'm sad that Seirarin is graduating, I wish she stayed longer ;w; I will miss her. I wish the best for her

 

Thank you for sharing, guys.
I want a graduation special too. She's just too special to the members of Nogi, not to the media. She and Noujo always set the mood for the members in any show and she's always trying push people outside their comfort zone, making them trying new things.
She said she doesn't have an office or agency signed up with her after her graduation yet but she still has up till end of next February to find one. She always said that she would like to try acting.
I was expecting her to stay at least another 2 years in Nogi. Her popularity this year has actually grown tremondously compared to last year. She has a lot more media exposure this year though mostly radio shows. I guess that's why everyone were shocked to hear her sudden graduation announcement especially the members who were crying so much.

i wonder what happen to nogidan after Rarin's departure..

A lot of members can play the piano so it won't be a problem of finding a replacement.
I hope she get to perform as Nogidan one last time.

 

Nogizaka46 will be performing Kimi No Na Wa Kibou at their first ever Kouhaku performance.
I'm glad that she will be able to perform with them in the senbatsu, as opposed to the back rows.

 

The details for the national handshake event this Saturday in Aichi is revealed and Rarin will have the solo lane #8 among Fukujin girls.
Archi prefecture is her birth place and this could be the last Zen-aku event in this area.

Under Live National Tour was announced today at Aichi Zen-aku, it will start on 19 March 2016.
The first weekend, 19 and 20 March in Nagoya will be Rarin's graduation concerts and they will be her final stage in the group.

It's not quite clear but the dates will be during the period of the next single, so Rarin could be the under member again.

 

If we look at graduated members' past, Ito Nene did not participate in the 10th single even though her graduation was after the release date.
Same thing with Hatanaka Seira. She didn't participate in the 11th single.

 

In before they move her to the graduated Nogi members section...

I'm sad to see her graduate.

I've been a Nogi fan for not very long, but in the short time she was one of my favorites. It was always great to see her having to contribute during NogiBingo whenever Ijiri called upon her. I loved her reactions on that roller coaster and haunted house videos. I think that made me a fan.

Her smiling face and her laugh felt like an invitation to smile and laugh along. And I would always do. To think that all we'll have left is the memories of that smile and that laugh is too much.

Whatever she does next and wherever life takes her, I'll always support her. Thanks for the fun, Nagashima-san.

Thanks, generic_user.
Nogizaka46 will never be the same again without her constant teasing of other members.

 

卒業おめでとう！ 超絶可愛い！仏の永さん！！
