    Honestly such a shock. She's the leader and the backbone of Nogi. I'll really miss her, but I guess that means I better enjoy her for the next two months. Good luck on your future career!

    Oh Captain my Captain... :(

    I thought she would stick around a little longer to help the 4th gens, but it looks like she's getting really busy with her other work. Nogizaka is not only losing her leadership, but her strong performances, personality, and singing. Ive always thought she was one of the top vocals in the group.

    Thanks for all the years of hard work, Cap. We'll miss you greatly, but the future calls. Best of luck the rest of the way ;)

    So...I started venturing into the idol world by following Nogizaka in 2013. And Reika was my first idol oshimen. I was smitten & can't get enough of her sweet smile in Nogidoko. Loved her singing voice as well.

    I should be used to graduation news by now...but this one hits me hard. I guess you always remember the first one the most. Well, I suppose at least I have her PB to remember her by...and it was shot in my country too, haha.

    Good luck & all the best to our Nogi Captain. Thank you for your hard work all these years & thanks for the memories.

    I felt it was coming. Sad but expected.

    She was one of the 1st gens that was just waiting for her time to make the announcement (like Maiyan right now).

    The ones that I feel will stay for more years despite being "old" members are the ones like Kazumin, Manattsun, Sayurin... but I didn't feel that for Reika too.

    I hope I will get a ticket of the final day in Tokyo to support Reika..

    I dont want it turn to be a graduation concert because it'll be sad
    but I at the same time they will make it a graduation concert because of all the things captain has done for Nogizaka.

    just when i thought the next senbatsu that going to graduate is inoue.

    they should have 1 ep of nogichuu for her at least, not some 2 minutes corner like usual.
    it's the 1st captain we talk about.

    So I was finally able to read Captain's blog. And I'm still shocked and sad. One of my favourite members is going to prove herself in the Japanese entertainment industry, and I'm so happy for her.

    But I'm still so sad. This is (and probably will be (maybe until Habu graduates)) the most emotional I've gotten for a graduation. I'm going to miss Nogi's ponkotsu captain so much, and now I'm going to be interested in how Nogi will develop. But for now, I'm going to enjoy what time we have left with her. I hope she gets a solo on the next single, and if she doesn't get some NogiChuu episodes, it would be a travesty.

    But I wish her well, and hope she succeeds in proving herself!

    Reika graduates

    She explains why she makes this decision, because she finds it is time to leave the group and develop her new career, on the other hand, she explains her decision is also for the group's future, she thinks her graduation will help the group develop and grow.

    She is not just an leader, she is also a stage actress, she participated in the stage play "Mr. Kaminari" (2014), the musical "Every Dog Goes to Heaven" (2015), the musical "Princess Knight" (2015), the stage play "Joshiraku Ni - Toki Kakesoba" (2016), the stage play "Kiraware Matsuko no Isshou" (2016), the stage play "Han-Kami" (2018), the musical "Rebecca" (2018), and will participate an upcoming stage play "The Bank Robbery - Diamond Godatsu Dai Sakusen" (2019).

    Good luck for your future life, Captain

    I wish the best for you

    A question is important now. Who will be the next Captain ?

    My longest post ever
    I maybe late to this news but you see last Monday night, while I was going about my normal routine when out of nowhere an arrow hit me right straight to the heart, as I was frantically looking for my first aid kit, I didn't notice the rampaging hoard of elephants coming my way and got run over by them. Barely able to stand, I leaned on a sakura tree and then BAM! was hit by a lightning again and again and I thought lightning doesn't strike the same place twice, well it struck me 46 times! A bit dizzy from all the strikes, I could barely hear the woodsman shouting, timber! I was able to evade the falling tree but fell into a 46-foot hole, it was dark but fortunately I had a light stick with me and used it to find a way to get out. At last I found a ladder,I climbed and climbed, almost giving up but the thought of the uni in the fridge for dinner motivated me to continue and I finally made it out of the hole! While enjoying dinner, I thought to myself, what a day! Is there anything worse this?! And then the G-bomb dropped ...
    Aaah Sakurai Reika neh, graduating neh ... it's Thanos,i.e. it's inevitable.
    As a fan,I just continue to support Reika, wish her more success in the new path she'll be taking, happiness and good health, keep smiling, happy, happy!
    It'll be different when watching N46 lives and TV performances in the future though, I won't find that ponkotsu face of hers anymore.

    Anyways, here's from a survey in the 2nd documentary pamphlet, it's a 46-short-questions long
    I apologize for the incorrect translations, nobody's perfect.

    moved to a different post

    The arrow's still stuck in my heart, btw.
