Tani's seitansai is scheduled for Wednesday, I'm wondering if there'll be a grad announcement then.

 

And sadly she's announced graduation.

She'll leave in March.

Google translation:

 

So... finally happened...
.. i.. don't feel actually sad... is like.. is done...

 

Since it has been rumored for years now, just like with Nao or Churi, i don't feel that sad.
And she doesn't retire, that's nice.
