Fuuko Yagura graduated from NMB48 in 2018. While she is currently active in multiple fields such as talent and actor, she is involved as a producer in the "kawaii land project" that produces two new idol units together with Kano Yasuda, a former member of AKB48. She talked to her about her NMB48 days and her second career after graduating from the group.

Fuuko (along with ex-AKB48 member Yasuda Kana) has decided to withdraw from the Kawaii Land Project:

The reasons given (via Google Translate):

No payment from the management company for half a year

No funds to allow future operation

Falsehoods regarding documents

No communication from the operating company

Other concerns

Additionally Fuuko has posted the following:

As a producer, I have worked hard to create a better group, but I am very disappointed and frustrated that something like this has happened. I hope that this kind of damage will be reduced as much as possible for those chasing their dreams, and that they will be able to achieve their dreams in a better environment in the future. Thank you very much to everyone who applied for the audition and everyone who supported this project.

Again via Google Translate:

I can only say this as a small person with no authority among those who love Japanese idol culture.

It is said that there are currently over 4,000 idol groups in Japan. Unlike in the past, SNS and personal distribution have developed, We live in a world where a girl can say "I'm an idol!'' starting tomorrow, and even people with a little money who don't know much about it can audition, create a song, costumes, and choreography, and immediately form an idol group. Because it's stored away.

That's why, The industry has become a place where companies we don't understand, adults we don't understand, and even people we can't say are good enough have entered the industry. I don't know the details, so I won't write about it clearly, but at least I think that Yagura Fuuko and Yasuda Kana, who were supposed to be producers, are definitely victims, and they gave up their lives dreaming of becoming idols.

I'm sure there are girls who auditioned for this, so I really feel sorry for them. The operating company may also be a victim, and someone behind the scenes may even be pulling the strings. that's why, I want to say it out loud. "I hope people don't try to create an idol group casually.''

I would like you to face this situation with the determination to shoulder the burden of the lives of the girls, their families, and employees. I'm sorry about New Year's Eve. Because I love idol culture... I couldn't resist.
