i stole this from stage, better to post this than to shitpost whole day. I know there's some Ikoma oshi lurking here.
>Ikoma Rina blog translation:
As the Nogizaka 46 official homepage stated,
With the next single of Nogizaka46,
I, Ikoma Rina
will graduate from Nogizaka 46.
As for the reason for my graduation, it is because I decided that to take up a new challange as a new member of society with people of the same age.
Ever since I became 20 years old, i have been thinking about what should i do, living alone as an adult or to be more specific, what I am lacking plus what should i do to improve myself for the future.
I think that where i am now is not enough.
When I thought about timing when i should go challenge myself, annoucing it at this timing came to me naturally.
As this came very suddenly, I apologise to anyone who was suprised by this.
To everyone that supported me, and everyone that offered me kind words at handshake meetings, thank you very much.
Isn't it too fast, aren't there still many things in Nogizaka?
When I thought about graduation, my family, close friends and seniors in the entertainment industry gave me lots of advice.
You're right, there's still many thing left to do in nogizaka, but the current nogizaka is the best. Thats why I can safely entrust everything to the rest of them.
My experience in Nogizaka will always be my shield. Its something I feel that's too good for me. Thats why I will confidently take my next step with it.
Will you please push my back(Support me)?
I will be discussing and corfirming the details of my graduation with the staff from now on.
I think that my remaining time in Nogizaka with the fan, members and staff is going to be very fun.
Please take care of me,
Ikoma Rina
