Feels a bit expected, but it'll be strange to see Nogi without her, Nanase or Ikoma

Assuming the reports are correct

Her and Nanase were Nogi's face/representative. Wonder what Nogizaka46 is going be like after all the pillar members graduate? I just got into the 46 groups' music last year damn.

Will they really let her graduate without her centering one last single? The supposed date of her last performance is in March, which will be like 6 or 7 months from their last single.

I'm sad that her career as idol is ending and she was an amazing idol for many years, I'm excited to see her do more solo work and focus on her own career from now on I hope she centers her last single, I will follow her last moments in Nogi. She will always be my fav in the group. She deserves the best!
