Umeyama Cocona on April 4 during her last performance for NMB48.

The idol days are over for Umeyama Cocona. The 18-year old star member shocked the NMB48 community when she announced her plans to graduate from the group back in January. Cocona joined the group as part of its 5th generation back in the summer of 2016. With bad performance skills and a shy and quiet personality she found it hard to stand out early on. But she soon started getting more popular as the fans noticed her hard work and found her shyness and awkwardness cute and charming. She was selected as part of an NMB48 single for the first time in 2018's Yokobumono. In the years that followed her popularity kept on rising with a solo concert, magazine appearances, music units, skyrocketing handshake sales and in 2020 she dual-centered her first NMB48 single "Datte Datte Datte".




Cocona's graduation will be a hard blow to the group as she was considered a key part of both the group's present and future. Cocona revealed that she plans on studying and maybe trying out acting in the future. She might start by studying English, which is probably needed.



Cocona was sent off from the group with her first photobook, a graduation concert and a final performance at the NMB48 theatre. Not long after graduating she deleted her twitter account, but the memories will remain with her fans for a long time.
