[2012.12.22] Hikawa Ayame to graduate from NMB48

[Jul3]

As if one NMB member graduation isn't enough for today, here's a second:

Hikawa Ayame will graduate due to foot problems.

Her graduation performance is scheduled for December 22nd.

&*^@&*# That is a massive blow. 



She has so much potential. She was finally starting to establish her name and character.
She's funny, she's hot and she actually wanted a career in gravure! Well, I guess that is still possible though...
She's one of the first NMB48 girls I got into because was a mix between Moeno and Yukirin.

Graduating sucks that much more when it's injury related...

  Graduation Message: 

I, Hikawa Ayame will graduate NMB48.

I had taken a temporary hiatus due to my foot injury on 29th October.
Although I am undertaking treatments, it has not completely healed yet.
It starts hurting whenever I practice.
When I am taking rest now, I also started to consider things about my future.
I started to consider about graduating as well.
I deeply appologise to those fans who were eagerly waiting for my return, and had to come across such an announcement.

I really feel happy that I got the chance to enter into NMB48.
There were times where I enjoyed, I was happy, and also there were sad and painful times as well.
I was able to share these times with other members.
Having a lot of these valuable experience I hope that I was able to change myself even though its just a little.

I am really grateful to the members, staff, my family, friends, and all the fans who were always supporting me.
I have decided to follow a different path from now onward.
I want to believe in myself and keep walking ahead.

I cannot participate in the stage due to my foot injury, but they have planned a graduation ceremony for me.
I would be happy if you could please watch over me until then.

A heavy blow indeed, I really started to like this girl even though I'm not too much into NMB yet at all. This will make em somewhat less interesting. 

I hope she finds luck in her next project, but had she stayed I think she would have made quite a name for herself eventually.

Dammit! Dammit, Dammit, Dammit!!!

Ahem. [Deep Breath]

I was really hoping that Ayanyan's foot would heal, and she would be able to come back.   

I don't think this would have upset me quite so much if it was the only recent NMB graduation. But what feels like a massive exodus of NMB members this year has really been weighing down on me. And now this - the second announcement today - just feels like too much.

Plus, I really really like Ayanyan. Probably more than any of the other recent graduations. Also, it's worse to me when a member has to graduate for physical reasons rather than because they choose to so they can study more, or because their career is taking off somewhere else.

Now then, I want to end this mostly negative post on a positive note. She says "I have decided to follow a different path from now onward. I want to believe in myself and keep walking ahead." I believe in Ayanyan, and will support her in whatever path she follows.
