NMB48’s Kusaka Konomi announces graduation, to pursue her career as a dancer/choreographer

NMB48 member Kusaka Konomi (22) has announced that she would be graduating from the group.

Kusaka said that before she joined NMB48, she dreamed of become a dancer and a choreographer.  But she was unable to demonstrate her ability because she was nervous until she passed the audition for NMB48 and for the next seven years, it would give her the confidence.

Kusaka said that she was deciding to graduate in February and she was asked to write a screenplay for a stage comedy but also an offer to do choreography by both Sashihara Rino and Yamamoto Sayaka and she realized this is what she really wants to do.

So, after she graduates from NMB48, she wants to become a dancer and choreographer and will do her best after graduating.

Kusaka’s final performance and NMB48 activities will be announced at a later time.
