NMB48’s Iso Kanae announces graduation

NMB48 Team N Co-Captain Iso Kanae has announced that she is graduating from the group.

Iso joined NMB48 back in September 2013 and drafted into Team BII in October of that same year. She was promoted to be part of Team BII in 2014 and then transferred to Team N at the 2017 NMB48 Team Shuffle.

Iso said about her graduation, “I’ve recently felt since I entered with NMB48 that I was finished being an idol and that it was time for me to go to the next step.  As an idol, I began at the age of 20, which is a late start, but still, everyday I was happy.  That’s because of the fans who supported me.  Thank you very much.  For the next step, I would like to continue work, and I’ve always been involved with soccer. Thankfully, I have also worked in TV, radio, magazines, web and many various things, that I would like to continue that work.  I would like to love soccer from the perspective of a woman and convey the fun and attraction of visiting and watching at a stadium to many people”.
