NGT48’s Sato Anju (17) announced that she is graduating at an NGT48 performance at a private theater in Niigata City on the 25th.
Sato said she started thinking about graduation and her future last year and wanted to enjoy her high school life.
本日、佐藤杏樹が卒業発表をさせて頂きました。
あたしらしく明るく発表するね!
と言っていましたが、
アンコールからガチガチに固まって動けなくなっていく杏樹の緊張感がじわじわと伝わってきました。
あと1ヶ月強NGT48として楽しい日々を送れるようサポートしていきたいと思います。#NGT48 pic.twitter.com/hpGNfNnqKV— 早川麻依子 (@hayakawamaiko) August 25, 2019
Sato’s final handshake will be on September 23 and her graduation performance is at the end of September.
She said there are no plans for entertainment activities in the future.
Sato passed the final audition for the first generation back in 2015 and became part of Team NIII in 2016.
