Tanaka told the audience, “I have been thinking about graduating for awhile.  I debuted 8 years ago and looking back at these eight years, I felt there was nothing left and I want to be standing at the starting line again and see a new scenery.  I want to find something that I could walk on a different path.  I would like to improve myself and work hard so I can meet you again”.

Tanaka Natsumi also was a concurrent SKE48 Team S member from 2014-2015.
