NMB48's Nishizawa Rurina announces graduation

It was announced on the official NMB48 blog that Nishizawa Rurina (20) will be graduating from the group.

Nishizawa announced her graduation at the Team N Pride performance.

Nishizawa said, “I joined NMB48 as a second generation student and approaching my ninth year. As a individual, I reached a milestone of becoming 20-years-old. I thought about an activity that I could do completely, but I did a lot of thinking about myself and thought it was time to graduate. I joined the group when I was young and have had many wonderful experiences at NMB48. I felt I have grown up well, so I want to jump out of the group and take on new challenges and look on forward. It will be a short period of time until I gradaute, but I would be glad if you can keep supporting me through the rest of my activity. Thank you very much.”

Nishizawa’s last performance and her last activity date will be announced as soon as they are determined.

Nishizawa was born on July 27, 1999 and is from Osaka prefecture. She is known for her interests in soccer, building plastic models and video games.
