In a surprise announcement on SHOWROOM, NGT48’s first gen member Yamada Noe (22) announced that she is graduating from the group at the end of February and will also retire from the entertainment world.
Yamada said, “I have something to tell you. I, Yamada Noe will graduate from the group. And will retire from the entertainment world. The last six and a half years have been happy days. From now on, as a member of society, I will have less chance to meet fans and members. It was a courageous decision to leave my favorite place. I would like to enjoy my idol life until now”.
Yamada is known for her husky voice but also remembered for being one of the most popular Japanese AKB48G members auditioning on “Produce48”.
