Thank you for your support.

I have rented the venue for today’s MiKER! Performance and I announced that I will be graduating from STU48.

I apologize for the sudden report to all our fans.

I had a very valuable experience while working as an idol at STU for about 5 years.

I’m really grateful to all the fans who have always given me warm and sometimes critical words while supporting me.

After graduating, I will break from performing arts activities and take a new path rather than the performing arts world.

The final activity date has not been decided yet, but I will graduate around autumn.

It’s only about 3 months left, but I hope everyone can spend time together while I am still STU48 Yano Honoka.

I will do my best to show you how we have grown together so that I can give back to everyone with the 5th anniversary concert, birthday festival, singing ability finalist live and so on!

Thank you for your support until the end.

STU48 Yano Honoka
