Nishino Nanase (Nanasemaru) / 1st Gen

Happy graduation Nya~. Wish you better future after graduation.
Her graduation concert will be held next year, so there are stil few months she'll stay with Nogi.

 

Damn. I dont know what to do right now. My brain stop working, and my tears keep flowing

 

Didn't expect that. There's no way she's not centering next single, unless she follows Ikoma's footstep.
Well, 24 is just the right age to graduate, imo. Perhaps the time is just right for her.
Best of luck to her. Better enjoy her remaining days with Nogi.

 

Sad and happy at the same time.. I can't understand how i feel right now. Naachan.... (T-T)

 

Although Nogi's future is secure but it's such a big loss..

I am sure she'll do well but but but

Going to miss those weird drawings, handcrafted gifts, genki Naachan, dat demure smile..

At least now we know who 'won' the battle in Kokoro no Monologue

 

Very Shy personality who become The great center and ace of Nogizaka46 ...
7 Year being Idol , CM Model , Fashion Model and Actress ...
Thanks ...

and we can expect to see her again at TV Drama or Movie

 

Naachan
Cant help but to say..this was shocking to me TT

 

I really don't know what to feel right now (especially that I've just came back from work)
I just can't. She was there in most of my favorite songs in Nogi

 

She’s still staying in showbiz right? Or retiring fully like Hashimoto

Wait what? I'm so surprised, I was sure Maiyan would've been the next big name graduating, not Nanase.

 

Did she speak about her reasons, her future plans or the date of her graduation?

Wow, this is a shock, we're losing a HUGE part of Nogi

 

Dear lord. One can try to prepare for these happenings, but it always comes as a shock.

I am glad she will be around for at least a couple of months. It eases the blow.

After that, I am curious to see what will happen to the dynamics of Nogizaka. Such a prominent member leaving could shake up things quite a lot.

In the coming months, let's give her the praise and gratitude she deserves as one of the faces of Nogizaka and her influence of what Nogizaka is today.

 

From what I read on her blog, the place and date for her grad concert hasn't been decided yet but it will be next year.

I don't think she gave a reason other than she's talked about it with her management for the last year now.

It also seems like she plans to continue working in the industry so she should still be on TV/Magazines.

I'm a bit surprised and also sad. As one of the most popular members of Nogizaka, her presence and appeal will be missed even with the 3rd gen coming up and 4th gen coming in.

But for now, I'm gonna enjoy seeing her last few months and looking forward to what she does next!

 

I am heartbroken to say the least. I want to cry but i’m stuck at work. Following idols sucks.

I wish for a happy future for Nanase.

 

I gotta find myself another hobby, something that doesn't bring me this kind of feeling.

 

What the .... !?!?!?

I'm seriously shook, wow. Was not expecting that really gonna miss her when it happens, but lets enjoy the time she has left and hope she stays active in emtertainment industry!!!

This kinda reminds me of Maeda announcing her akb graduation while everyone was speculating about Oshima.
But having said that i feel like we had all kinda forgotten that the '94 girls turned 24 this year so they might be looking to move on from idoldom- heck nanase is older than nanamin was when she announced her grad...

 

Some info:
- She has been discussing her graduation with management for the past year
- Will end her activities with the group by the end of this year
- Her graduation concert will be held in 2019
- She will stay in showbiz

It's a shock but I wish her all the best. Kinda sad to see one of my favorites go.

 

For those that can't read japanese, this is a translation of her blog post that i did. Some parts are not translated very well so please forgive me.

秋だぁ〜
it's autumn ~
お久しぶりになりました！
Long time no see!
西野です
Its Nishino
いきなりですが 皆さんに伝えたい事がありまして、、、
It may be sudden, but i have something i want to tell everyone , , ,
約7年間 本当にお世話になりました。
Thank you for the support over these 7 years.
わたくし西野七瀬は年内の活動をもって 乃木坂46から卒業いたします。
m(_ _)m
I, Nishino Nanase will graduate from Nogizaka46 within one year.
17歳から24歳までを乃木坂で過ごして
Living in Nogizaka from 17 years old to 24 years old
いろんな人に出会って、いろんな感情を知って、未完成だった私は作られていった気がします。
I met various people, knew of various emotions, making me feel I was made incomplete.
まだ完成してないし それが目標でもないけどね
Not complete yet but thats not a goal either
あれ？こんな負けず嫌いだったっけ、とか
Ehh? Since when did I hate to lose so much,
自分ってここまでテンション上がるんだぁ、とか
I became so fired up
こんなに号泣したの何歳ぶりだ？とか
how long has it been since I cried so much?
あー悔しくてどうしようもないわい！って
saying "aaー I'm so frustrated but i can't do anything about it"
心も体もぐったりするほど動かされたし
my heart and body were moved to the point of exhaustion
知らない自分を発見できた。
I found a new me that i did not know about.
最終オーディションの日から思い返し始めたら、語りきれないほどの大切な思い出がいっぱい、いっぱい、あります。
When I recall the day of the final audition, there are lots and lots of important memories.
めちゃくちゃ楽しかった！！
Its was really really fun ! !
私の人生のなかで たぶん一番、で刺激的に生きた時間だったんじゃないかな。と 今、思います。
They were probably the most brilliant and exciting times of my life. Now that i think about it.
そうした時間を送り続けることができたのは メンバー、スタッフさんはじめ、なにより乃木坂46を応援してくださる皆さんがいてくれるからで、
Because of the support given from the members, staff, and most of all the everyone who supports Nogizaka46,
弱い私は何回も何回も 皆さんから自信をもらいました。
the weak me has gained confidence so many times.
コメントやお手紙や握手会で、思いを届けて頂いて ありがとうございました。
Thank you for telling us your thoughts and feeling through comments, letters and handshake meeting.
私なんぞを推しと言って頂いた皆さん、本当にありがとうございました。
Thank you so much for supporting someone like me.
成長させてもらえた。これも皆さんのおかげですね。
I grew alot. Its thanks to everyone.
少しは強くなれたのかもしれません( ・∇・)
I might have also grown slightly stronger. ( ・∇・)

好きだったこの場所から離れるというのは、ちょっと不安もありますが
確かに自分で選んだこと。
Although leaving the place I liked makes me a little anxious, its something I chose myself.
一人になってからも、このお仕事は続けていきたいので、これから先どんなことがあるのかな って楽しみな気持ちが大きいです。
Since I'm going to continue this work even after I became alone, I am looking forward to how things are going to be.
なにかやり残したことはないかな...？考えとこ。
Do I have anything else left to do... ? Thinking about it.

卒業のことは実は一年以上前から事務所の方とお話をしてきまして、ついに今日 皆さんに報告させて頂きました。
Actually I have talked about graduation with the office person over a year ago and finally got to announce it to everyone today.
足したり、引いたり、何回も直しながら
こつこつ書きました。
Adding and removing, editing it over times, I carefully wrote this bit by bit.
そして 活動は年内いっぱいなんですが、卒業コンサートは来年に開催させて頂く予定です...！
also, although there's going to be lots of activities over the year, the graduation concert is going to be held next year ... !
なんと、新しいパターンですが、ご理解のほど よろしくお願い致します。
Its a new pattern, thank you for your understanding
やっぱりライブ好きなので、みんなで楽しく盛り上がって、、それで乃木坂46を最後にしたいですね。
I love live performances after all, with everyone having fun and being excited , , that why I want finish with nogizaka46 as the last.
日程や場所など細かいことはまだ調整中みたいです。
It seems that details such as schedule and place are still under adjustment.
お待たせしてしまいますが、是非 楽しみに待っていてくださると嬉しいです！
Sorry to keep you waiting but I'll be happy if you are looking forward to it.

以上でした。
Thats all.

もうひとつ
Also, another thing,
この夏は日本各地でいくつか大きな災害が起こり、そんなニュースを見るたびに心が痛みました。
Several major disasters occurred all over Japan this summer, and my heart ached whenever I saw such news.
自分一人だけでは何もできることがないのかなと思っていましたが、乃木坂46として 先日の幕張全握のときに募金を呼び掛けさせていただきました。
I thought that there was nothing I could do with just one person but with Nogizaka 46 I asked for a donation at 幕張全握(an event i think) the other day.
ご協力頂き ありがとうございました！
Thank you for your cooperation!
お力になれますように。
I wish for your help.
日常が戻りますように。
May your everyday life come back.
被害に遭われたすべての皆様へ、心よりお見舞い申し上げます。
I wish to express my heartfelt sympathy to everyone who suffered the damage.

 

I'm so sad. I just came here wishing the news were fake.
