Yeah. Here's why she was in the concerts this weekend: https://www.nogizaka46.com/news/2021/08/post-21081909.php

Hopefully, with the precautions taken that this would be the last of hearing about COVID messing with Nogizaka. Fingers crossed.

 

I think if it wasn't for COVID she probably would have graduated by this time. With all these musicals postponed or cancelled due to coronavirus, there's no reason to stop Nogizaka activities now for her.

 

today 10 more persons related to Les Miserables musical tested positive. so even Chiba performances are cancelled.

Ikuta mastering dashimakitamago? I guess there's nothing left for her to do in Nogi. Might as well graduate.

 

After watching the sub for the latest NogiChuu (ep 328), cooking queen battle, I feel so proud of Ikuta doing so well at cooking. She's come a long way hasn't she? This growth is what I love about following idols...

She announced that she will graduate on December 31

 

It surely is a bleak Monday at the moment...

 

Akanen (Sakurazaka) announced graduation the other day and now Ikuchan. My oshis announcing graduations in a week

 

Aargh!!! Even though she is not my Oshi, I really love and respect her. I will be missing her singing, dorkiness, and beauty! It's been awhile since I feel member's graduation announcement hit my heart differently. The last time I felt this was maybe when my Kami Oshi, Yumi, announced her graduation.
Happy graduation Ikuchan! Wishing you all the best for the future. May you achieve everything that you want.

 

sure her graduation announcement will come and that all what i prepared for because she my Oshi, but i didn't expected within this year. im not sad or mad with this graduation announcement of her, as a fan im wishing all the best for Ikuchan...

 

i thought she would graduate during 10th birthday lives , she's beaten my prediction by 2 months.
Yeah, wish her all the best. with her voice, she has a bright future in musicals especially. maybe solo artiste also.

 

Noooo. I know this day would come, but I haven't prepared myself for her graduation announcement yet.

Now i only wish iku chan still participate on nogi next single

 

Thank you for 10 years Ikuchan, I wish you nothing but happiness & success to your future endeavor.
Hopefully Ikuchan getting her much yearned Diving/ Travel(along with members) episode in for her final Koujichuu, perhaps Bananaman would tag along as well. I mean, Shitara very much consider Ikuchan as his daughter, not as an idol-daughter, but legitimate one.

 

A lot of my hope/fear/prediction happened this year. This one I obviously am not so happy. But it's been 10 long years. I understand that it's time. I know she'll be fine. No doubt she will do great. Congratulations and wish her all best.
