Rikako will be taking a temporary break from her activities with the group due to an injury of the foot, as per the theatre manager's and her own blog/G+. She will also not be participating in the Janken tournament next week. I am unsure as to the standard procedure for situations like these but it'll either mean Yamauchi Suzuran gets a bye or Kawakami Rena, who lost to her at the NMB48 preliminaries, gets to participate.

There was a rumor floating around that she wasn't alright and was behaving weird, but that was quelled when she returned to her SNS awhile back. I thought she was going to graduate, but with BII doing their special week, I figured it was all good. Now we know why she was acting up lately, and it was because of her injury. Hopefully she recovers from it and returns to BII.
Rippi just announced her graduation. Shit. Says she wants to be a fashion designer so she wants to spend the rest of her school life working towards that. Goddamit.
Rippi...;__; I guess from her injury to the grand shuffle, she had ample time to think about what's best for her, but damn it. I loved her MCs and her general craziness, I'll miss that. I wish her the best from now on though.
I think this is positive for her. She clearly had a dream she was working towards and seeing as he probably wasn't gonna be star here she made the correct choice for her future. I wish her all the best. Super sad about this but I'll try to think positively.
Nooo not Rippi ;A; I'm really sad to hear her announce her graduation but if fashion design is what she wants to do then I'll support her all the way! Good luck on everything, Rippi!
aw i'm sad about this i didn't pay much attention to her but i always thought she was so cute and liked to see her posts on g+ i hope she has success in her goal
Just some info Rippi's grad stage will be on April 10 and her last handshake on April 20! Glad she will still participate in the upcoming SSA concert and AKB request hour!
Today was Rippi's grad show. She still has a handshake event on the 20th so its not goodbye goodbye but watching the show is still hard. They performed an all-3rd gen version of Todokanasou de Todoku mono. They used to do this song in Aitakatta for BⅡ-1 and Rippi says she thinks the lyrics fit the BⅡ story. Reaching for something that is always just out of reach.
I'm gonna miss Rippi too. I was just starting to be in B2 and when I was finally enjoying B2, Rippi suddenly announced her graduation. Really sad Btw, I was at her final aisatsu yesterday. I'm the one with the red jacket at the back Her speech was just short. She just thanked the fans for supporting her in the 2 years she was with NMB.
Today is Rippi's 18th birthday!! Happy Birthday dear Rippi! I hope she is working hard towards her dream. It was so nice seeing pics of her again at request hour. Here are a few I like her new hair! The colour suits her and the cut is very similar to when she debuted in NMB!
Uuka met up with Rippi lately. Rippi gave her Chanel Lipcream for her birthday. It seems like NMB is relaxing the rules over meeting with graduated members. Keila and Rippi have been appearing with no blurred faces, etc.
