    I joined NMB48 at the age of 12 and have been with the group for about 6 years. I have had a really intense idol activity. Looking back, there have been a lot of fun and happy times. But there were also a lot of frustrating times, and it was at NMB48 that I cried alone in the bath with my face in pieces, and it was also at NMB48 that I laughed a lot and had fun with the members. There were many times when I wanted to run away, but there were always members around me who inspired me, and I also hated to lose, so I said to myself, "I'll do my best! I was so excited. I really feel that I have been blessed with the environment that has surrounded me for the past six years.

    To be honest, there were many times when I thought I was not suited to be an idol. But my fans always told me that I was their idol and praised me a lot.
    I was able to be confident in my idol activities because of their support and encouragement.

    There are many things I have realized since entering this world. I have realized that "as long as I put in the effort, there is always a chance to make it somewhere.
    I don't know if it is a small thing or a big thing, but I knew that the time would definitely come when I would be rewarded. So, I think that the 8th term students are going through a very difficult time, but I hope that they will not be discouraged and keep working hard.

    I was really happy to have everyone's support. There are so many idol groups out there, but thank you for finding me! Thank you for all the love and affection for about 6 years. I will love you all forever and ever, so please take care of yourselves and stay well. Thank you very much!

    And sadly that was it for Cocona who has been my NMB-oshi for just a few months following Miru's graduation. She's already deleted her Twitter account as well as almost everything from her Instagram, she's just left a few pictures from today on there. I wish her well for her future and I hope she won't disappear forever!

    Until the very last, Cocona still said that she was fun being an idol so if she is happy I'm happy for her too. Whatever she gonna try next, wish her the very best and hope I can see her again. I've already missed her :cry:
    Cocona is my kami-oshi in NMB48 since the first time I saw her in Boku Datte naichau yo cover with Sayanee and Aayan, it's been more than 3 years. I remembered searching everywhere to find out who this beautiful girl is, how happy I was when she got her solo concert (even before Miru, Yuuri, Aayan at that time), and how gorgeous she is at the 2020 jisedai concert. She'll always be the cutest idol ever.
    Cocona graduation means Umeyamamoto finally comes to an end too, when Datte datte datte released did anyone thing about this day could come so soon like this? It's so heart-broken when watching again that 2020 Jisedai concert, both of them and all others were so shining and promising.
    Personally, her graduation reminds me of Fuuchan, they both graduated during their peak, when people put so much expectation on them to become truly ACE of the group. Maybe after her rival Aayan was gone and the relationship with AKB48 and Tokyo was cut, she lost her momentum as an idol and choose another path for her future. I always feel like in Umeyamamoto, 557 is more praised by AKB48 staff and also Kanto works.
    Thank you for all those time Cocona :inlove:

    557 is back in the world of entertainment! It makes me so happy! :cute:
    She wants to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. I hope she can be part in some big productions in the future. :blush:

    I watched the actual live, but the scene at 9:30 is worth rewatching a few times.:lol: (I missed stuff like this from her q.q)
