It has been announced that HKT48’s Goto Izumi will graduate from the group.

The graduation announcement was announced recently at HKT48 Theater during her birthday concert. She will apparently be graduating to focus on her studies.

Graduations are always sad and this one is definitely an interesting one since the announcement was done at her birthday concert. Sure, it’s a great way to say goodbye to fans and let them know you will be leaving, but it’s definitely a rather sad note to leave at the end.

Nonetheless, fans have enough time to enjoy her in the group for a month so definitely plan on attending her last event if possible!

The graduation concert will take place on October 30.
