Keyakizaka46’s Harada Mayu has announced her graduation from the group.

This is most likely directly related to the scandal which surfaced recently where it was revealed that she was dating her former teacher.

While scandals are nothing new in the idol scene, it seems like this one was particularly popular due to the other person involved in the scandal, that being her former teacher. Regardless of the matter it was mentioned that the request to leave was put in by Mayu herself.

The graduation was immediate so it’s unknown if she will be replaced or if the group will continue without her, but we will update if there are any more details.
