AKB48’s Nishiyama Rena has announced her graduation from the group.

According to her announcement, she has always dreamt with being a volunteer and helping other people. She will graduate and continue her studies as well.

The AKB48 graduation train is coming along and apparently more people will be leaving the family. While it seems like many have the same dreams of going to school only or becoming an actress, Rena’s dream is a bit more human and touching since she hopes to help others.

Her graduation will be con December 23, so it’s sooner than expected but at least it gives her time to get ready for school.
