NMB48 Team M member Nakano Reina will be graduating from the group.

The announcement was made on March 7th during a performance at NMB48 Theater. According to her, she wishes to concentrate on studying and wants to become a school teacher in the future.

Her graduation date and other final performances have not been announced.

Nakano Reina joined NMB48 Kenkyuusei as a 4th generation member in 2012. She was promoted to Team M on February 2015 and has been active since then.

It’s great to see members pursue their dreams outside of being an idol. Now that she has dedicated herself to her studies and wishes to become a school teacher I’m sure she’ll be able to focus on that dream and teach future generations of students. Best of luck Reina!
