Gratitude Mai Shiraishi official blog translated in English 感謝。 白石麻衣オフィシャルブログ英訳
Good morning.
As being reported in the newspapers and the official website, I am going to graduate from Nogizaka46 when I finish all works with next single.
I'm sorry that I'm writing a blog about my graduation even though new year has just started.
I've been thinking when to graduate for like 2 years after I turned 25.
I've thought that it would be the time so many times, but the more members had been graduating, the more I had got the feeling that I wanted to be with Nogizaka bit longer as well as I wanted them to graduate with smiling. And I've been here before I knew it.
I noticed that younger members got great grown up and that made me think I should move forward without Nogizaka last summer and I decided.
About 8 years I spent with Nogizaka is really precious for me and that has helped me face myself.
I've met Nogizaka members that I love and so many fans that's been supporting me after I joined Nogizaka.
They gave me a lot of words, "Do your best", "I'm supporting you" and they helped me a lot.
Thanks to them, I've been able to be a member of Nogizaka46. I really appreciate it.
I will be loving Nogizaka and be important for me even after I graduate and this time I want to help them from outside.
We have Birthday concert coming and I hope I'll have graduation concert too. So I hope I'm having great time with the rest of time.
I'm not gonna say I won't miss Nogizaka, but let's put it aside now and hope it'll be wonderfull year for Nogizaka this 2020.
I'll keep doing my best until then.
Thank you.
Mai Shiraishi
