I, Umehara Mako, hereby announce my graduation.
As I did a lot of activities and experienced many things with NMB48, my thoughts towards a certain dream of mine that I held for a long time have strengthened.
The more I continued with NMB, the more I felt that I couldn’t chase that dream.
But, with my personality, it was difficult to keep doing both, and I thought that I would be half-heartedly doing both of them.
With all of this on my mind, I decided to graduate from NMB48 and pursue this other dream.
I will become a high school student this spring, and I want to work hard and study towards my dream.Even though I never made senbatsu, I’m really thankful to everyone that cheered me on. I was really fortunate to have worked with NMB48 and to have fans cheer me on.
Please continue to support me in NMB48 so that I don’t leave with any regrets.
Miorin:
Good luck pursuing your dream!
It takes a lot of courage to graduate and choose a new path with determination.
But taking that first step is necessary to change!
While I’m still a concurrent member, I want to treasure the time I have with Mako.
Oota Yuuri:
My favorite Mako-chan announced her graduation.
I heard it about it just before, so I was able to prepare myself, but still, when the time came I became incredibly sad.
Everyone is bawling…
But that’s the just way it is.
I also cried when Mako told me over the phone.
There’s still time before she graduates, so until then, no, even afterwards, let’s keep hanging out like we still do❤❤❤
Much love, Mako!
Aapon:
So, Makopon is graduating ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡
The Makopon that I liked, who would always talk to me with a cute and radiant smile!?
Emichi:
Makochan announced her graduation.
It’s a graduation meant to bring her closer to her dreams.
So, I’ve decided to support her.
I have feelings of uneasiness and of loneliness, but…
“Congratulations on graduating!”
… is how I want to send you off.I love you, Makochan!!!♡♡
Anchu:
I was surprised by Mako’s graduation.
But I think that that Mako is really cool!
She’s got a great smile
Akarin:
Makopon(´；ω；｀)
I’ll miss you…(´；ω；｀)
I really liked your impersonations(´；ω；｀)
*sniff*(´；ω；｀) I’ll miss you (´；ω；｀)
Uuka:
There was announcement that Mako was graduation tonight.
I knew about it beforehand.
But still, I wasn’t able to collect myself.
As the stage performance was ending, I really felt uneasy.
It’s the first graduation from B II.
We overcame a lot of things…
I’m gonna miss you.
I really like you, Mako…
I love BII.
I love you guys like a family.
That’s why, I’ll continue to cheer you on.
I’m going to treasure the remaining time I have with Mako, and the BII before the reshuffle.
Somehow,
I didn’t think I was going to write such serious things about Mako, lol.
Is this a prank? lol

About Mako,
She seems like a frivolous person,
But deep down she’s amazingly mature
And I think it’s really cool that she sat down and discovered her own path.
Nagisa:
I was really surprised by the graduation announcement.
But, I will always fondly remember the kind and funny Makopon-san.
I want you to keep running towards your dreams!
Me too, I don’t want to lose!
Ripopo:
I just learned about Makopon’s graduation announcement.
We’re both from Kyoto, and I think Makopon is a really funny person, so I was looking forward to doing some location shoots together..
To graduate for you dream…
Good luck, Makopon!
As someone who comes from Kyoto, work hard and give us something to represent, Makopon!
Sayanee:
At today’s B II performance, Makopon announced her graduation.
I thought she was still a young kid, but to take a step towards pursuing her dream, I think that’s really cool.
As the first person to graduate from BII, I was really shocked and I’ll miss her, but it’s those things that strengthen both of them, and I think they will both grow as a result.
Fight on, Makopon!
Fight on, Team BII!
Shuu:
When writing this blog… there was Mako’s graduation announcement.
Mako ;_;
I know there was nothing I could do, but I really want to perform tonight.
Finally, there’s someone graduating from BII ;_;
It’s heart-wrenching…
I really like Mako
We’d always say dumb stuff, and joke around…
And have serious talks…
When we’d have work over multiple days, we’d always spend time together…
This hurts ;_;
It’s so sad…
I honestly hate this…
I’ve thought about this and that with Mako, and I, along with all the other B II members, know that it’s the right thing to cheer you on.
Yeah…
Cheering you on.
It’s not like we can’t meet.
Heh.
I will definitely show up for the graduation performance, Makochan.
There’s a lot more, but you get the picture, I think. That’s a lot of stuff to translate, lol.
I’m definitely gonna miss her. She was a leader of BII, a great MC, always cheerful. I thought it was only a matter of time until she would breakout and start doing good work, as she was one of the better talkers and was developing an interesting side, like a Miichan. I think it definitely hurts more to see a leader graduate, especially someone so young and seemingly unfulfilled, but girls gotta do what they gotta do.
