Today, Japanese media reported that Nogisaka 46 member Shiraishi Mai released the news on the official website on the 7th that he would graduate from the group.
She posted online: "I, Mai Shiraishi, will graduate from Nogizaka 46 after participating in the group's 25th single event released on March 25, and although there are not a few months left, I still want to ask everyone to continue to support me, please pay more attention." ”
After the news of Shiraishi Mai announcing his graduation was released, it triggered a cry of surprise from fans. Fans have left messages saying: "Fake, right? It was so sudden", "I knew I would graduate one day, but I was still sad".
Hara Nogizaka 46 member and actress Ikoma Rina also posted about this matter today, thanking Mai Shiraishi, "Mai is going to graduate, every time I watch a music show, her beauty always surprises me, and it will become more and more beautiful in the future." Thank you Mai for always leading Nogizaka 46 forward, it is you who represent the beauty of Nogizaka. ”
Both Ikoma Rina and Shiraishi Mai were the first to join the Nogizaka 46 group, joining Nogizaka 46 in August 2011, Yukina Yuki in May 2018, and during the first concert of Nogizaka 46 at the Tokyo Dome in November 2017, the two of them also walked onto the stage together in tears, which shows that the two have a deep relationship.
Over the past eight years since joining the group, Shiraishi Mai has served as the "c position" countless times, is the "first sister" soul figure in the team, and is also one of the members of the "Imperial Three Houses" in the hearts of fans.
Shiraishi Mai is not only active in various activities of the group, but also has a good figure, big eyes, white skin, and a sweet and outstanding appearance, which makes her active in major covers as a magazine model, making her the most desired female image of young women. In 2014, she released her first photo album "Pure Adult", which exceeded 100,000 copies in its first edition, causing a sensation in Japan.
In 2017, she released her second solo photo album Passport, which sold 104,000 copies in its first week, setting a record for the highest number of solo photo albums for female artists.
In recent years, she has also made up her mind to start making a move towards the theater world. In 2015, he starred in the TV series "Hatsumori Bemars". In 2016, he starred in the movie "Dark Gold Ugly Island Jun 3". In 2018, he starred in the TV series "Maybe Ever Could Have Done the Committee". On April 20, 2019, she starred in the campus comedy "Where Did My Skirt Go?" " for the first time to challenge the role of the teacher, playing the world history teacher Rimi Meng.
Nogizaka 46 is a famous Japanese girl group, and most of the first-term students are selected as teenagers and officially debut after six months of practice. Most of the fans who enter the pit are because of the appearance of a member, and after learning more about this group, these girls will naturally become "tuandi".
And the replacement of the team is very normal. In 1992, Shiraishi Mai was already an older member of the girl group, and it was only a matter of time before he graduated and flew alone. After leaving the girl group, Shiraishi Mai will have more time and space to choose his future development direction. With her current high popularity, it is a good choice to continue to release photo albums, or to patiently hone her acting skills and participate in more TV series or movie shooting.
It is believed that in the future Japanese entertainment industry, Shiraishi Mai will bring more works to fans and former "tuanzai".
