Nagashima Seira announced yesterday that she plans to graduate from Nogizak46. There have been plenty of idol graduations during the short period that I have been an idol otaku, but this is one which has saddened me.

Nagashima is my third favorite of the group and the top Under Girl member. I didn't really pay attention to her until this second video. That laugh and the enjoyment of the roller coaster was what made me her oshi. I was smitten. She's the group's leading mood maker in my opinion. I'll miss that laughter. I'll cherish her final days with the group.
