She explained that she made the decision to leave this “lovely place” a year ago. Actually, then as now, there is no reason to leave, however with each member who left the group, she wondered when her day would be. So she decided to take a completely different path than before. Kitano Hinako is the sixth member of the 2nd Generation to leave the group within a year, starting with Hori Miona. She will graduate from the group at the end of April 2022.
