Statement from Kishimoto Yumeno[3]
This is Kishimoto Yumeno.


Please allow me to make an announcement.

At the conclusion of this year's autumn tour, I will be graduating from Tsubaki Factory and Hello! Project.

I auditioned not because I wanted to be an idol but because I wanted to be part of Hello! Project, and I've had a lot of experiences here over the past 10 years, including my time as a trainee.

I've always loved to sing, but now I love it even more, and I began to dream of singing on my own. In the midst of all this, when I was hospitalized last spring and had to watch Tsubaki Factory from there, without me, I realized the others were much more reliable than I'd thought, and knew that if I graduated they would continue to be strong, so I was able to make my decision.

After graduating of course I want to sing, but also want to attempt writing and speaking, fashion and fitness, and try out all kinds of ways of expression.

In these few months I have left as an idol, I'll try to leave the best legacy I can with the group. "We'll fight to the last!" I'll go on with that attitude, I'd be glad if you continued to support Tsubaki Factory.
