Statement from Niinuma Kisora[1]
To everyone who always supports me,

I, Niinuma Kisora, will graduate from Tsubaki Factory and Hello!Project.

I've loved idols since I was little, so in 2013 I participated in the Morning Musume "Mirai Shoujo" audition. Time has gone by so fast, and it's been 11 years since I joined Hello Pro Kenshuusei.

In 2015 I became a member of Tsubaki Factory and was able to have many valuable experiences. I had no experience singing or dancing and no confidence in myself, so it's thanks to all of your support that I was able to stand onstage.

Thank you always for your love.

Tsubaki Factory has gone through several transformations. But no matter the era, I think it's always been great and each member is irreplaceable. During last year's spring tour, everyone's individuality really began to come out, and there are more and more reliable members who exemplify the spirit of the camellia. Because of that, I've decided to move onto my next path.

I'll be 25 this year. I'd like to face myself and find my next stage. I want to take my time and challenge myself with things that interest me.

The days I spent as part of my beloved Hello!Project are a once-in-a-lifetime treasure. I'll continue to work hard until my graduation so I can convey my feelings of gratitude.

Forever from now on, so that the camellia flowers continue to bloom, please watch over us.

Thank you for your continued support.

Now!~ in Nippon Budokan.

Trivia[]

  • She believes she is the true "mirai shoujo", because of her personality, which she is often told is like that of someone from outer space.[22]
  • She collects Ishida Ayumi goods.
  • She wants to be an idol that everyone knows.
  • In the March 2014 issue of Gekkan Entame, she was ranked 3rd with Ogawa Rena as the "most airheaded" in Hello Pro Kenshuusei.[23]
  • Her rivals in Hello Pro Kenshuusei are her generation-mates. They joined at the same time but there are girls in her generation better at singing and dancing than she is, so she wants to be able to catch up to them. She wants to become someone who leaves an impression on people even when she's performing with all of her generation-mates.
  • Her dream was to have a major debut. She wanted to continue her activities in Hello Pro Kenshuusei and work on her expressions so that her smile can reach everyone.
  • She mentioned that one of her dreams was to have a page on Wikipedia.
  • For her, the best thing about Hello Pro Kenshuusei is having fans cheer for her at the Nama Tamago Shows.
  • For her, the hardest thing about Hello Pro Kenshuusei is remembering the dances.
  • She says the toughest thing about being a Kenshuusei is coming to rehearsals, and greeting and bowing to everyone and then not being able to do any of the performances, as well as having people who have worked harder and are better than her have to stop what they're doing to help her because she's so far behind.
  • She tried to be aware of her facial expressions during her first Kenshuusei performance since she's prone to making gloomy facial expressions. When she saw the crowd get excited during their song, she felt happy more naturally.
  • Tsunku's comments: "Your dancing is still half-hearted, I want to focus on the rhythm. The movements overall are very subtle, and so it's good to be able to show those subtle movements visibly, so I want you to go on to working on those subtle gestures. When your bangs are longer you look gloomy, so it might be better to keep them cut."
  • Sayashi Riho, Suzuki Kanon, Ogata Haruna, Nonaka Miki and Yamaki Risa said that they are curious about Niinuma.
  • According to an interview with JUNON magazine released in July 2014, Niinuma hoped on getting a blue member color.
