Statement from Yagi Shiori[8]

| To everyone who has always supported me,
I, Yagi Shiori, will graduate from Hello! Project and Tsubaki Factory after Tsubaki Factory's 10th-anniversary concert at Nippon Budokan on April 30. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the members, staff, and all the fans who have supported me. Over the past three and a half years since I joined Tsubaki Factory, I have gained so much valuable experience. Although this time has not been very long. I have continually challenged myself and lived a truly fortunate idol life! Through this experience, I have deeply realized the truth of the saying, "Effort will always pay off." However, not only that, I have also felt the immense importance of timing and luck. I believe that effort is what allows us not to miss any opportunities. I don't want to miss the opportunities that are waiting for me ahead, so I decided to graduate at the concert on April 30. While there have been challenging moments during my activities with Tsubaki Factory, this time has been filled with joy and learning. I will carry what I have learned with me as I move forward to pursue my childhood dream of becoming a musical actress after graduation. Although parting ways with my beloved Tsubaki Factory members is incredibly lonely and heartbreaking, we still have three months left! I will enjoy this time to the fullest with my cherished members, giving it my all to ensure Tsubaki Factory remains full of energy! Please continue to support me until the very end!
