Inaba Manaka has graduated from Juice=Juice and H!P.
Her final blog
Good evening!
I, Inaba Manaka, has graduated from Juice=Juice and Hello Project today on May 30th, 2022, at the Nippon Budokan.
It's kind of strange to be writing in the past tense!
First of all, right now I just want to say that today's performance was a blast!!! I am filled with the feeling of "I'm so happy to be here."
I had a lot of laughs with everyone.
We did it!!!
Oh, thank goodness.
I felt a sense of relief that I was able to successfully complete the graduation performance and a sad feeling that this was really the last time.
I am still running through various emotions that I have not fully digested!!
Thank you so much to everyone who came to the Nippon Budokan, watched via live viewing, and watched live on Fuji TV TWO!
I think we were able to show the culmination of the current nine members.
As I read in my last letter, I was truly happy when I could think that I might have been able to help someone through my activities so far.
My life as an idol has been filled with such joy, and I have been truly happy!!!
When I was in Hello Pro Kenshusei, Country Girls, Hello Pro Kenshuusei Hokkaido, and Juice=Juice...
I have been able to come this far because of all of you who supported me, no matter what era I was in.
I am really grateful.
And I am so lucky to have such a great group of members that I love so much!
As for my future, nothing concrete has been decided yet.
I'd like to take some time off to first face myself slowly, and then discuss my activities with the company staff!
I am more myself than ever before.
I would be happy to create a place where I can present my natural self, and one of the areas I would like to try is learning fashion and makeup while having fun, and I am also interested in modeling work where I can express that!
Since I was allowed to announce my graduation, in the comments on your blog and at your storytelling sessions, you've wanted to see me singing, dancing, working on radio and TV, and acting! and...
I am grateful for the various opinions I have received, such as asking for an opportunity to meet with you, but I am sorry that I could neither deny nor affirm them because I have not yet decided on that stage, job, etc...
I would like to challenge various things with a positive attitude of doing what I want to do, when I want to do it.
Not just your work, but anything I do, something I thought I might not be able to do, but when I tried it, it was fun! Or, on the other hand, I thought I liked it, but it wasn't for me, or I want to master it more! or...
I believe that the way I feel at any given time is different, the timing is different, and I am sure that when I take on a challenge, I will realize something and it will lead me to the next challenge.
So I myself cannot yet imagine what I will be like in the future, but I would be happy if you would continue to watch over me warmly.
We look forward to your continued support of Inaba Manaka!
And I hope to enjoy watching Juice=Juice from now on with all of you.
For almost nine years.
Thank you so much for all the happy days!
