Hizuki Mukai Announces Graduation From Nogizaka46
Hizuki Mukai, a member of the popular idol group Nogizaka46, announced her graduation
from the group and retirement from the entertainment industry. The news broke on
15:00
November 1 through her official blog and during her radio show Nogizaka46 Hizuki Mukai's Thursday
meeting on BAEFM. According to her blog, Mukai stated that she will not participate in the group's
upcoming 37th single, set for release on December 11, 2024, and that she plans to graduate by the
end of this year. Mukai's decision to retire from the entertainment industry stands out,
as many idols pursue careers in acting or modeling after graduation. While some choose to
leave the industry altogether, Mukai's choice raises questions about the second careers of
idols. In her blog, she reflected on her journey of over eight years with Nogizaka46 and expressed
how the challenges of adapting to change had increased over time. Despite her cheerful
demeanor on variety shows, there was a profound sense of contemplation in her words about her
time in the group. She noted, spending enjoyable moments with my members and coming to terms with
myself helped me realize how much I love being on stage. This made me positive about my future
beyond Nogizaka, leading me to this decision to graduate. Mukai spent a significant period as an
under member and was first selected as a prominent member for the 34th single, Monopoly, in 2023.
Her experience as an under member allowed her to find her worth within Nogizaka46,
regardless of her position. A fan of the Saitama Saibu Lions baseball team, Mukai's graduation
leaves a notable absence in the fan community, especially following her recent appointment as
the official manager of the cultural broadcasting Lions Night radio show to start in March 2024.
Many fans are left saddened by her departure, hoping for continued success in her next chapter.
