It's been reported that NMB48 member Yamauchi Tsubasa will temporarily suspend her activities due to a leg injury.

During the group's 3rd anniversary live at Osaka-jo Hall back in October, Yamauchi challenged herself to a difficult dance as a member of the dance senbatsu. NMB48's theater manager Kaneko Tsuyoshi explained, "Recently, there has been a pain in her leg. Upon discussion with the doctor, her parents, and Yamauchi herself, it has been decided that she will be taking a break from NMB48 activities for a short while. Please watch over her warmly until she returns."�

Yamauchi also revealed through her blog that she has been performing with an injury since the end of last year. "I want to properly take a break and heal my injury. I may cause everyone to worry, but I hope to return after healing my injury completely. The next time we meet, I want to show myself looking healthy. Please wait until then," she expressed.

Yamauchi is a 3rd generation member who passed the audition in December of 2011. She became a part of Team B2 when they formed in October of 2012.
