NMB48's Muro Kanako has announced her graduation from the group.

This announcement was made on May 8th during Team N's performance at NMB48 Theater in Osaka. Muro left a comment on NMB48 theater manager Kaneko Tsuyoshi's Google+ account. Regarding her graduation, she explained, "Doing gravia is really fun and I want to take it more seriously. After thinking about it for some time, I wanted to challenge myself as a gravia idol instead of relying on NMB48's name, and made my resolve to graduate."

Muro's final performance will be announced through the group's official website once its been decided.
