NMB48 members Matsuda Shiori and Yoshida Akari to suspend activities

allkpop


On September 4th, NMB48 revealed through their official website that Team N members Matsuda Shiori and Yoshida Akari will be temporarily halting their activities.

When asked about her suspension, Matsuda commented, "I began to think, 'Until now I've been busy with work every day, but are my own behaviors living up to all my fans' expectations?' and 'Is this really okay with me?'. These insecure feelings made me feel uneasy about continuing my NMB48 activities; I felt that I needed time to look over myself once more." She continued, "I'll definitely be back in front of you all, so please watch over me warmly until then."

Yoshida has also left her fans a message about her suspension. "While working a lot every day, I've been having some doubts and anxieties within myself, and I felt as if I wouldn't be able to face my NMB48 activities... Since I've never regretted becoming part of NMB48 and I - of course - love NMB48, I'll be taking a break. I'd like to take a look at myself once more and come back with my original intentions."

Currently, the length of both girls' suspensions have not yet been confirmed. Yoshida's suspension will include her participation in NMB48's upcoming second single, which will be released on October 19th.
