SKE48 member Ono Haruka has announced that she will be graduating from the group in late-March.

This sudden announcement was made on March 4th during the finale of Team S' performance, "Seifuku no Me". The 24 year old Ono shared that she had been thinking about graduating for 1 or 2 years. Although she didn't reveal the reasons for graduating, she explained that this is a very positive decision she made for herself.

Ono joined SKE48 in July of 2008 as a 1st generation member. Since then, she has been active in theater performances as a part of Team S. Ono was chosen as a senbatsu member for the first time in the single, "Okie Dokie", which was released last November.
