It's been announced that AKB48's Kikuchi Ayaka will be graduating from the group on April 21st.
�
This was announced on April 13th during Team A's performance. She explained, "I want to move forward not as an idol, but by finding things that I want to do such as fashion and modeling. I made this decision after carefully thinking about it."�
Kikuchi made her stage debut as a member of Team B in 2007, and has been a part of Team A since November of 2012. During the big team shuffle in February, it was announced that she would be transferring to NMB48's Team N, but remained in Team A after objecting to the transfer.�
