AKB48 Team A Kenkyuusei Shoji Nagisa has graduated from the group as it has become difficult for her to manage her activities and schoolwork.�

Shoji passed AKB48's 16th generation audition in 2016. On the group's official website, she commented, "The two years of activities was my treasure. I am full of gratitude to everyone who supported me, the members, and the staff. Thank you very much. From now on, I will do my best while treasuring the many memories I received from everyone."

As Shoji graduation was dated November 4, there will be no graduation concert for her. Also, she will not participate in her scheduled handshake events.
