It's been announced that Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku member Kaho Kobayashi will be graduating from the group on June 28.

On her official blog, Kobayashi explained that she had decided on graduating several years ago. "Since I was 13 years old, I ran at full speed to get here. And just as how each person has their own individual lives, I thought that I should think about my own future and step out into the world outside," she said. 

To her fans, she stated, "There are only 3 short months left until graduation. Until the spell is broken, I hope to celebrate my youth with the members, staff, and family ss Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku's Kaho Kobayashi."

Kobayashi's graduation concert will be held on her last day in the group, June 28. More details will be revealed at a later date.
