Keyakizaka46 member Nagasawa Nanako will graduate from the group on March 31. 

According to Keyakizaka46's official website, after Nagasawa put in her request for graduation, the staff talked it over with her, and accepted her decision. Nagasawa also updated her blog explaining that she wanted to "take a step toward her dream" before turning 23. She stated, "These four years are irreplaceable memories in my life. I feel sad that I won't be able to see my fans after I graduate... However, I will do my best to see everyone again!" 

Former Keyakizaka46 member Hirate Yurina has launched her official website. 

Hirate passed Keyakizaka46's first generation audition in August of 2015 and had been the center for every one of the group's singles until she withdrew from the group this January. Since then, fans have been wondering about her future activities.
