Kobayashi Kaho’s Graduation and Retirement from the Entertainment Industry
When I heard the news about Kobayashi Kaho graduating from Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku and retiring from the entertainment industry, I was honestly
surprised. She stood out with her unique personality in Ebichu, always entertaining fans with her bright smile. Looking back at recent music videos and performances, there might have been signs, but hearing the official announcement still brings a sense of sadness. As a fan of Ebichu, I loved Kobayashi-san’s performances and her distinct character. Her little clumsy moments on stage and interactions with other members always made me laugh. The timing of her graduation announcement, considering the fans and ensuring it didn’t inconvenience other members, truly reflects her kindness.
Graduation of Idols and the Path to Becoming Ordinary Citizens
When it comes to the topic of retirement from the entertainment industry, it’s a reality that many idols transition to ordinary life after graduation. Observing the activities of members from Akimoto groups and Hello! Project after their graduation, it becomes clear that this trend is unavoidable. Kobayashi-san’s effort to maintain connections with fans through social media shows her thoughtful nature. Personally, I find myself curious about what happens to idols and artists after they graduate. Of course, walking a new path as an ordinary citizen is a wonderful thing, but as a fan, I can’t help but feel a sense of loss. However, supporting the path they choose is the role of a fan, right?
