Sometime back in September, NMB48 member Yoshida Akari suspended actvitivies due to her having personal insecurities. Recently, however, she has stated “If possible, I want to return to NMB48.” To accommodate her desires, the company has ask for fans opinions and help with the matter. If the fans dictate it so that she returns, she will resume lessons and start participating once again around mid-February.

Members of NMB48 Ticket Center can vote until 11:59 p.m. on January 21st, and the results will be announced during NMB48 Team N’s second “Seishun Girls” performance, which will be held on January 24th.

Best of luck to her, and I’m hoping this all works out for the best!
