Yahagi who went through group and school activities, explained the reason for her graduation, "As you know, I not only went through my activities with SKE48 but also education activities. I had difficulty going through both of them, I consulted Yuasa-san several times."
Furthermore, "I did not appear at the theater show at all, and began to worry about this would also occur at handshake events and concerts. I apologize to members and fans for this, I also feel physically and mentally I have a limit when I have to balance these 2 activities. "
"Although only a short time, I went through my activities with SKE48 with all my efforts, thanks to all the fans, members, and staff who have supported me so far. Chosen as a member of SKE48, elected as a Senbatsu member, promoted to a regular member, got ranked in the announcement of the initial results of Sousenkyo, all my life I will not forget the path I have been with all of you. Thank you very much. I will do my best in the remaining time, please continue to support. "
