HKT48's Rino Sashihara(指原莉乃) Wants To Become A Mom In 5 Years

Rino Sashihara(指原莉乃) and 5 other HKT48 members visited a kindergarten in Tokyo for a surprise launch event for the group's newly released single "Sakura, Minna de Tabeta(桜、みんなで食べた)".

After interacting with the cute kindergartners at the event, Sashihara said, "I like children very much. After graduating from the group, I would like to become a mother soon. I am currently 21 years old so maybe in 5 years time frame but you never know.  Many older members in AKB48 are graduating due to the love ban rules set in place."

In response to Yuko Oshima's graduation ceremony at the end of March, Sashihara said, "Members are doing their best to fill the big shoes left behind by Yoko-chan. It's going to be lonely losing a powerful presence like her." Still, she emphasized, "I think the junior members like Mayuyu (Mayu Watanabe ), Paruru (Haruka Shimazaki ), and Yokoyama (Yui) can help boost AKB48."
