Model Mizuki Yamamoto (22) graduated from Meiji University School of Agriculture's life science department on the 26th. Yamamoto was at the Nihon Budokan in Tokyo for the graduation rites and commented: "I was able to graduate in 4 years without any hitches. Thank you for all your support. I want to pursue modeling and acting seriously from now on.".

Yamamoto wore a hakama which she personally designed and said, "I was extra cautious with the coloring. The theme of this is a 'retro-literary girl'.". Looking back at her campus life, she said that she enjoyed "studying for exams until late at night with my friends, eating lunch on the grass with them and playing cards at the cafeteria". She also said, "I struggled with the subjects that put emphasis on attendance. I had trouble trying to stay awake, especially when I had to film until early in the morning". She continues: "I enjoyed studying subjects which involved solving problems using the scientific method. I would have wanted to join more lab experiments, though. I hope I can put these things that I have learned to good use at work.".

Yamamoto said that people have expressed their support for her, but she insisted that she did not meet a special someone. Some people did confess their feelings to her, but she said that "Unfortunately, there haven't been any drama-like situations for me". She also said, "I also wanted to take part in joint parties, but I couldn't. I would have liked to have more fun with everyone else.".
