This was nao’s graduation note, posted on the Official fripSide site on March 15, 2009.

To everyone who has supported fripSide:

At this time, I, nao, have graduated from fripSide.

For everyone who has supported me until now, to everyone who has given me your love, truly, thank you so much.

In these 6 years working in fripSide, I’ve had some painful, some fun, and many other memories – studying, crying, laughing, along with the chance to meet you all. I’ve gotten so many warm feelings.
There aren’t enough words that can be said to express my feelings of gratitude towards my colleagues and all of my fans who have supported me.

I believe I want to continue doing music after this.
I’m looking forward to meeting everyone again as the new “NAO”.
I think I would like to keep doing cute music in the future.

Finally.
fripSide is still important to me.
fripSide is born again
Please keep loving
