Here's what she said when she announced her own graduation:

I, Nakamura Yuka, has something I would like to tell everyone. I will be a middle school year 3 next year.I am thinking of placing priority in studying for my high school entrance exam.

I am sorry for not voicing this out earlier. I am sorry graduating just as my schedule is becoming packed this year.

I am truly sorry for being the first to graduate from Team E, but I hope you will continue to support Team E and SKE48. Even though I am graduating, I still love SKE48. I aim to be Team E's greatest fan. I will work hard to become Team E's greatest fan so everyone please work hard as well.

Nakamura Yuka is the first and only member of Team E to graduate. She joined SKE48 in 2010 during the 4th Audition on September, and was promoted to Team E on December. Her unit song in Team E 1st Stage [Shonichi] is Temodemo no Namida, taking on Saeki Mika's lines in the song. Coincidentally, Saeki Mika has also graduated.
