Career

Ogino has shared in interviews and live streams that she has auditioned for many idol groups before, including AKB48 and Idol Street but didn't pass either of them. She auditioned for AKB48's 15th Generation (2013) and as Team 8's Saitama member, but failed both of them. She was later chosen as a "Baito AKB" member, which meant temporary membership in AKB48. She later returned for the 2nd Group Draft Kaigi (2015) and was chosen by NGT48.^[1]

During the 2016 AKB48 General Election, Ogino ranked 95th. In 2017, the first-day results revealed Ogino to be in surprising first place, but after the end of the voting period, she ranked into 5th place, which still meant she was the highest-ranking member of NGT48 in the General Election. This allowed her to be part of the Senbatsu for AKB48's 49th single "#SukiNanda".

Ogino modeled for the fashion brand Heather, but following NGT48's 2019 scandal, she was dropped because of online backlash.^[2] On May 20, 2019, an unemployed Japanese man was arrested for allegedly sending death threats against Ogino to Japanese media and Niigata local government offices on May 9, 2019.^[3]

On July 27, 2021, Ogino announced her graduation from NGT48.^[4] Her graduation concert took place at Toki Messe on October 30,^[5] and she officially graduated from the group on November 8.^[6]

On May 30, 2022, Ogino terminated her contract with Horipro, her office for 4 years and 10 months.^[7][8] She is currently working as a freelancer.

Personal life

On February 16, 2025, in time for her 26th birthday, Ogino announced her marriage to her non-celebrity partner.^[9]

On April 19, 2025, Ogino announced that she is expecting her first child.^[10]
