Actress Nao Matsushita graduated from college today with a degree in music. Her talent is in playing the piano, which is pretty rare thing to find among the ranks of celebrity. Completing the degree proved to be a challenge as she had to juggle the exhausting demands of a budding career with her coursework.


Unable to completely devote herself to her graduation requirements, she even briefly considered dropping out. However, things worked out in the end, she stuck with it and although she was too busy to attend the actual graduation ceremony, a very pleased Matsushita did receive her diploma later. While those piano skills might come in handy later, for now the 23 year old actress plans to continue her ascent in the entertainment world. And things look bright for the musical graduate; she can be seen in the upcoming TV drama 「猟奇的な彼女」 as well as a major role in 「砂時計」 (Sands’ Chronicle) movie.
