NMB48’s Watanabe Miyuki holds first performance with AKB48

On June 29th, NMB48 member Watanabe Miyuki made her first appearance in AKB48 Team B’s stage performance, ‘Theater no Megami‘, at AKB48 Theater in Akihabara.
It’s been 3 months since it was announced that Watanabe would be joining AKB48 for a limited time along with SKE48’s Matsui Jurina. Watanabe, who appeared on stage without notifying the fans, combined her nickname “Mirukii” and performance name, saying, “I will do my best to become the theater’s ‘megamirukii’!”
In response, the crowd called out “We’ve been waiting!” and “Mirukii!” Together with the members of Team B, Watanabe performed AKB48’s songs as well as the unit’s song, “Locker Room Boy“.
Watanabe is now a member of NMB48’s Team N and AKB48’s Team B. Although she was ranked out of range last year, she placed 19th in this year’s ‘General Election‘. The 19th position was previously held by Matsui Jurina, Sashihara Rino, and Yokoyama Yui.

Maeda Atsuko Announces Her Graduation

Maeda Atsuko, the face of AKB48, has announced her graduation tonight on the final day of AKB48's [Gyoumu Renraku. Tanomu zo, Katayama-buchou!] concert in Saitama Super Arena. No graduation date has been announced at this time.


Maeda Atsuko's graduation speech

I am a first-generation member and have been here since I was 14. This was my life. It was a big decision. And I will make a second important decision. I am going to graduate.

I have caused some troubles because of my mood swings, but thanks for everyone's help, I am here today. To perform in Tokyo Dome was a dream since I was 14.

Now this dream has come true, at 20 years of age, I have to work hard towards my next dream.

I have worked hard for the past 6-1/2 years. I have to move onto my next dream at the age of 20.  I am anxious and worried because I don't know what will happen. But for the kouhai, I have to take the first step towards this.  No details have been decided.

No graduation date has been announced, but it will most likely be at the end of the AKB48 Tokyo Dome Concert since she said it was her goal. The date for that has not been announced either. It was not mentioned if she will still take part in the AKB48 Senbatsu election this year, but she will still be part of the 26th single [Manatsu no Sounds good!]

Update: Akimoto Yasushi finally posted on G+ about this.  You can see the translations on Bilingual48.


I am just at a loss for words. I didn't expect Acchan to graduate yet. She's only 20, and still has a lot of future for her in AKB48. I was expecting one of the older members like Mariko to graduate first because of her age, but definitely not Acchan. I guess it is inevitable, graduation is part and parcel of idol groups. But AKB48 will be very different without Acchan. She might not be my oshi, but she is among the people I respect the most in my life.


Quoting a line from her solo single Flower

一番美しいFlower
(The most beautiful of all flowers)

4. Cari kode <data:post.body/> jika di Blog anda ada banyak kode seperti itu, pilih kode yang kedua.
5. Simpan kode berikut ini setelah kode <data:post.body/> atau jika anda ingin memasang tombol Tweet, Google + dan tombol like Facebook di atas postingan, simpan kodenya sebelum <data:post.body/>

<div style='float:left;width:80px'>
<a class='twitter-share-button' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a>

Oshima Yuko hopes to become a leading actress

On June 21st, AKB48’s Oshima Yuko declared on her blog, “I hope to become a leading actress someday.”
Oshima recently finished up her drama “Kaeru no Oujo-sama” on which she plays the supporting character Mahiru. She commented, “Through challenges and courage, I was able to meet Mahiru who learned the power to change, and she gave me, Oshima Yuko, a lot of motivation as well.” This particular drama involves singing, and Oshima also commented on that as a singer, “In regards to singing, my awareness has changed. To be able to ‘convey’ a message, I first have to be able to feel what the song is saying.”
Oshima also talked about the encouragement lead actress Amami Yuki gave to her, “It was such a privilege [working with Amami Yuki]! I learned so many things from her (>_<.) I haven’t thought much about this until now, but I also want to have a leading role someday and become someone like Amami-san…”
Fans left an assortment of encouraging comments on her blog, “From now on I will support actress Oshima Yuko and AKB’s Oshima Yuko,” “I look forward to seeing Yuko grow from her experience in dramas!” and “I look forward to seeing the great actress Yuko. I’ll be waiting for Yuko-chan’s leading drama (^O^).”
