Rena(Forever・ω・and ever)
There was Riechan’s last Stage yesterday.
Her concurrent position was cancelled after not even a year passed since it was announced in the Tokyo Dome.
To be honest, having seen how she gave her all in order to fire SKE48 up, it’s really such a pity that she’s getting separated from us.
However, she’s been working no matter how much busy she was and I happened to be seriously worried that she might’ve collapsed anytime soon!
I do feel sad and lonely but I now feel like this announcement had to be made.
For the last Stage, as a surprise, we all gave her a big chocolate cake and showed her a videoclip.
We did our best to give her the present.
In the end we sang [Aozora no soba ni ite]
And the part of the lyrics that says “Goodbye is a watchword”
echoed so much inside my heart that I was really happy we could sing that song.
In the very end we took a pic together with the members who came to watch the Stage.
Everyone loves Riechan!
Thank you, Riechan.
And don’t forget; from now on too, you’ll forever be part of SKE

Suda Akari*SKE48’s Kitasan(・⌒+)☆ミ
During today’s Team S’ Stage
we held Kitahara Rie-san’s farewell ceremony!
She kindly came in a concurrent position with AKB48,
and I’ve had the opportunity to
spend time with her both as part of
Team S and Team KII.
Even though Kitasan
was in such a onerous position - the concurrent one -
she never ever complained
and she always did her very best.
But even more than that,
she was so kind to love SKE48…
She’s such a wonderful person.★
I believe that the reason why
everyone got to like Kitasan
is all in the time we could spend together.
We stood together on the stage of the new theatre
for the shootings of Choko no Dorei’s MV…
And the time in which she’s been
shedding sweat on stage as a member of SKE48
will never disappear.
From now on I’ll keep improving on that stage
so that one day, I’ll be able to through out my chest
and meet Kitasan again… *
You’ll forever be a precious comrade!
Thank you for everything, Kitasan!
Also,
I’d like if SKE48 would keep being
able to create this kind of wonderful bond
also with Ooba Mina-chan,
who’s going to come in a concurrent position★

We performed a Team S’ Stage today,
and it was the last one for Kitahara-san!!!
Kitahara-san, who’s been doing her very best for SKE48’s sake
ever since her concurrent position in was decided…
Really, the more I got to know her,
the more I got to like her.
She’s kind, funny,
really a wonderful senior!
Kitahara-san, I love you!!!
Even if the concurrent position in the group ended,
Kitahara-san will be forever part of SKE48!
Thank you so much!!!

Rena(So ma・ω・ny things)
It’s Rena(・ω・)
Today we had a hand-shake event in Nagoya’s Port Messe Nagoya!
I thought it had passed a while since I last wore this outfit but I actually wore it the other day in the Budoukan lol
These past few days were really lively so it felt like a lot passed already.
Anyway today a lot - really a lot - of people came to see me!!
So much that when I first reached my lane I got startled!!!
Also since it was during the Golden week long holiday, a lot of parents with children could come, not to mention people coming from far away!
Everyone, thank you so much!
I’m glad to know so many people wants to meet me.
A lot of fans of members of the new Team E came to me saying “We count on you!” or “Let’s do our best!”
That made me really happy!
I’d like to work hard in order to receive support not only as a single member but also as a team, at the same time.
Still, the most important thing is to make you smile.
Even just seeing the people who come shaking my hand and talk to me smiling after that is enough to make me happy.
So tomorrow as well I’ll definitely go enjoy myself!
Now going a bit back in time with another topic…
Let’s talk about yesterday’s Seifuku no me Stage in TDC Hall!
Thanks to everyone who came!
It was the first and last touring Stage with these members.
It was also the first and left Tokyo Stage with us for Riechan.
She was talking about how nervous she was to have the people from Tokyo to watch SKE’s Stage.
I had so so much fun during the Stage and as I noticed how fun I was having, every time my eyes would meet some other members’ I couldn’t avoid thinking “I guess the times it’s going to happen again could be counted…” and I suddenly got sad…so at the end of the Stage I was sobbing a bit…
Probably it’s because, I passed from having my feelings focused on E to spend these days completely thinking about S…so before I could realize it, I found myself being just as sad as the time I was separated from them…so once again I could feel how much I love Team S.
This Stage is just like a precious friend for me, so I’ll treasure it until the very end.

I’ve taken part in a hand-shake event for Eien Pressure today.
Thanks to everyone who came.
Many people also had the chance to come and watch the Gaishi Concert, so I received opinions on that and I talked a lot about the Teams re-formaton.
I also had fans of the graduated members come to me to convey their gratitude.
I really love this wonderful side of SKE’s fans.
As for the re-formation, I had both people encouraging me about my new position as a leader, and also others honestly expressing their disappointment.
But even though the Team will change, I’ll still be me.
No matter the Team, I intend to have fun and work hard being myself.
I believe there are also members being as astonished as the fans about changing Teams after the re-formation.
I myself am still formally a Team S member, but I’m thinking about trying to make my way into Team E ans start to love it.
That’s why I made a decision.
I’ll change the color of the penlights used to cheer on me into green, Team E’s color.
Maybe someone could think that me doing this means that I already emotionally took my distance from Team S but, of course, that’s not true.
Also, I don’t know how many more Stages I’ll be able to perform as an S member, but I intend to properly treasure those moments.
It’s not like I’m washing my hands of this matter, I just want you to know that I seruously want the New Team E to become a great Team.
I wonder if the members who have a concurrent position, being part of 2 Teams both important for them, feel this same way…
In any case, SKE is important for me.
No matter how everyone is part of a Team, this doesn’t change that we’re all part of SKE!
Hm…I wonder if I lost the point of the question…

I came across this post by chance and…well, it touched me in a very peculiar way.
We all know how much of a poet and deep person Masana is, but this post kinda makes me think about lots of things…
1. April 18
Believing in a future
that can’t promise anything,
everyday
we
cried,
laughed,
sweat,
shed tears,
raised our voices,
averted our gazes,
then looked at each other again
with an embarassed grin.
Hearing the sound
of footsteps chasing after us,
we
got surpassed
and felt the breeze on our cheeks.
Before we knew it,
the figures seen from the back who kept incresing,
made us lose sight of
the trust we had in the search for the future.
When this night will be over,
I’m sure we’ll be able to learn
once again
a new way of searching for our future.
So much
gratitude,
so many
memories.
Something that won’t disappear;
Us, from that summer day.
The last stage
is beginning.

Rena(Nakama・ω・no Uta)
Today we performed the last stage for Kuuchan, Shiitan, Miichan and Kanachan.
So many thanks to everyone who supported us.
I perceived today’s Stage as the shorter one among all the Stages performed until now.
As soon as I notice it we already were at the Encore and I kept thinking all the time that I didn’t want it to end.
No matter what it is about, putting the word “The End” to something feels sad and lonely.
Miichan stood on the stage with all her energy and, as usual, was very lively.
Miichan’s dance is so powerful I can perceive the breeze her moves generate so, no matter where I am, I get it.
And her feelings were so passionate.。
I wonder if she’s so well liked by the junior exactly because they can feel her passion…
I kinda feel like she could come again in SKE as a dance teacher!
I think Kanachan, who got promoted to Team S from being a kenkyuusei, and was able to join the senbatsu, really worked hard.
Last year, due to her leg injury, we weren’t able to stand together on Gaishi Hall’s Stage.
A year is not much time, but about that same stage this year I can’t help to think about how much things can change in such a short time.
Still, Kanachan has always been SKE’s cute mascot.
Shiitan’s the member I should be more thankful to…
Every time I couldn’t appear on stage, she would perform in my position.
When, after several months, I appeared on stage again, with Shiitan going back to her own position after just as much time, I could be no match for her incredible adaptation ability.
Even Kareha no Station…I think Shiitan might’ve actually sang it more times than I have…
That’s why I don’t think of it as my song, but as mine and Shiitan’s song.
As for Kuuchan, I think she really turned into an adult in these 4 years.
When I was feeling down, I’ve been saved so many times by her cheerful smile.
Kuuchan did her best in the Gaishi Hall concert and during the Stage, saying she wanted to have her fans looking at her Idol self until the very end.
And I think that, until the very end, Kuuchan has been the best Idol ever.
Conflicting, laughing, crying…we shared lots of emotions…
When asked what I like about Team S, I can proudly say:
I love everything about it.
Kuuchan , Shiitan, Miichan, Kanachan,
congratulations on your graduation.
And thank you, thank you so much.

☆SKE48★KUMI
Greetings, it’s Yagami Kumi!(((*・ω・)ノ~♪
Everyone, thanks for having supported me until now!
Joining SKE was a very important thing for me and I’m sure I won’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for SKE.
If I hadn’t joined SKE, I’m sure I’d be more shy, I wouldn’t laugh so much and I’d be totally different from how I am right now.
I’ve had the opportunity to go through wonderful experiences until now.
I met a lot of people, I’ve been loved, I received my own units and I even had the pleasure to rank in the general elections.
I’ve gone through so many experiences I can’t even count them all.
There are lots of things I could only do thanks to you and I really love all the fans who raised me up, the staff and the members.
Now I’ll start a journey in order to grow more and more, so keeping your support into my heart, I’ll go doing my very best!!
I’ve spent the best Idol life ever!
I’ll absolutely never forget it!(`・ω・´)
Every single day was sparkling!
Everyone…I looooove you a whoooooole lot!!!

Hiramatsu Kanako’s Last Official Blog Entry - 18\04\2013
Graduation
Today, my very last
Stage ended.
I, who used to be terrible at dancing,
started as a kenkyuusei and,
ever since that day, up until now,
I’ve kept troubling and
searching for something
during Stages.
Thinking things like…
“Maybe I’m not shining on stage…” or
“I wonder if someone’s eyes stop on me”
However, one day I realized something.
That no matter where you are on the stage
there will always be at least one person looking at you.
And that that’s the best way to have
people see your growth..
After that, the theatre performances
became a precious occasion
I was given just like all the others.
And that didn’t change
even after the new theatre was built,
no matter how many graduating members we sent off,
or how much sweat or tears we shed.
And today I graduated from SKE48
right there in my home, the theatre stage.
During today’s stage
I was able to perform the song
I’ve always loved and yerned for the most;
Yokaze no Shiwaza!
I was worried of making mistakes
but I really sang it with all my heart.
Also,
finally I was able to be
happy about Omoide Ijou,
the unit I’ve always had a complex for.
The Omoide Ijou I got
center of in the Gaishi Hall concert
and the original Omoide Ijou,
with me feeling so many pressure
about my positon.
They both became
moments that overcame memories. (*Omoide Ijou\More than memories)
I’m happy I was part of Omoide Ijou!!☆
And I’m happy I got to dance it
with Jurina and Yukko!!
And…
…that member
with whom I aways met eyes
in some particular moments.
Today, thinking it was the last time
I couldn’t avoid crying,
but I’m sure that, in each other’s hearts,
our eyes will keep meeting
from now on too.
Lastly…
To all my fans…
Thank you so much for having made me your only one,
for having found me among all those members
for about 4 years and a half
even though I’ve never been outstanding or anything like that…
My smiles, tears, worries
could only exist because you’ve been there.
You were my all
and were connected to the meaning of it all.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart
for all the love you’ve given me.\(^o^)/!!!!
I’ll never ever forget
about you!
Please keep being the warm and kind
people you are.♪
Well then…
Now I’ll go making my dreams come true.
See you again☆

Kanachan,
congratulations on your graduation.
I love a lot
the so cute
and kind Kanachan.
The more time
we spent together
the more we were
able to get close…
I’ve asked you advices
for a lot of things, haven’t I?
As we kept talking,
we discovered how similar the things we
think, feel and like are,
so the more I got to know you
the more I got to like you.
We went to the cinema together,
and we even went to each other’s houses, so,
let’s keep doing a lot of things together from now on too, okay?
Thanks for having cared
so much about me.
Thanks for having said
weird jokes for me when I
was crying during the Gaishi Hall concert. (lol)
I really love this Kanachan
to the utmost!
Congratulations on your graduation.
I love you.

To Kuuchan (・∀・>)
Kuuchan,
congratulations on your graduation.
Me and Kuuchan
have been called in various ways;
the BakaCombi,
the Ookami to Pride Combi…
Sometimes we got even just told
“Hey, you 2 idiots, come here!”,
haven’t we?
When I got promoted to Team S
and got the chance to perform Ookami to Pride,
I was filled with happiness but
also with insecurity, not knowing
if I would be accepted or not.
Still, being with Kuuchan,
who were sometimes flurried
and some other times very quiet,
was so exhausting I couldn’t
even think about those things anymore…
You’ve been a senior
whose actions were always
unpredictable….
I was really, really happy when,
suddenly, all the fans started
saying things like
“I love Kuuchan and Yuria’s
Ookami to Pride”
I’m the kind of person who
never feels satisfied with what she does,
so I’ve always admired Kuuchan,
who was able to do
everything in such a cool way.
I think Kuuchan
is a genius..
(Well, leaving aside her brains…) lol
So, after your graduation,
please try all the things you want
to your heart’s content
and then come back!
I’ll be always waiting for you!!
I’ve really loved Kuuchan,
who kept going her own way all the time!!
Congratulations on your graduation.
I love you.

Shiitan-san,
congratulations on your graduaiton.
Before I could notice it
Shitan-san turned from the
cool and quiet girl she looked like
to a person just as dangerous
as the sexual harassers Aki-san and Katsuo-san (lol)
It’s really fun to talk with her
and being together was always very enjoyable.
For some reason even the fact that she
made me wring clothes became a good memory (lol)
I was really happy that,
after my impression of her changed,
we started to talk lots on the
train home or in the backstage…
When I told her that
OgiYuri will go to Hawaii, she said:
「Hey, then
go with Shiitan too!!」
I loved the Shiitan who said
that while grinning.
Yeah, let’s go on a trip in Hawaii,
OgiYuri with Shiitan, okay?!
Please keep being a fashion leader!
And wring clothes for me
next time we meet, okay? lol
Congratulations on your graduation.
I love you.
