AISubs v3.7
AKB48 Team A's Maeda Atsuko here.
On March 25th, I announced my graduation at Saitama Super Arena.
As you all know, I'm very clumsy.
At the same time, I can't do many things at the same time.
I'm very angry with myself.
I'm worried about the members and the staff.
I'm worried about the fans who support me like this.
But you're all so kind.
I think I've been spoiling myself all the time.
I started thinking about graduation.
I couldn't tell everyone about it.
But I talked to Takamina and some of the members.
And I got a lot of advice from Akiimoto.
It's not a real story at all.
If I wasn't an AKB member now...
I had a lot of worries about what would remain of me.
Receiving an award for my record...
The other day, my concert at the Tokyo Dome was decided...
Everyone made me sing "Kohaku Utagase"...
Little by little...
The dream we all have been hoping for is coming true...
I want to move on to the next step.
I'm sure you all have a lot of plans for the future...
But for that, first...
Well...
Receiving so many opportunities at AKB...
First of all, I thought I had to work hard.
When I announced it...
In front of you all...
As I said...
I'm very anxious...
I'm sure you're worried about me too...
Will I be able to stand alone... Until now...
The members were there for me, and there was a place for me to go back to AKB...
But...
Now that I've come this far...
Even so...
I want to say it...
That's what I think.
I would be very happy if you could support me.
At this stage, as I have been telling you for a long time,
I haven't decided on a specific graduation date yet.
I'm just discussing the timing with you,
and I would like to postpone the general election of the AKB.
I'm sorry.
I wanted to tell you from my own mouth.
Although it is like this, you gave me an opportunity.
As a member of AKB,
I may not have much left,
but even after graduation,
please support me.
I'm happy if you support me.
And,
most of all,
about AKB48,
please support me a lot.
I'm Maeda Atsuko from AKB48.
