I'm Tomomi Itano from AKB48 Team K.
Mmm​
It was a sudden announcement, but I, Tomomi Itano, will graduate from AKB48.
In this documentary interview, I talked about last year's AKB48, the scandals of the members, the future of AKB48, and the graduation of Atsuko last year.
In this interview, I decided to announce my feelings for graduation.
I have little time left, but I want to make a lot of memories with the members and fans and do my best for the rest of my time.
Thank you.
Minami Takahashi, Mayu Watanabe, Mariko Shinoda, Haruna Kojima, Rie Kitahara, Yui Yokoyama, Haruka Shimazaki, Anna Iriyama, Rina Kawaii, Rena Kato, Ayaka Kikuchi, and Eiki Takahashi, who took the megaphone for this film.
Thank you very much.
Good evening, everyone. This is AKB48.
Well, we were really surprised, too.
We've been working together for a long time, so I'm honestly lonely.
Last year, Atsuko graduated, and I thought,
Oh, this year is Tomochin.
But it's the path she chose.
It's up to me to make the final decision.
If she says she's going to walk forward, I'd like to push her back with everyone.
We're going to continue to lead the group.
Thank you.
Well, we've been together since the beginning, so it's very lonely to graduate.
I've been there since the beginning, so I sometimes think about graduating.
I think it's really cool that Tomochin made that decision with a lot of courage.
I want to continue to support her as a friend who has worked hard with her.
Thank you, NyanNyan.
I've heard that many times from her.
I realized that such a day would come sooner or later.
I think the members knew that such a day would come.
It's lonely.
But for us, Tomochin, Atsuko, and everyone else,
we have to do our best as AKB.
There were a lot of happy and sad things after watching this movie.
There were also a lot of goodbyes.
But when I saw everyone walking forward, I felt like I couldn't lose to them.
So in 2013, as AKB48 and as SKE48, I wanted to walk forward firmly.
Thank you.
It's different from before. I joined a new team.
I was able to work with a lot of first-generation seniors.
I want to make it a year where I can be a completely different me.
Thank you.
There are a lot of tears in this movie, but when I look back at the emotions at that time and afterwards,
I wonder if I can take it in a different way for myself and the other members.
I think I was able to grow a little by watching this movie.
Thank you.
It was the biggest thing that Team 4 was disbanded.
It's strange to say that because Team 4 was disbanded.
But now that I'm in Team A, I'm able to interact with a lot of seniors.
I'm able to learn a lot about my seniors in Team A.
I want to continue to grow what I learned.
After watching this movie, I felt the presence of my seniors even more.
Thank you.
As Ms. Itano just announced her graduation, I want to be a person who can leave it to others with confidence.
There were a lot of things last year, and as everyone said, it's the same with Team 4, but I became a new Team B and learned a lot from now on. As more and more people graduate, I realized that young people have to work hard, so I will continue to do my best with the intention of leaving my seniors.
As an individual, I think it was a year when I was able to step up in various ways, such as winning the rock- paper-scissors competition.
I realized again that last year was a year when a lot of things happened.
Last year, I started to think about the group in particular, but in order for AKB48 to grow even more in the future, there are more and more juniors these days.
I want to think about the group one by one with the members and work together.
I don't think this movie uses scandals.
I think it's important to have the courage to choose a path through various events.
I think it's a very beautiful thing, and that's what I wanted to talk about in the film.
Recently, we have been in a situation where it is very difficult for us to live in Japan or in the world.
In such a situation, there are many times when individuals and society have to face each other.
Through this film, I would like you to see how the members here face each other in the world and work together with courage.
I think it will be a great reference for us to live in the future.
I would like you to watch my last presentation of this film.
In this film, all the members are worried and supported by the fans.
The members are crying a lot, so please cry a lot through this film.
Let's look at the future together with us after the tears.
I haven't set a date for graduation yet, but I'll let you know when it comes out.
I want to spend the rest of my time with everyone.
I will do my best as a first-generation student.
Minami Takahashi, please.
Thank you all for coming today.
I am very happy that the third documentary film will be released today.
No matter how fun or hard the day is, there is always an end.
There will definitely be a day to welcome the next morning.
No matter how many tears you shed, if there is something to gain in the future,
I will do my best to look forward to the future.
If you are interested in this movie, even if you are not interested in Kevin, I would be happy if you could watch it once.
Thank you very much for today.
Thank you very much.
That's all for the stage greetings.
Please give a big round of applause to the members.
