Umeda Ayaka is 23 years old. She belongs to AKB48 Team K.
There is a famous scene between the fans.
Last year, the third election was held.
Kimoto Sayaka
When her name was called, everyone was surprised and expressed their gratitude to the fans.
Among them, there was a member who expressed gratitude to the fans in a different way from the other members.
Umeda Ayaka
The next moment she was called by her own name is Umeda
Umeda Ayaka
The Guts pose with all her heart
She successfully took the center position of the Under Girls and made the happiness explode
However, in Umeda, there was an unfortunate time
And did you know that there was a great past that no one knew about?
I thought I would quit AKB
Without anyone noticing
I thought I would go back and ask
I couldn't tell her to come back
If I were her, I wouldn't come back
I wouldn't be able to come back
That's why I think Ume-chan is really strong
The members' testimony
And the story of Umeda Ayaka's truth written in a precious recording
It was a great support that there was a fan waiting for me
Umeda Ayaka
All the feelings contained in that Guts Pose will now be revealed

Weekly AKB special edition Umeda Ayaka story
1989
Umeda Ayaka was born in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
She was the eldest daughter of the Umeda family.
She has been active since she was a child.
In her home video at that time,
Umeda was playing innocently.
She loves singing and dancing.
She receives her parents' love wholeheartedly.
She spends her childhood in a romantic way.
When she becomes a junior high school student, she has a strong longing for something.
It's nice
I wanted to be on TV
I wanted to see what the world is like
I grew up in the countryside
I didn't see a world that was that colorful
I wanted to see what it would be like on TV
I wanted to see what they were doing
The imagination was spreading out every day
It was getting bigger and bigger
I wanted to be on TV
Umeda immediately takes action
Enter the local dance school
Originally, I love to move my body
It is said that it immediately achieved the center position by expressing the throbbing and throbbing
In addition, there are entertainment agencies and event campaign girls
I applied for the audition that caught my eye
It's not enough to count
I think there are more than 40 or 50 companies
This is how much I was sent every month
There is a recording of the audition
This is how much I was sent every month
Ayaka Umeda, who sang in front of many judges, was 16 years old at the time.
She participated in more than 10 auditions a month at most.
However...
I didn't understand at all.
It's frustrating.
In the midst of all this, she encountered something that seemed to be guided by fate.
There was a photo of Akiyama-san's face.
I thought, I've seen this person on TV before.
I'm a huge fan of TV.
If the person on TV says it's okay,
I think it'll be okay.
There's a strong sense of stability.
I thought I'd send it to you.
That's right. That's the so-called idol group AKB48 that just started performing at that time.
Umeda, who passed the written test
I'm Umeda Yuka, 17 years old. I love dancing, so I'll do my best. Thank you
The final audition held in Tokyo
She tried her best to appeal with her specialty dance to vent her anger
And there are others in this venue
No.11 Yuuko Oshima, 17 years old
Yuuko Oshima, who should be called the face of AKB
I'm Miyazawa Sai, 15 years old
Miyazawa Sai
And
No.1 Sayaka Akimoto
Sayaka Akimoto and many other current center members have participated
I remember, I really remember
Ume-chan remembers the most
Sayaka knows
Only Ume-chan
In the best of the check
It's a ponytail that looks like a really tight costume
It's not a fluffy goth loli, but it looks like a Swiss woman
This is the costume she wore at that time
It really stands out
When I was auditioning, I thought it was a weird costume
I thought it would stand out a little
Swiss people are not aware of it
Although this costume was not the same as the one of Sadaka Kawasawa
Umeda passed the audition
Finally, she made a step towards her dream
Good morning
After passing the audition, the lesson started
A month later, Keikouen
The days of hard work began.
Umeda, a local dancer, immediately showed her talent.
I remember the choreography very quickly.
There was a member who competed with Umeda.
At first, it was a mirror match.
Umeda and Yuko were always in front of the mirror.
If you come early, you can take a picture in front of the mirror.
It's easy to see the teacher's choreography.
I felt like there were two high school students.
I know that Ume-chan used to dance as an experienced dancer, and I used to do it a little bit.
I wanted to do it next to a good dancer and steal the dance of a good dancer.
I wanted to get into myself and go, so I was going from myself.
For some reason, I'm always next to Yuko.
We're both a little bit strong-willed, so we can definitely get in front of the mirror.
I'm the only one who can dance, so Yuko was the one I didn't want to lose to.
We were friends, but we had a lot of sparks.
I was really waiting for something like that.
Please teach me.
The existence of rival Oshima became her motivation, and she was able to endure tough lessons.
April 1st, 2006
Let's do it!
AKB!
Let's do it!
AKB!
Team K, who endured a tough lesson for a month, welcomed the first day of the performance.
The representative song, Sakura no Hanabira Tachi.
Among the five front members, there was Umeda.
The performance was a great success. Team K and Umeda were able to have the best start as idols.
The chase continued.
Orishimo AKB has been active for a year.
The major debut single, I wanted to meet you, finally released, ranked 10th on the Oricon chart.
As a member of Team K, Umeda made her first selection entry.
Umeda had a tragic experience.
It was during a lesson one day.
It hurt.
I thought it would be better if I put a band-aid.
I put a band-aid and went to bed that day.
I couldn't get better the next day.
It lasted for about three days.
I took her to the hospital.
I had her examined.
The results of the examination.
From the doctor's point of view.
If you keep working out like this, it won't be strange if you break at any time.
I thought it was dangerous.
I remember my eyes getting dark.
Umeda's left leg had a fracture.
It's not strange to have a fracture at any time.
Absolute safety was given.
However.
Umeda kept standing on stage Umeda kept standing on stage
If I don't do it, I won't be in my position, and I won't be able to take the chance, and I'm sorry for my father and mother.
I felt happy when I was dancing.
But it's getting worse day by day, doctors say
The conclusion made by the manager who said that it would take a considerable amount of time to reach the mansion
I was told to go home once and do proper rehabilitation and then come back.
At the time, I didn't know how long it would take to heal.
I thought I might never be able to return to this stage.
The time when lectures by important members were becoming standard
The worst possible scenario
When I think that when I am gone, a new child will come in and fill the void.
I thought that they would listen without anyone noticing
I'm starting to feel like I probably won't come back
When Ume-chan's standing position disappeared
I really thought it wasn't 15 people
It was a shock for me
At that time, everyone was doing things together, and everyone was working as a team, so it was strong.
I thought you wouldn't like it if you went alone
Like the locker I used at the time
The costume-related things that I've been lent until now
clean in the locker
put it away and put that alone and put the key in it too
It's all my traces, or rather, I removed everything and went home.
Umeda moved to his parents' house in Fukuoka halfway through his ambition
Feelings with no place to turn turned into irritation
Eat a lot and cheer yourself up
I don't know anything about mothers, so don't talk to me.
I don't care.
I was quite naive.
I wondered why I was the one who got hurt.
My dad, mom, grandpa, and grandma hit me every time they hit me.
At that time, I was really sorry.
One day...
When AKB48 first appeared on TV, my dad said,
AKB48 is on TV!
What caught his attention was...
The members were singing songs that I didn't know.
I was AKB48, but I was watching a different AKB48.
At that time, I felt very miserable.
I didn't have the will to go to rehab.
At that time, a person visited Umeda.
Hi, Ayaka.
My grandfather lives near my house.
He came to pick me up.
He said, let's go together.
He said, I don't want to go.
He said, but I have to go.
He took me out.
When I was in rehab, I didn't go to the hospital, so I went to a nearby bookstore and waited for him, and when I went home, he came home with me.
Grandfather and grandmother did a lot for me.
With the support of his family, his desire for rehab began to grow little by little.
There are even more things that give him courage.
When I was on vacation, I went to Tokyo for a handshake event.
The fans came to the handshake event, and I was really happy to hear that they were waiting for me.
I was really happy to hear that they were waiting for me.
My parents were there, but I was really happy to hear the fans' words.
This incident gave Umeda a sense of gratitude.
After all, I felt that I had to work hard and return to Tokyo so that I could repay her kindness.
She will definitely return and repay her kindness.
With that in mind, she endured the hard rehabilitation.
And...
A year and a half has passed since her departure, in the spring of 2008.
At last, the time has come.
Team K's first day at Force Concert.
There, for the first time in a year and a half, Umeda steps on the stage.
And even more...
Umeda showed a sharp dance that does not make you feel that you are injured.
Umeda expressed the happiness of being able to return.
I'm from Koka Prefecture.
I love dance
You love dance
Salary dance
Umeda was able to return home safely.
I thought it was really fun and I was nervous, but the moment I got up, I felt really good.
It's been a year and a half since I've done this.
Blanco, blanco, blanco, right?
I was very happy with the fans' reactions.
I was glad that I could do my best.
I thought that the stage that I could finally go on had such a sense of achievement.
It was so much fun.
It's been a while since I've danced without feeling so much pain.
I thought I really liked dancing.
And on the stage, after Umeda was done, Oshima was...
I was really happy to be able to dance with Ume- chan since I became a member of Team K.
Thank you for your hard work.
When I'm close to her, she smiles.
She's like, I'm here, I'm here.
I can't even realize that I was taking a break.
She talked to me normally, and she gave me a sense of air that I've never felt before.
It was a great help to me.
After a year and a half of hard work, Umeda miraculously came back to life.
After that, Umeda continued her journey.
I couldn't believe it.
Three years. Three years of darkness. It's been three years. It's been three dark years.
Yes, actually, Ume, the recovery didn't go well. Yes, in fact, Umeda's recovery didn't go well.
In 2009, the year AKB hit, Umeda's own media exposure was very low. The year when AKB was a hit in 2009, Umeda's media exposure was very low.
The result of the first general election?
Tengai. Out of the country.
Before her injury, she was the center of the team.
She also has the title of a young girl and is far from the center.
But unexpectedly, Umeda was positive.
I thought that I had to do what was in front of me properly.
I thought that if I had a chance in the future, I would not be able to do it.
I decided to do it without losing my feelings.
I tried as hard as I could to repay the favor.
ーFamily, friends, and most of all, the repayment of the favor to the fans are not over yet.ー
ーThe order of chance is comingー
SDN48, which all members will graduate at the end of March
The last single, Congratulations, was released on March 7th
10 years later, the music video is a drama-like work
Ayaka Umeda
That was in January, 2011
I think it was on the 10th of January
There was a location at the office
I was told to come at about 12 o'clock
I was waiting at the lobby
Mr. Togasaki, the president, and some of the staff came in
I wondered if I had done something
Mr. Togasaki
Today, I called Ume-chan
Isn't there a lot of cameras?
Eh? Isn't it a lot?
What is this?
I called you because I have an important announcement today
Yes
What is it? What is it?
I have a headache
This time, as a new Diva
April 27th
I decided to debut from APEX
Eh?
Wow!
Awesome!
I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm sure the fans will be happy too.
Amazing!
We did it!
Congratulations!
Thank you for coming back!
Dance and Vocal Unit Diva
Umeda has become a great opportunity for the light to shine.
And on that day, 5 months later.
The 22nd Umeda Ayaka.
I felt really good.
I was able to experience this, and I really thank the fans for letting me experience it.
I was really happy.
I was very happy to see Ume-chan's happy face
The Guts pose that she showed that day
It was filled with gratitude for all people
I took a break for a year and a half, and it looks like there's a lot of blanks, but for me, it was a year and a half in which I realized the importance of my family and the importance of my fans.
I'm really glad that it happened now.
