It's almost my 12th anniversary.
It's my 12th anniversary on March 29th.
I think there were 16 of us standing here.
We stood here and said goodbye to the audience.
Everyone was standing there, and I was the leader.
Bye bye!
I was already in this room.
I didn't know.
Bye bye!
I fell in love with Morning Musume when I was in elementary school.
I'm No.38, Okane Takayanagi. I'm 17 years old. Nice to meet you.
The reason why I wanted to join SKE was that it was a refreshing, energetic, sports idol group.
When I saw SKE's smile, I thought,
If it's this group, I think I can overturn the image of idols until now.
When I made the first engine, it was the first time I had to do something with K2.
I want to make K2 a park that can be called Tomi Park.
At K2, my manager told me that I should look around and lead the team.
I was happy to hear that.
Akane Takayana!
When I stood on this stage today, there was something I really wanted to say.
Mr. Akimoto!
Please let us perform!
Akane Takayana!
I'm happy that my seniors are cheering for me.
I want to sing my own song.
I realized that there are so many people who mean a lot to me.
I'm grateful to my juniors who supported me.
I want everyone to know that SKE exists because everyone is here.
I want the members and the fans to know that.
I, Akane Takayanagi, have decided to graduate from SKE48.
My dream has always been to be on the graduation stage,
so I want everyone to see me as an idol.
Originally, I was supposed to have a graduation concert now.
When I came here, I was so overwhelmed by reality that I couldn't graduate here.
I don't know when it will be now, but I don't know, so I'm going to give it to Toho, but I'm thinking positively so that it won't happen.
When I remember someday, it's been a long time, but I'll do my best to meet the end that I can think of as a good life at SKE, including that period.
When I couldn't see you, I realized again how important it is to be with each other.
I want to leave the message that idols are the best.
Even if I could do a little bit of theater performances and events for a year, I couldn't do it as I thought, and I'm sure there are a lot of things I'm worried about.
I want you to think that you like idols again.
I think so.
Idols make people happy, and they have to be happy themselves.
