[NEWS] Tomomi Itano graduating this year

[sb]

Just saw it at Tokyohive.

REACTION!

[boinsie]

I THOUGHT SHE'D GRADUATED YEARS AGO!

[Zunu]

I used to dig her but that sneery hawt shtick got old fast. So I don't really care.

[Moh]

I was expecting this since she went ~solo~.

[boinsie]

Since I don't keep up with AKB properly,I think I really HAD thought that she graduated when she went solo. Oops, my bad.
Any rate, I definitely didn't care to much for her and her pouty face, so no skin off my nose.

Same, I think she'll fair well solo. At least initially.

[Pavlova]

Meh, I'm sad, I sort of liked her, and also my boyfriend was a fan so I'm sad for him.

I'm just sad at seeing more and more original team A members left. After this, only 4 members (if you count Mariko, who is really not THAT original since she was added later) will be left.. and that's counting Miichan too, who since she was demoted.. yeah basically, it feels like only KojiHaru and Takamina will be left. It hurts a bit. I've been following AKB48 since Skirt, Hirari, so as much as I like some newer girls, every graduation hurts, especially grads for girls who joined before 2009. And even more for gen 1-2-3 girls.

;_;

[Pavlova]

Graduation date confirmed for August 27 (graduation ceremony on August 25th at the Tokyo Dome concert).

[Daisuki Daiiyo]

Wow, so we all knew it would happen eventually, but man. Mariko, Sayaka and Tomochin all in the same year?

[Pavlova]

All in the same month, pretty much.
