☆Encore☆

Maeda Atsuko appeared in front of audiences in the white dress designed by Kayano Shinobu
After finished fitting the costume for her, and sent her off to the Stage, Kayano Shinobu fell on her knee, as she burst into tears. She was the first one who started crying in the whole venue.

Maeda: “I’d been a shy girl since my childhood. I was a kid who was hiding behind my mom when someone initiated a conversation with me.”
Maeda: “But that shy girl is now standing in front of 48,000 of audiences. I’m incredibly happy. Honestly, I’m feeling lonely, too, enormously. But, this is the path I have decided to choose. So, I am ready to move on from here.”
Maeda: “Everyone, who’ve supported me, cheered for me, chants and yells for me…. Thank you so much.”

Deep bow to the audiences. “Acchan” call echoed throughout the Dome, again.

Maeda: “ Please keep supporting AKB48 from now on, too. I’m such a lucky person to have so many people give me a warm supportive push on her back. For the past 6 years, AKB48 has been part of who I truly am. For a final, please let me sing this song.”

☆MC Members saying their farewells to Acchan☆

Itano: “I wanted her not to graduate. I really wished I could persuade her not to leave… But….. now I want to say “Wait for us catching up with you some day” to Acchan as she now goes beyond AKB.”
Shinoda: “We have a duty to grow our juniors.”
Kojiharu: “Now that Acchan crossed Yume no Kawa (River of Dream). So, I wonder if she can still join our job-well-done party?”
