last night, Tokyo Dome was literally sea of green, the team K’s theme color. It’s one of the miracles that AKB48 and it’s fans brought to this earth. This time it was made by mere 100 of Akimoto Sayaka Oshi, who arranged the encore and these tens of thousands of glow sticks.

It’s moving. This re-assured me strong bond between fans and members that lies beneath AKB48. My heartfelt thank you to them.

They proved that what she has been doing over the years is worth it after all.

Yuko: That “Sayaka” call was the biggest encore chant I’ve ever experienced. She’d been sort of maverick and broaden horizon for 48G.

I’d never imagined one day she would graduate at Tokyo Dome. Never heard “Sayaka” chant that big either

It was great to hear fans greatest chant for Sayaka, As I was feeling so happy for her to have such a warm graduation concert with this many people, tears were flowing out.
