News clips re: Kawaei's Graduation
Kawaei ( presumably talking about the reason of her graduation )
( 00:00~ )
” ..and then there was that incident last year, that made me unable to attend Handshake events… ”
( 00:22~ )
” As someone who is in AKB48, ‘Handshake Event’ is an event that should be the utmost importance. But I couldn’t even attend handshake events… and from even now on, I don’t think that I will ever be able to. I wondered what I should do…
The people around me always said ‘You shouldn’t think about it too much‘, but I can’t help but always keep worrying / thinking about it…
Also, in spite of everything, at the moment I really want to do the things that I personally WANT to do, and push myself as hard as I can while doing so.
I really love acting, and I was given the opportunity to act in dramas… ”
( the newsclip got cut off here, but the announcer added that “from now on, she will be trying her luck in the path of being an actress“ )
Reactions to Kawaei's graduation announcement
Kawaei graduates.
I’m sure this surprised a lot of people, but please rest assured and know that Kawaei decided this after a long period of thinking.
Both of us are chasing our dreams, we wouldn’t have met each other if we didn’t get into AKB.
It’s exactly because she’s a person that I love and treasure so much, I wish to be able to support her from now on.
I was so nervous even before the concert started (lol)
