Sayaka is one of those 16 girls going to Singapore.*sigh* When these kinda news come up I always feel like I'll never have a chance to see my oshis irl :c
Akimoto Sayaka has announced on her blog that she will not be participating in senbatsu election and that she will graduate from AKB48.Quote私、秋元才加は今回の選抜総選挙には出馬せず、AKB48を卒業します。Her blog entry here: http://ameblo.jp/akimotoo0726/entry-11506523873.htmlAlthough I knew this was going to happen sooner or later, it is still very sad news as Sayaka was one of the members who made AKB48 interesting for me when I had just started paying attention to the group.However, it is also good for her to graduate as her peak in AKB48 is over and she has already carved out a path for herself in the entertainment industry with all the solo variety/drama/musical jobs she's been getting.All the best to her and I sincerely thank her for all the work she has done in building AKB48 and leading the juniors. She was a great leader and she still is even though she doesn't hold the Captain title anymore.Thank you, Sayaka-san!

Sayaka Akimoto is a top member in so many areas:singing, comedy, willingly being the brunt of the jokes, and a fine captain,who will always have the respect of not just many fans, but many AKB48 members:"Because I'm captain, I'll protect my members"akb funny moment : キャプテンだから・・・ {With thanks to theSaeYuki003}
