Both Rumi and Natsumi Hirajima are leaving AKB

[SomethingWild]

I, Yonezawa Rumi, will hereby resign from AKB48 as of today.

I'm sorry this is such a sudden announcement.

To everyone who supported me, I'm both full of thankfulness and the feeling that this was inexcusable.

Thank you for these 5 years.
I was always supported during this time.

I'll continue my activities solo from now on.

I'm terribly sorry that I caused trouble for the members, the fans, and for AKB48. I'm really sorry.

Not sure what to say. A part of me thinks she wanted to get caught and move on with her own life. She doesn't get to do anything in AKB48 anyway.

Anyway, still sad to see something go down like this.

I wonder if she performed at all in SGP? I hope the fans won't rage at her or something stupid like that.

[Datalanche]

Not sure what to say. A part of me thinks she wanted to get caught and move on with her own life. She doesn't get to do anything in AKB48 anyway.

I'm not sure if I think she wanted to get caught, but with the rapid speed of which this occurred and a decision made, I think that's the decision she made. She seems to want to continue on her own, and this'll give her more time to pursue other things. Shitty attempt at a positive spin there. xD

Anyway, still sad to see something go down like this.

Quite so. I know she didn't really get much to do in AKB48 but I liked her very much. Super pretty, cute smile, part of the original Team B... I will miss her.

[jafeijai]

It's Takahashi Minami
I thought I should write about this,
so please let me write what I'm feeling now.
I'm sorry if it's hard to understand through text.

Members that have worked hard together as part of AKB48 for 6 years, 5 years time are (leaving) like this..
My chest tightens up.

I think all the fans are probably feeling the same way.

I think how our ways of thinking and how we feel about it are different.
Those who feel saddened, lonely.
Those who feel anger.
Those who will continue to support them after they leave.

I was felt lonely; saddened.

If it were a normal girl,
it might be just a normal thing.
But we are part of AKB48;
that truth won't change, nor can it change.

But working hard on stage, them working hard for 6 years, 5 years time until now is also the truth.


We are nakama* even if we are apart.

I will support these two who will walk out on a new path.


As captain, what can I do from them?

Even though I have no answer now,

I will walk on this path together with my nakama.*

TL Notes:
* - nakama is akin to a close work colleague

Good evening everyone
Good evening everyone.

Nacchan and Yonechan have graduated from AKB.

Nacchan talked about the Team A auditions when my audition, and was a really nice girl.

That's why I was really happy when we became together in Team B.
Since becoming Team B, there have been more chances to work together,
above anything else, Team B is what it is because Nacchan was there.
She always looked around, gave her opinion and got angry.*

There was also the fact that she was senior to everyone, so she led Team B together with Captain.


So it's a shocking truth to me.

At yesterday's double performance,**
there's this unit song called Locker Room Boy; (among other reasons) that song is a unit with Nacchan, so somehow the lyrics hit me then, and I was about to burst into tears.

But, remembering a Nacchan that smiled during anything, I was able to tell myself that this wasn't the place to let my tears fall.

It's saddening to think that I won't be able to perform with Nacchan anymore,
Nacchan is also moving forward, so I can't keep moping over it.

She may have left the place called AKB, but everyone in Team B loves Nacchan, and wants to support Nacchan!!

I am happy to have met Nacchan.

For always watching over the theater.
For being Team B's support.


I may have been in different teams than Yonechan,
but her love for AKB was alwyas conveyed to me.


I may not be able to do anything for Nacchan or Yonechan;
I may only be able to listen to their stories if something happens,
but push comes to shove, I want to be there for them.



Since I didn't know what to write, the blog update ended up late..

But my feelings now are to support them both.
Being nakama*** as well as rivals from now on;
this hasn't changed.


Please let me continue blogging in my own way.

TL Notes:
* - Kana means Nacchan got angry as someone watching out for you would
** - meaning there were two stage performances that day at the theater
*** - see TL Notes for Takamina's entry above

It's been a while
I'm sorry for it being so late.

Hirajima Natsumi-chan of the same team.
As well as Yonezawa Rumi of the same generation.
About the fact that their leaving AKB and going their own ways,

Naturally, I'm quite saddened.

This is, of course, because they are both nakama* that have worked hard together with me for many years, as well as nakama* that have supported one another.**

No matter how much I think about it, no matter how many days pass, I think this lonely feeling won't fully disappear.

It must be the same as everyone (the readers), or so I believe.

Personaly, I will continue to support these two important nakama* from now on.
These are my never-changing feelings.


And as a team's captain,
being able to point out wrongs, being able to set an example;
to be able to do this, I will do my best everyday.

From now on, please watch over us.

Kashiwagi Yuki

TL Notes:
* - see TL Notes for Takamina's entry above
** - support between Yukirin and Yonechan/Nacchan

Yonezawa's speech from the handshake event today:

I am really sorry to have caused troubles for many people. There are a lot of things that I want to say to everyone but I don’t know where to start, and even though I can’t put them into words, now I’m really…
Just, I can do activities as AKB48 until now is all because of fans.
As someone who has violated the rule of AKB48, I don’t think I deserve the right to speak now, but all the things that I’ve done until now was really amazing. This is true.
There were some reports that differ from reality, but it’s not true that I tried to turn the doubt to other members or SKE members.
I’m really thankful for members and staffs who said that they will keep supporting me even after I leave AKB. I haven’t decide what I will do after this, but I still want to be someone who deserve to be supported.
Perhaps I can’t convey everything that I wanted to say, but from now on please support AKB48.

This could well be my last tribute to miss Yonezawa Rumi..


Blog entry from 120205

[To Everyone]

It's been a while

I'm sorry I can't update my blog until now

And thank you for your many comments during that time

I've done things I shouldn't have done as an AKB48 member

I've brought trouble to many people
I've betrayed the fans
I'm really sorry that as of today I stopped being an AKB48 member 

Today is the last day for me as an AKB48
As well as the last AKB handshake event

From this point, let me express frankly what i'm feeling now
Because i'm clumsy, i'm sorry if there is any incomplete words

To be honest, i'm afraid of this last handshake event

It's not because i'm worried of the possibility of harsh words thrown to me
But rather it's because I feel really painful of the reality that when today is over
I stopped being Yonezawa Rumi from AKB48   

I can't perform on stage anymore
I can't sing together with the members anymore
I can't talk with the fans in my beloved handshake events anymore

I know what it means to quit
I planned to accept the fact
 
But I really can't feel it at all
I know it's my own fault and what myself decided
But the truth is, I still can't accept the fact.

But today,
After I talked with the fans
Finally I can find my resolve.

From the day my resignation has been decided until now
I think of what I have given to the fans all these 5 years

“I can't do anything”...i told to myself.
Like, “Be a senbatsu member!” or
“Please appear more on TV!” and such
Regretfully I can't answer your voices of hope
Even when you have gone though the trouble and make me an oshi
I feel really sorry as an oshimen.

Even so,
Thanks for today's event
I can really feel in my heart that
“I'm glad being an AKB”
“I'm glad I can meet you all”
is what I feel

Even when I should have been cursed for my actions
Even I had prepared to accept any words throwed at me

I just can't imagine these kind of warm words that I accepted
“Ganbare”
“I will support you from now on”
“I'm glad I have you as my oshimen”

Even if I always been supported all this 5 years,
To the very end I kept being pushed on my back

I don't know if I used this words correctly, but
I was really happy to accept your tears and words of encouragement

I understand that the tears that you shed is not a happy tears

But,
I'm really thankful of all the feeling that you give for me
I'm really glad to have been loved this much
Is what I feel in my heart.

Even when I write this long I still can't fully express  my gratitude
I fully realized now that I love you guys very much

I know it's like, “If you have that feeling then don't break the rule”
Yes, I think it's really that way

I've made a mistake

But,
I absolutely want to meet again with you
Thinking of the support you've given and how I love you guys.

You said
 “I'll wait for you”
 or also
“ I've been waiting for you”
 
Being pushed on the back like this,
I think I can work hard again from now
No, i'll work hard.

Really sorry to have worried you

Maybe there will be someone who'll feel unpleasant reading my words
Who hate me so much that won't forgive me
I accept wholeheartedly the harsh words given to me today

To you guys who feel as such
I'll live my life to the fullest
in hope that someday you can accept my feelings

My activities as AKB48 is finished
I've spent 5 years in AKB48
The memories we've spent together and the feeling and power that I accepted
Till the day we meet again,
I'll work hard no matter what i'm facing in the future

What made me feel that way is
AKB48
Member and staff
And most importantly because of you

I'm glad that I can give the last goodbye as an AKB member
Thank you very much for coming

And
For the Yonera, Thank you so much for supporting me all this 5 years!
I'll do what I can to see you again, i'll work hard.
Please be well, till the day we meet again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you Yonechan, without you there maybe i won't  enjoy my AKB fandom as much.  I know i'm not much of a fans for you lately, but one thing you should know that i always wishes of your well being.
Yeah, till the day we meet again..

Rumi announces her new agency:

Former AKB48 member Yonezawa Rumi has announced her new agency through her official Twitter account.

She wrote, “I’m ready to report something I’ve been wanting to tell everyone☆ First, I would like to announce my agency. I now belong to M’s enterprise☆.”

Yonezawa left AKB48 back in January when her private photos were leaked on the internet. As her contract ended in March, she was forced to shut down her official blog that she was actively updating for 2 years. Now that she belongs to a new agency, Yonezawa’s new official blog is currently under construction. It’s scheduled to launch in the middle of this month.

Yonezawa also revealed her goals saying, “From now on, I would like to do my best while focusing on my acting career.”
