Kasai just announced at the AKB Kouhaku that she will be graduating from AKB48.
-
Mass graduation indeed. Oh dang, it's just my first year and I've got this mass graduations :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Mass graduation indeed. Oh dang, it's just my first year and I've got this mass graduations :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
Though not really my first year, I only got active in the fandom a few months ago.
Kinda sad that many have graduated and announced their graduation this year. :cry:
-
God. Fucking. Damnit.
-
I kinda know that this will happen soon, with her being out of senbatsu and all. :smhid
Well, she always stated that she loves performing, so I just hope all the best for her, career-wise and personal life-wise.
Now with Acchan and Yuka, and now Chiyuu, three of my favorites gone. :banghead: And Jan 13 marked as Ahiru No Namida. If my kami-oshimen also leave, I'll leave this fandom too. :banghead:
-
This is gut wrenching- Tomomi has always been a joy to follow, both on music and variety. Wishing her the best as she follows her path, and may abundant health and happiness surround her.
-
noooooooooooooo, i don't want to believe that news, i'm very shock, i i cried when hearing that

AKB48's Team A Kasai Tomomi announced her graduation during the 2nd Kouhaku of their group today (12.17) in Tokyo Dome City Hall. Before she performed her 1st solo single "Masaka", she said "I, Tomomi Kasai will graduate from AKB48" then bowed. "I was in the group for 6 and a half years when I entered at the age of 14. I really learned a lot from it"
Kasai apologized to her fans for the sudden announcement. She also said that she really wants to pursue her dream, to be a solo singer.
Details about her graduation time is still undecided.

So sad to see her leave, she's surely one of the most interesting girls in AKB48.
Good luck on your next career, Kasai!

More like 'I have been kicked out by the management, so it'll be better to leave before they kick me out more.' -_-"

Another of our favorites graduating... :cry:
We'll miss you Chiyuu~~

God. Fucking. Damnit.
This. Very much this. :cry:
I can't even put what I'm feeling into words right now. I'll have to comment later.
-
First Acchan, then Sato and Yuka and now Chiyuu. I guess that's what they meant with the end of the world :cry:
Kasai has always been one of my favorites, not only because she is beautiful but also because she is funny and her voice always manages to make me happy when I hear it. Even though I wasn't there in the beginning and only became a hardcore fan in early 2012, in my opinion she played an important part in AKB48. It will never be the same without her and I wish her all the best for her solo carriere. We love you Chiyuu and we will always watch over you :heart:
-
2nd gen suffers yet another loss. Masuda, Sato and now Kasai, couple that with Ohori's engagement original K members sure have had a lot of emotions this past month.
-
Sad to see another 2nd gen member announce her graduation, especially since that was also Yuka's last appearance as an AKB member :cry:
Good luck to Chiyuu~ as a solo artist and, since she has a record label, I'm sure we'll hear lots more from her after she graduates
-
Well this sucks. This feels way too sudden. I always felt that while she is popular, I thought she wasn't very well known outside the AKB fandom. She had always been one of my favs. I really hope her solo single takes off. She's got a good singing voice that I think is one of the better ones out of the group.
2nd generation taking big hits the past month. Hopefully no one gets any ideas for the time being (lookin' at you, Oshima).
-
Damn. This is madness. Expecting more to come, I think the Tokyo Dome concert was a harbinger, along with Manatsu no sounds good, that the older gen will be phased out.
-
I always felt that while she is popular, I thought she wasn't very well known outside the AKB fandom.
I'm not sure. I think the opposite may be true. I mean, yes, she is no household name like Oshima Yuko, but consider this:
1. Within AKB48 she doesn't make senbatsu that often anymore and her show appearances are limited at best.
2. Look at the list of (mostly) solo appearances by Kasai on Japanese television:
Dorakurowa
Tore! / Dero!
Tosochu / Sentochu / Run for Money
Ikinari! Ogon Densetsu
Bakusho! Dainippon Akan Kesatsu
Gokigen Kayou Shogekidan
Cho Dokyu! Sekai no Arienai Eizo Retsuden
Viva! Gokujo Earth
Torihada Maruhi Scoop Eizou
Piece TV
Quiz Ichigan
Downtown DX
Drive a Go! Go!
Piramekino
Zekkei! Arupusu Juudan Fureai Tabi
Oku no Fukamichi
Smart Monkeys
Lion no Gokigenyou
Shibuya DEEP A
Tabekore
Akko ni Omakase!
Geinou Bang
Nanikore Chin-Hyakkei
Sou da Dokka ni Ikou
PON!
Sekai no Kowai Onnatachi
Warau! Amekan
Manual Gekidan
Sekaiichi Uketai Jugyou
Narikiri Kankopi Senshuken
Tutorial Adventure
Kyoukasho ni Nosetai!
King of Chair
That's a variety list Miichan can only dream about. I think it definitely helped Kasai to get her name out there and to get the #12 spot during last election.
-
Bah!
Another graduation, and this time is my oshi's.
Liking Kasai has its ups and downs, I suppose. She is no where near perfect. But I stuck with her until the end (though her being out of AKB does not mark the end). It's hard to catch her being in the back row for senbatsu and it takes a little more effort to try and grasp her character as a whole beyond her cute, pampered girl demeanor. What she shines most in is her stage performance. Dakishimeraretara and SSA's Junjou Shugi to name a few. Oh, and her in Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka is just so hnnnngg.
At this point it doesn't really matter whether if Kasai's in AKB or not anymore. AKB hasn't been providing her with many jobs, she's not even on their shows like Gachi Gase or whatever regularly. She's not on the new singles (or even Team Surprise). So we can clearly see that the AKB management doesn't care much about giving her the exposure anymore. Her solo single and PB might as well be the work of HoriPro doing what they should have done ages ago.
I'm pretty sure we'll still be seeing her around in varieties and possibly more singles after this. This might even be a good thing for her career...
The downside is that we'll have less of Kasai in off-stage clips and just less of her overall.
She might not be a super popular solo artist, but heck I'm sure she'll do well. Wishing her the best!
2013 is going to kick us hard. :(
-
good luck for chiyuu and I'll keep my eyes on you...do your best on your solo career :onioncheer:
so who will be next?
yuuchan?nyannyan?tomochin?
-
Somehow I'm not so surprised. The best for Chiyuu. Now, Yuuchan's graduation would be a disaster right now!
-
Just to give things a spin of paranoia..
Recent graduations/leaving announcements:
Masuda Yuka. Satou Natsuki. Kasai Tomomi.
Take the first character of each of their family names:
MaSaKa.
Coincidence?
-
After thinking about this for a while, it's not that surprising.
Most of the older members saw AKB as a means to get to their dreams. Kasai's dream is to be a solo singer. She got her record deal and now she's going to be a solo singer. She's not in senbatsu now and doesn't really have much going on in AKB, so it makes perfect sense.
(I mean, if I got a record contract offered to me, I would not continue working in my current job either) :lol:
Takamina made a point of saying that she wanted to achieve her dream while in AKB. I don't know how many of the girls feel that way.
(Also, given that it's all 2nd gen, I bet their contracts are up and we might see something similar with 3rd gen next year...)
-
yada yo tomomi don't go wahhh :cry:
why is everybody graduating im starting to panick :panic: :shocked
i will miss you tomomi chan especially when your with tomochin :heart:
-
This year sucks... Chiyuu is graduating too? She was one of favorites!
-
Bah I just....ehrm...rraWrhh.. *hits the booze*
-
Someone said me about the reason graduation of Chiyuu, and I don't know it's true or not because I don't know Japanese, From 1'30'' in this clip. Chiyuu said AKB48, If you guys know Japanese, may you share to me what she said,thank you very much
(somepne told me the reason she graduate is she isn't senbatsu)

^Basically this:
Making the dream of Tokyo Dome come true. And the next advancement of AKB. Being outside of senbatsu, and as more young people join. As AKB moves forward, I also think how I should move forward and not just stay the same. Now having the dream of a solo debut arrive, I think I should give it my all.
But still not even close... by myself... like tv shows... I don't even know if I'll appear. When AKB has such a huge wall poster, there are worries of looking all around it and not seeing myself anywhere.
Now feels like the right time to make a resolution, to walk forward, and announce my graduation.
What kind of singer are you aiming to be?
To have both the good parts of an artist and an idol.
-
I knew it was because of that :banghead:

In other news, according to this news article, wTomomi will be participating the in 31st Summer single. However, they will not be participate in the next sousenkyou, & will graduate together at the Nippon Budokan concert on April 27, following up with a farewell performance in the theatre.

Man! I was hoping they would graduate together at the Nissan Stadium concert.
I'm hoping for their performance of Love Wars!(and Kinjifuta!)

It is actually great that they can grad together although the announcements were quite apart from each other
