I confess I've been taking Kojiharu for granted this past year. She was one my first favs when I first got into AKB, but as other girls started to appear I didn't pay as much attention to her as I used to.
The 120612 Ariyoshi AKB Kyowakoku followed Kojima's experience of the senbatsu sousenkyo and it really made me appreciate her again. She is such a professional. More importantly, she seems like a super kind human being. Always smiling, yet also worried even though she hardly ever shows it.
She's probably one of the most beautiful women in AKB48, fun to be around and great to watch on stage. She's been with AKB48 since the very beginning and I hope people will appreciate all that she bring into the group.
