To the smart, strong, cute squirrel, Happy Birthday!
Yuko was the first girl in AKB I saw stand out, even though she wasn't given a very big role in most singles.
Her personality, style and finesse in team stages never failed to put me in awe.
Even she may be older than most of the others in AKB, she never looked as if she was, always cheery and active.
She was definitely one of the girls that brought AKB to what it is today.
To the miracle she brought to AKB,
HAPPY 24TH BIRTHDAY, YUKO!!!
