Yeah... I already know she'll graduate this year, with a few of her close friends already gone or announced graduation, I knew she'll be next in line. So I can't say I'm surprised with this. And after all, I know she'll be better off solo than staying anyway.

Itano’s comment regarding the graduation made before today’s theater performance at AKB48

2/2/2013 11:37 PM

Hello everyone. I’m Itano Tomomi from team K of AKB48.

I’m sorry it was announced in this sudden way, but I will graduate from AKB48.

Since it was filmed in the documentary film, this announcement is scheduled to be made at this timing. But I’ve already decided this since last year.

I mailed my younger sister in this morning.

I sent her, “Today, I’m going to make it public”. Then she replied “You’ve been doing a great job for the past 7 years”, and this brief exchange remains in my heart.

Since I was a child, I was fickle and hadn’t been able to keep doing the same thing. The reason that I could continue AKB48 for as long as 7 years, I think, is because I really love AKB48, and I’m proud of it.

I have a lot of memories in this theater. I, as 1st generation theater, am one of the first person who stepped on the stage of this theater. There were good times, and there were bad times.

Dating back when I was 2nd grade of junior high school, I was in distress and I suddenly burst into tears during theater performance, which caused trouble to staffs.

I wanted to quit AKB48 for many times. But every time I wanted to quit, I found hesitation was in the corner of my heart. But I have no hesitation or doubts in announcing this today.

I might have little time left in AKB48, and thinking about how many times I will able to perform this theater stage, I can’t help but realize each of of stages is really precious. And thinking about how many times I will still be able to perform with the members in front of you fans, I feel sad, but wants to cherish the left time as well.

The day of my graduation hasn’t decided yet, but I will let you know when I have info about it.

Tomochin's blog post regarding her graduation:

Quote from: Tomomi Itano

みんなへ

板野友美
AKB48卒業します。

いきなりで
驚かせてしまってすみません。

私は１期生として
７年２ヶ月AKBで過ごしてきました。

ｾﾝﾀｰになることや
総監督やｷｬﾌﾟﾃﾝみたいに
みんなをまとめたりすることも
あんまりなかったけど
みんなの『AKB48』の中に
『板野友美』が刻まれ
てたら嬉しいです！

昨年AKBの夢だった
東京ﾄﾞｰﾑの夢を叶え

敦子が卒業して

AKBの事、自分の未来
真剣に考えました。

そして
AKB48を卒業すること
が私の出した決断です。

AKBで活動してきた７年の間に
辛くてやめたい、
逃げ出したいと思い
卒業を考えた事も
たくさんありました。

でもその『卒業』には
どこか迷いがありました

でも、今回の決断にもう迷いはないです。

正直、不安もたくさんあります。
でも、今一歩踏み出さなきゃ絶対後悔すると思って
出した答えです。

幼い頃から
なにをするにも飽きっぽい
私がこのAKBを７年間も続けてこれたのは
本当にAKB48が
大好きだったから。

そして
ﾒﾝﾊﾞｰ、
秋元先生率いるｽﾀｯﾌ、
ﾌｧﾝのみなさん、

AKBに関わるすべての方に
感謝します。
わがままだった14歳の私を
ここまで育ててくれて
ありがとうございます！

では、AKB48としていられる
残り少ない日々を
大切に過ごします。

友の青春のすべてはAKB48でした桜

Tomo.

Itano Tomomi’s Blog: みんなへ To everyone

Itano Tomomi will graduate AKB48.

I am sorry for surprising with you with such a sudden announcement.

I spent 7 years and 2 months as the first generation of AKB.

Although I was unable to stand at centre and unify everyone together like a captain or Soukantoku, but if in everybody’s 「AKB48」 I would be very happy if 「Itano Tomomi」 had been engraved within it.

Last year the concert at Tokyo Dome, which had been the dream for AKB, came true

And Atsuko Graduated

And I thought of AKB, and my future very seriously.

And to graduate from AKB48 was the decision I arrived at.

In my 7 years as AKB I had times when I would have painful times and I would want to run away and escape, and I have thought of graduation many times.

But in that 「graduation」there would be some hesitation somewhere.

However this time, I have no worries and hesitations.

In all honesty, there are some things that I am worried about. But, if I do not step out now I know I will regret it, and this is the answer I have given.

Since I had been little, I had the tendancy to loose interest in anything that I had done, and the fact that I have been able to carry on for 7 years is because I really love AKB48.

And to the members, the Staff and Akimoto Sensei, and to the Fans, and all those who are connected to AKB48, I really appreciate that all you have done. Thank you for raising the selfish and childish 14 year old to what I am now.

I will spend my limited days as AKB48 valuably.

AKB48 had been all of Tomo’s childhood.

Tomo.

Do you know, Tomochin never exclude anyone just because she is a poorly treated member or is a younger generation. She is always truly kindly include anyone regardless of their positions.

She personally texts with even Lemon or Katorena. though it’s not widely known because she never talk about such things herself.

Paruru is so lucky to have Itano Tomomi, girl who has a big heart, as her senior. Tomochin is so lucky to have Paruru (or Paruchan), who cried so hard from the bottom of her heart for Tomochin’s graduation, as her junior.
