[TEAM S] KUUMIN ~ The Yagami Kumi Thread

☆Yesterday was…★

Good Evening

Everyone, I’m sorry I startled you yesterday with the sudden announcement of my graduation.

Yesterday I was carefully reading everyone's comments and other member's Google+ updates the whole day.

I felt like I was always fortunate and blessed after reading your warm comments.

I was really happy to read all those comments which everyone left for me, each of them conveying their different feelings.

Also, the updates, emails and phone calls that all the members had left for me was heartwarming.

I never thought everyone would really come and express to me all their feelings in such a manner.

Thank you very much everyone.

Well then, no feeling sad anymore. I will return to my usual blog from here onward.

Tomorrow I will go to the Handshake event, and will be pairing up with Yukko. I'm excited and looking forward to that.

Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu to all those people who will come tomorrow ｀・ω・´

I wonder how it will be tomorrow ☆

KU(・ω・ノ)ノ〜MI

I was praying in my head that she would say that she was just kidding after that

Possible nonsense ahead…

Nishishi speaking.

Yesterday Yagami Kumi announced her graduation.

Even after one night it seems i couldn’t come to term with this idea (—;).

I’m sure Kuu-chan is someone who has a lot in her mind and who reflect over things again and again.

So she must have thought about her graduation, became anxious, thought about it again, summoned her courage… and took her decision. I think that’s how things went.

So I’ve no other choice than to accept it.

So I have to support her.

Even if it breaks my heart to be separated again from someone precious to me… She is that important to me that I have to cheer for her with a strength in proportion with my feelings, so she walks without fear the path she chose.

Kumi-chan is really a kind girl.

Yesterday I sent a mail to Kumi filled with my feelings on the spur of the moment.
And you know, her reply showed how much she was concerned about me.

I love this kind Kuu-chan. Kuu-chan who has the bravery to be honest with herself. I love her and respect her. ←

Hmm. As expected I couldn’t put it nicely (laugh).

Sorry for double-posting but I just needed to say this and I didn't want to include it on my previous post...

When I first heard the news, I had just woken up and I thought this must be some cruel joke but...

I was really and completely devastated because Kumi was one of the few SKE members that helped break me into the group and one of my favs, she was so goofy and lovable and wonderful and she still is. This year must have brought out a lot of changes in her to decide something like this and it's rather admirable that she wants to graduate because she wants to experience things on her own as a normal girl rather than an idol, she wants her kouhai to shine so she's taking the step to let them do that.

It hurts, it hurts so much, I come across her photos or videos and just scream in my head 'WHY WHY ARE YOU LEAVING?' but it's really selfish because this is her decision so I'll respect it and support her. I just hope she doesn't completely disappear from the radar because that will be devastating. ;;

Ah Kumi, I hope you have a great time before your graduation and hopefully you get to perform in the new theater before that as well~! \O/

Graduation Announcement at Kiss Datte Hidarikiki Handshake Event in Port Messe Nagoya (Nov. 3rd)
Translations From Kumi Yagami 矢神久美 (Facebook FanPage)

“It was something that I’ve thought of for a long time, and I’ve made my decision after speaking to Yuasa-san…
My feelings of wanting to experience various things from now on were getting stronger, and while I know it is self-centred of me, I have decided thus.
My love for SKE, and for everyone, will not change.
As there is still time until my graduation, please support me till the very end.”

So, this means that Kuumin will be graduating next year, and the date is yet Undecided. SKE48 theater will open after renovations on December 9th!

Translations from http://sakaeandfrog.tumblr.com/

-Kumin re-affirmed her graduation in front of everyone
-She had thought about graduating for a year, consulting SKE48 theater manager Yuasa.
-She kept discussing this with him, saying she wanted to experience a life, even just temporarily, outside the world of show business
-She explained that she didn’t “want to stop” but “experience new things” / “know more about what life has to offer”and so she made that choice
-Graduation will take place next year (seemingly) and date is yet to be announced

EDIT: Since I want to refrain from Double Posting...
Kuumin Solo Saxophone Performance + 1!2!3!4! Yoroshiku! at Nippon Gaishi Hall

Is there anything that Kuumin can't do?  Such a bright future for her...

Sounds like she want to leave the world of showbiz alltogether. I think that is very admirable of her instead of chasing some solo fame. Still, if she is planning on trying to get back in at a later state I think there might be trouble. The entertainment business isn't the most loyal one, plus it forgets people easily once they are out. Hopefully she will have the required connections.

Can I ask what show is it where Kuumin says her catchphrase while attached to low frequency volt machine?
It's at 2:50 mark?
And if anyone would like to show the link to the show, that would be great.

[SomethingWild]

^The show is called ItteKoi48, but I have no idea which episode it was.
