Sponichi interview with Matsui Rena and Yagami Kumi about SKE's first independent appearance in Kouhaku: (Dec. 25, 2012)<Skip>―― Yagami-san, its your first and last appearance in Kouhaku as an SKE member right?Kuumin: Yes, it is. It feels kind of lonely to say 'first and last', but I always used to say to other members that "I want us to appear" and now I'm really happy that we are going appear. I feel that it is like a present to me, I want to gladly accept it.―― How about if you postpone (lit. push forward/delay) your graduation and appear on Kouhaku the next year as well? Kuumin: As a matter of fact, a little bit, i feel like I want to appear next year as well. (laughs)―― You want to delay (lit. extend) your graduation?Kuumin: I get that feeling sometimes (laughs)<Skip> (about Rena saying that since both of them are together all the time as usual, she doesn't feel that Kuumin will be graduating soon. And Kuumin says that she feels the same too.)http://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2012/12/25/kiji/K20121225004844920.html
