Noooo! My brother told me that Ogiso was graduating.. and I thought he was kidding, so I just looked it up and-and-and.. /SAAAAD FAAACE

At first it started off with Yagami Kumi graduating, then I thought.. "At least I have Ogiso for SKE48 still." WRONG. I'm going to the gym angry and sad today. Poop.

Shiori really does have an aura about her, as others have stated.
Will really miss seing her in various events, but wishing her the best as she pursues new goals and dreams.

A very nice tribute to Shiori from YouTuber ilbthre4usbc (Arigatou!)

Artist: The Street Sliders
Song: 虹を見たかい / Niji wo Mitakai  (Did You See the Rainbow)

[muppet]

One day, after Shiori chan has graduated,
someone is going to say, "who was this beautiful girl, Shiori?"

We will have to tell them,
'well let me tell you about the
way she looked, the way she acted, the color of her hair,
her voice was soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright,
but she's not there!'









Artist: The Zombies
Song: She's Not There

Ogiso Shiori - Graduation interview in Entame April 2013



Translated by http://sakaeandfrog.tumblr.com/post/44537462662/ogiso-shiori-graduation-interview-in-entame

On January 15th after Team KII stage it was announced that this Spring 9 members of SKE48 would graduate. Among the members standing in the theater stage that day to announce their graduation was Ogiso Shiori. The shock fans received that day was tremendous.

I needed to be more independent, with this in mind I decided to graduate.

Ogiso - Reaching 20 was a major event for me on a personal level. Rather than having to do with SKE48, I felt like I had reached a major turning point in my life. I love SKE48 but I saw I needed to stand more by myself as a single individual and to achieve that, cutting ties I had been relying on, I needed to graduate.

Q - Ogiso Shiori entered SKE48 as a third generation member when she was 17, later promoted to team KII with most of the rest of the 3rd generation. She was picked to be part of the group 2nd single「Aozora Kataomoi」senbatsu and never let go of her spot with the exception of an unique single. Among the so called “golden generation” that was the 3rd generation, she was one of the most prominent member, reflecting on the importance of the work she was awarded with. The young lady looks back today on those 3 years and tell us about this part of her life.

Ogiso - Personally, I never thought I would go so far, that I’d be given that many opportunities and gain that much experience through work. My most important memory? Let see… So much happened it’s hard to narrow it down but, that would be stages we performed days after days. I shed tears, I howled with laughter, every stage was different from the precedent so each stage performance is a precious memory.

Q - Joining SKE48 with her were Kizaki Yuria, which whom she formed the “OgiYuri” combi and her so called “lover”, Kinoshita Yukiko. She told them prior to the announcement of her intention to graduate.

Ogiso - Yuria and Yukko notice when I’m not doing ok or am worried without me needing to speak up. When I told them I was graduating, it was like we were discussing about our problems like we always do. But when the 3rd generation members had the opportunity to dance together for the New Year stage, Yuria and Yukko couldn’t hold back their tears.

Q - Kizaki Yuria wasn’t only close from Ogiso, but also from Kuwabara Mizuki and Hiramatsu Kanako who decided too to graduate this spring. Even though, Ogiso tell us why she isn’t worried for her.

Ogiso - Yuria is a strong girl. And our friendship won’t change even after I graduate, she can come to me anytime if she needs help. Plus until now we were also rivals, that gone, I want to fully support her.

Q - To go on into more pragmatic concerns, once Ogiso will have graduate, one spot in senbatsu will be vacant. With regard to this subject…

Ogiso - Of course I want my juniors to try their best, but more than anything else I want 3rd generation members to fight their way to the top. I think research student Kaotan (Matsumura Kaori) deserves a chance too, it makes me happy to hear they’re sad and feel lonely because I’m leaving, but more importantly I want them to keep up the 3rd generation spirit and relentlessly aim for senbatsu.

Q - Again, her answer denoted how strong was the bond existing between her and the other 3rd generation members which whom she had spent the most intense moments during her 3 years of belonging in SKE48.

I’m excited to see how Yuria will handle the organization of the 3rd gen members meeting.

Q - A song was written especially for the 9 graduating members 「Sore wo Seishun to Yobu Hi」. This song, along the MV, is guaranteed to bring any SKE48 fan on the verge of tears.

Ogiso - I’m really happy to have the opportunity to sing such a beautiful message song to bring my time in SKE48 to a close. It’s not only a sad song, it’s also a very positive and turn to the future piece. It’s the perfect song to convey our feelings. But I’ve to say it’s a little strange to sing it the 9 of us. We’re from different generations, different teams, if we had not graduated this group would have never been formed. I think it’s fate who brought us together.

Q - Day after day, the graduation is drawing closer. Could there be anything that feels like it had been left undone?

Ogiso - Hmm…. The 3rd gen meeting! We haven’t hold any since Imade (Mai)’s graduation. Until now I was the organizer  but when I graduate Yuria will take over me and I’m eager to see how it will turn out. Though I’m a little concerned, will she manage it? (laugh)

Q - Once you graduate, your free time naturally increases. Of course there are things one would want to challenge then.

Ogiso - First of all I want to obtain my license. I want to be able to pick up Yuria and go for a drive with her. Mii-chan (Kuwabara Mizuki) also said she would invite me to have lunches. And I hope we can go together to her province since she asked me 「Ya comin’ to Kochi ‘k?」.

Q - And then, what direction will her future take?

Ogiso - There is a multitude of things I want to do but I haven’t make any clear decision yet. There are some I’m decided to accomplish, but rather than having one clear goal, I’m thinking of doing things I want to do one by one.

Q - Last she left a message for SKE48 members who will pursue their activities after she has left the group, but also to all the fans who have been looking after 「Ogiso Shiori」as an idol, until now.

Ogiso - Those past 3 years, I’ve spent close to everyday with everyone in SKE48, we have been together more than I was with my own family, so truly, leaving makes me feel lonely. But even if I’m gone, I want everyone to remain the same,and shine while staying true to themselves. And to our fans. You shared my joys and my pains. You were even possibly swinging from greater joys to greater sorrow than I was myself. If I had not joined SKE48 never would I have met such extraordinary people. It’s thank to all of you who have supported me that I could give my best all this time. There is still a little bit of time before I graduate. Bearing in my chest all the gratitude I have toward those who supported me, I’ll enjoy every moment I have left in the group, so please keep watching over me!

Ogiso Shiori interview from Bubka April 2013



Translation by http://sakaeandfrog.tumblr.com/post/44368103476/ogiso-shiori-interview-from-bubka-april-2013-out

The true meaning of graduating

Q - … It’s sad! We’ve looked over you like if you were 「Our Ogiso Shiori」since the day you debuted.

Ogiso - I’ve been in Bubka-san’s care for a long time (laugh). Yuria (Kizaki) and Yukko (Kinoshita) were even interviewed about me in 「Our Ogiso Shiori」. The day it went on sale, my mother bought said Bubka issue!

Q - Such a wonderful mother! (laugh) I conducted the interview myself last year on October 2nd, at the time had you already decided you’d graduate?

Ogiso - I had made my mind already yes. I took my time last year to carefully ponder the question, but turning 20 had a huge impact on me. I think I’ve been extremely lucky to be part of SKE48 and to bath in the group environment, of course I made tremendous efforts too, but as I was given the opportunity to experience a lot of things, I wondered more and more if I wasn’t relying too much on the group.

Q - Ogiso-san is a precious element in SKE48 and you climbed your way up nicely too, I honestly thought the best was to come.

Ogiso - Thank you very much. When I joined, the world of show-business was for me like most ordinary people a 「World of wonders」I admired. I could have never imagine  I was going to turn into who I am now. Someone who got to perform in NHK Kouhaku Utagassen with SKE48, someone who have been part of SKE48 senbatsu. So to be entirely frank, I got to do much more than I could have ever dreamed of and am satisfied beyond words. It was really, really fun.

Q - Did you inform members you were thinking of graduating? Or maybe just Kizaki-san and Kinoshita-san?

Ogiso - As expected, Yuria and Yukko could easily read through me. When we shared our hotel room, they would ask me 「Is there something you want to talk about?」… So yes, those two knew before the announcement.

Q - How did they react?

Ogiso - At first they were speechless…But 「That’s not where things end.」. We all know it. That’s not where the goal line is, eventually everyone will graduate one day, so they understood my choice. But lately 3rd generation members had several opportunities to dance together and there those two would get teary eyes… When that happens I’d pretend I don’t notice. Because you see, that’s not the place for me to cry.

Q - All the more because you’ve such a special and strong bonds, right? Have you already decided on what you were going to do after graduating?

Ogiso - There are tons of things I want to do, but I haven’t found what I wanted to aim at yet. But speaking of what I want to do, those are not only things I couldn’t do until now. For example, I want to get better at cooking!

Q - What sounds like a given for ordinary people can indeed become quite difficult to achieve when you’re part of the entertainment industry. But in the other hand, aren’t there things you regret you won’t be able to experience since you’ll have left SKE48? Like for example accomplishing the group dream of performing in Nagoya Dome.

Ogiso - Of course I wanted to be there. But having been given to stand on countless stages, I came to understand that there was more important than the size of the venue itself. Every and each theater performance, or when at the time of 「Aozora Ktaomoi」we danced and hold talk show in the middle of shopping malls, I consider all those to have been precious stages. Now, the number of stages I performed on are a source of pride for me.
Joining SKE48, I met people who became same as family for me and whom I want to keep in my life forever, and there are fans who were always there to support me even when I was lacking qualities to be an idol. That’s why, why I’m sincerely glad I joined SKE48, I’ve no regrets!

Q - Since you’re so firm in your statement, we can only be at peace! Though I’ve to say you seemed really fit as an idol in my humble opinion.

Ogiso - Eh?! I don’t think I fall in the same category as say Suda Akari-chan and her honeyed words (laugh).

Q - Sure that with the raspy voice…. (laugh). But the gap between your voice and your appearance is very much idolish in fact. Here comes my last inquiry already, what do you hope will become of SKE48 from now onwards?

Ogiso - I think the most important thing is not to forget our beginner’s mind. Being daredevils, giving everything you have, under no circumstances should members look through what 1st generation sempais have been protecting and transmitting us all this time. Because that’s where lies the very reason why I wanted to join SKE48. I want this spirit to be preserved and cultivated, and for the group to be the best among all.

Q - Thank you very much for today! Play treasure the time you’ve left in SKE48.

Ogiso - I will!

小木曽は古川愛李とのユニット曲「眼差しサヨナラ」を披露。
曲の途中で古川が小木曽に「ありがとう」と告げると会場からは大きな歓声が沸き起こり、
小木曽はそのまま曲の終わりまで涙を流し続けた。
Ogiso performed the unit song that she had with Furukawa Airi, “Manazashi Sayonara”. 
In the middle of the song, after Furukawa said “arigatou” (thank you) to Ogiso,
loud cheers rose in the venue, and Ogiso cried till the end of the song.

Aww that was great but sad too.

Ogiso(・*・final。)3Shiori

It’s Ogiso Shiori.
Finally, time for the last performance,
the evening one for

the 2nd day of the Gaishi Hall concert.
I was already almost moved to tears
before the beginning.

Since everytime I
looked at members or people
from the staff I felt
like I would start crying
i tried as much as I could
not to look at them.
And even Yuria, who
was beside me all the time
was not there back then.

Then the live started
and my very first song
was [Gomen ne Summer],
performed with the 3rd generation.
From the bottom of my heart
I thought about how dear the 3rd generation is to me.
In the part in which we say
“♪Haato ni sotto furetakunatta” (I felt like genly touching your heart)
me and Yuria made a heart,
looked at each other
and I tried to smile with all my might.



And then came the singles:
[Kataomoi Finally]
[Choko no Dorei]

I wonder how many times
I’ve had the pleasure to sing them
as a senbatsu member…
I’ve sung and danced them so much
that they soaked into my body.

When it was time for Team KII’s
[Ima, kimi to irareru koto]
the circumastances were just so perfectly fitting
that the meaning of the lyrics
pierced my heart intensely

Then I sang, with Airi-san,
[Manazashi Sayonara]



The outfits weren’t the
usual red and blue ones,
but newly made
black and white chic dresses.
When me and Airi-san faced
each other and, as we were singing,
got closer and passed each other,
she said “Thank you”.
It had always been “Sayonara”
during the rehearsal.
It made me so happy to
feel Airi-san’s love
and even though I was crying,
I properly burned into my memory
until its very end
that [Manazashi Sayonara] we were
able to perform on such a huge stage.

Lastly,
while all the members
sang
[Tooku ni itemo]
us 9 graduating members
got on the stage,
facing them.

And it was time for
[Sore wo seishun to yobu hi]

As the members and
a lot of other people
were looking over me,
I was wearing the outfit
prepared specifically for the occasion
and, trying not to lose to the tears,
I sang it.

The white penlights
you all were so kind to wield for us,
looked like a lot of shining stars in the sky,
and illuminated my blurred field of vision.

 

In the end
we all sang
[Te wo tsunagi nagara] and
[Nakama no uta]

As I held hands with Yuria,
linked arms and hugged her
the whole time,
I was able to sing it
until the end.



She’s really a very, very precious person for me.
That is not going to change.

Then, after the end
of the concert, I went to
greet all the many
staff members and authorized people
who took care of me
until now.

After that,
all the 3rd gen members
got together and gave
an album to me
and Kasusu.

Even though they were all
having a hard time with the Gaishi Hall’s
rehearsals and all,
they prepared an album
filled with love and memories
and I couldn’t avoid crying again.

It will be forever a treasure for me.
Thank you with all my heart!!

 

My last three performances
in the Gaishi Hall.
I’m sure I’ll never
ever forget them.

That’s just how much of a precious
memory they became.

Thanks for having red
such a long post.

I meant to
summarize it as much as I could
but, after all, it’s not that
easy…(*ｕβｕ*)

Still, I’d be happy if
this would stay, forever,
in your hearts as well.

With tomorrow’s Team KII Stage
I’ll graduate from SKE48 for good.

Tomorrow will also be the last day
for me to write on this blog.

Please keep watching over me
until the very end!

Well then, lastly…

See you tomorrow!(*бｖб*)！

。(・*・Goma)3

Sorry for posting it but it was touching for me to read it and I miss her.
Sorry for long post and pictures because I don't know how to shrink the pictures.
