Yesterday had my barbecue , but it started to rain. However , we manage to lit up the fire. In the mid of the process, I went to twitter to see the news regarding the concert. Just a 20 min off Twitter and a shocking news appear. Maeda Atsuko graduating . My mood totally went down .. The first thought I have upon reading this new is "Why is it Acchan? She just 20 years old , she can't leave now!" Though i had guessed there will be a greater announcement on the 3rd day , instinct telling me that it's will be a graduation, but i had prayed hard that there will be no graduation. Even if there is, I had not expected it to be Acchan... She's not in the list of my expecting-graduate . Shock became sadness, I excuse myself and went home. First thing i do when i reached home was switching on my com and searching all the related news about it. It's really depressing . Waiting on her G+ and her blog to see if there's any update but waited it till 3am plus , i just went to sleep . Thinking maybe it's just a nightmare . But it's not.

Thoughts on her Graduation
While watching the first documentary of AKB48, when Atsuko said she wanted to be an actress , i already had the thought she will be graduating soon. But what unexpected is that it was this soon. Just too soon. When the song "Give Me Five" came out, i realise that this year there will graduation from akb. From then, I was guessing who it was and I was thinking maybe it will happen at the 2nd half year. But yesterday news totally proved me wrong.Seeing the news, looking at the photo and watching the footage, the different is big...Especially the footage which had made my tears dropped. The impact was too big.  After having a sleep, I have manage to sort out my thoughts and thinking back on the first day of the concert, i was wondering why her voice doesn't sounds right when she sung the song "Flower" ..I should have seen this coming..

It's good that she is on the road to her dream and it is commendable for her to be the first to take the first step out of akb48. I still remember it was her smile that made me have much more interest in akb48. Wanting to know more about them. As a fan , I really wish her well for her road to achieve her dream though i still can't bear the thought of her leaving akb48. But now what a fan should really do would be respecting her decision and continue to support her. As a center, she's been working really hard and been handling lot and lots of pressure . What's wrong of working hard? I truly admire her from the bottom of my heart being able to still smile despite of all these. Her smile was indeed one of the beautiful smile I had seen. Really a big thank you to her for spending most of her youth on akb48 , making it shine like now. And quoting from Aki-p "You really did an excellent job." I would always remember her for the things she did. of course, still following her news even when she graduated!

It's really a pity I couldn't go to hong kong today. But for the Tokyo dome concert, I would go there for no matter what as it might really be her last concert as an AKB member .. If she participating in the election, my votes bound to give her. She really deserve the first place in akb..

Goodbye to AKB Madea Atsuko and Welcome to the single Madea Atsuko. You're just like a blooming flower , please continue to bloom.

The fact of Acchan leaving, i guess that there will be a chain of graduate coming. Akb is no longer the akb i knew with this graduation. It felt really strange without Acchan ..seems there will be a huge hole. Most important i don't think anyone could replace her even Yuko. She would be the one and only center of AKB to me. If the 1st and 2nd generation all start to graduate, i don't know would I still be supporting Akb any longer.
