Maeda Atsuko graduates from AKB48

前田敦子AKB48を卒業するってきいたが。。。

まぁ、俺はどうでもいいんだ。かってにしなって感じだ。けどファンがショックになってるだろう。。それでも自分が決めたことやからな。

So yeah, I heard that Maeda Atsuko announced that she will graduate from AKB48. What do I think? Well, it's a huge shocker for the fans, but I say, really, big deal. She decided that to herself and it was about time that she would separate from the group that sings in unison. Being a member of AKB48 has so many limitations. One being the fact that the members always have to stay together, disallowing the freedom for every girl. I guess that's why many have went solo temporarily and released singles like Itano Tomomi and Maeda Atsuko herself. Maeda may have realized finally that being independent--going solo-- will be much better for her. I mean, now she can get a boyfriend. But aside from all that, she will be missed from AKB48. At this point, she is arguably the face of the idol group, and seeing her announce her leave in front of the fans at the Saitama Super Arena is quite a shocker for them. And admittedly, yes, it does leave quite a scratch on me because I used to listen to some albums. But her graduation is for the good, at least. The question is just when she is going to graduate. With events coming up, she may attend them and eventually change her mind. Who knows.
