On August 27th, Itano Tomomi, who held her graduation ceremony at Tokyo Dome on August 25th, held her last performance as AKB48 at AKB48 theater, Akihabara.
In the earlier part of the performance, there was a talk segment about “Memories with Tomochin.” Itano got words of thanks and touching confessions from other members, but she said in her usual calm voice “Don’t say a touching words from the beginning!”, so the venue was wrapped in laughter.
When the members of team K appeared on the stage to convey the last message for Itano, mood was turned totally.
Itano’s big eyes got teary, and tears running on her cheeks.
Oshima Yuko said, “I could work hard because you were smiling by my side.”
Minegishi Minami said, “I’ve envied that Tomochin is always radiant.”
Takahashi Minami said, “I love you, actually.”
To hear such words, only Itano could say was “Thank you.”
She added words not as AKB48’s Tomochin but a solo artist Itano Tomomi, “Today is my graduation day (from AKB48), but I want to take a new step for my dream from this theater. Also as a solo singer, I’d like to do so.”
After all the set list was finished, former AKB48 member Kasai Tomomi appeared on the stage to give flowers as a gift, Itano was so surprised and moved into tears.
At the end of the performance, she had full smile again and said “Thank you so much!” to all of fans. Then, she left the stage where she has performed for 8 years.
