Huuuaaaaaaaa...........Acchaaaaan!!! Pengen nangis rasanya.... ヽ(´□｀。)ﾉ *peluk Acchan*
Doushite?? Doushite desu ka?? Padahal saya baru beberapa bulan tau Acchan, dan sekarang, dia malah Lulus.... Huueeee.... o(╥﹏╥)o

Hmm....mau gimana lgi, ini memang keputusannya. Begini ya rasanya, *walaupun tidak kenal, saya ikutan sedih. Seperti klo lulus dri sekolah. Padahal kita akan melanjutkan pendidikan menuju kesuksesan ke jenjang pendidikan yang lebih tinggi, tapi malah sedih rasanya berpisah dengan teman2 yang sudah cukup lama bersama kita.* Saya masih baru2 ini sih mengenal 48Family, dan baru pertama kali ini merasakan salah satu member graduated, dan dia adalah Oshimen saya. Akhirnya, mau gimana lagi...
Tapi tetep aja rasanya gimanaaa~ gitu.... (´；д；`)

Ah~ maa ii ka....  Mungkin itu yang terbaik.Yang penting tetep semangat. Yoooosh! Ganbatte ne Acchan!! Zutto..ganbatte kudasai! :DD Watashi wa mada Acchan ga daisuki desu yo.... nee~ (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡

“Joining AKB48 was the first big decision in my life,” Maeda, 20, was quoted as saying at a concert at the Saitama Super Arena north of Tokyo on March 25. “Please let me make the second crucial decision here today.”
AKS Co., the group’s management agency, quoted Maeda as saying, "I will be graduating from AKB48.”

“I feel very anxious, but I have made the decision that I should graduate and start walking my way, to pave the way for my juniors,” she said, crying.

She did not provide any details on her future plans, including when exactly she will leave the group, the agency said. She has recently been expanding her activities, playing lead roles in television dramas and films.

Maeda is an original member of AKB48, which was formed in 2005, and has been regarded as the face of the group. She gained the most votes in the group’s popularity contests in 2009 and 2011. Huaaaa...mengharukan...o(；△；)o  [Source]
