[GENERAL] The AKB48 Graduated Members Thread

Yuko and Sae went to see Kinky Boots together (Yuko's instastory on top)

 

Mama&Son Twitter:
======================
特にそんなに理由なく集まってしまったM&Sの4人のアイドル達(元も含む)。 “たかみなの結婚式のお祝いって事にしてM&Sのtwitterに載せといて”と、やや本気で小嶋陽菜ちゃんは言ってたものの、当のたかみな氏がいないというカオス
---------------------------------------
Especially, M & S's four idols (including the former ones) who have gathered so much for no reason.
“Sorry, I'll put it on M & S's twitter to celebrate the wedding of Takamina,” said Kojima Haruna, who is somewhat serious, but the chaos is that there is no such person as Takamina
---------------------------------------

Takamina's response:
よんでよ！！ どないなってんねん！ にゃんにゃーーーん！
-------------------------
Read it! ! It won't happen! Nyan nyan!
-------------------------

Three people went snorkling (?). From Yuko's Instastory video (too bad about the sun streaming across the video).

 

More snorkeling. They formed a club and opened an instagram account.

Quiz: can you see through the masks (or recognize the bodies)? Answers below.

We have formed a scuba diving club with the fact that the three Tomotomo trios have obtained a scuba diving license! !
With regard to activities, I would like to use this [SyS diving club] for a dedicated account! !

This is a little cheat, but since 2/3 of the 3 Musketeers have graduated, I am putting it here.

They had a sleepover.

^ I just posted in the AKB48 general thread, thinking it wasn't a reunion. It's good that we put it two places so people will see it. I thought the idea of what happens to idols who don't stay in entertainment was interesting.

P.S. Oguri Erika is a prize winning bartender.

Added: from the interview. She worked in the cafe hoping to become the second Mariko.

"It was also impressive that Erika Oguri, who was active as a solo gravure idol, was not able to fulfill the dream of becoming an AKB 48 as intended.

0ki: It may be that the concentration as an adult female increases as the page goes back. Oguri is also a cafe girl's synchronized Mariko Shinoda will be a star, but I can not pass the AKB 48 and do anything to do a performance with the body of "the world's smallest gravure model" and to sell. Hm. First of all, I think people in the world don't know about the hardship, but after she quits the idol, I study with regret while sleeping as a bartender. At the beginning, customers are also asked, "You're a former idol, right?", But you can get sommeliers, tequila estros and various qualifications, and you will be able to answer questions such as trying your malt knowledge Hm. I think it's great. In the case of Mr. Oguri, I wanted to enter AKB 48, but I think that the best cross was that I could not enter."

 

The title: アイドル、やめました。　AKB48のセカンドキャリア

Jisho shows it as an action:
to resign; to retire; to quit; to leave (one's job, etc.)
to stop (an activity); to cease; to discontinue; to end; to quit
to cancel; to abandon; to give up; to abolish; to abstain; to refrain

Google gave me "I Gave Up" when I first read the article. "I was an idol" seems a little passive; "I stopped" or "I quit" seem better.

 

Kasai Tomomi and Miyazawa Sae are appearing together in Peter Pan (again?). They held a press conference with the other stars.


if the video does not show watch the video here

 

but but ..... that's cultural appropriation! ...

well, I don't care ... sae looks kinda smoking as a Native American

 

They weren't graduated then, but they are now.

"All 12 episodes of the talk documentary "AKB 48 Traveling Girl" in which members of the AKB48 group go on a journey will be broadcast on MONDO TV from June 13 (Thursday).

The program, produced by Yasuki Akimoto, is a talk documentary in which members of the AKB 48 group travel on a regular basis such as good-by members, and was broadcast on Nippon Television from April to June 2015."

Some of the included members:

Ricchan, Miki, Yuria, Milky, Mako, Haruu, Rie, Miorin, Miyumiyu, Mayuyu, Tanamin and Akicha, plus others not yet graduated, including Miichan, Miion, Komi, and the Landlord.

Added:
A story about Mako's haluhiroine exhibition and all the grads that came.

"Mako Kojima, who graduated AKB 48 on May 12, exhibited the brand "haluhiroine" that she launched at an apparel exhibition held in Tokyo on June 4 and 5. Active members and OGs of the 48 groups have also visited, and Rie Kitahara on Twitter said, "When I went to the exhibition of Kojimako-chan's brand, it was really fun like a reunion." "Oshima team K was complete! K pose after a long time I was bad at being a bad guy"

good thing Miki-chan wasn't included ... because then we would also have 'The Princess' ... ow, wait ... she was :/

 

Haruu, Yuko, and Kojiharu all went to Stuart Weitzman (the latter two together it seems)
