Graduation announcements thread

Since the treatment of schizophrenia is just to stabilize the symptoms, I can't see for her stay in the group for a longer. Happy for her graduation. Wish she keeps helathy and successful outside SKE48.

Spoiler: Hehe

OMG! I can't even sleep cause so happy right now! She's out, finally. My dream comes true... Bye-bye 1st World SSK!

And yeah... congrats for Dasu! She certainly will be the winner of World SSK (if there is any...).

Mod edit: We kinda let this comment afloat as reminder to keep our tact above our emotion. You guys could do better.

 

It's only February and we have 3 aces announced their graduation/withdrawal

 

The other Matsui got a gradcon so I'm sure Jurina will. For my own selfish reasons the first weekend in May would be great but there's already HS events scheduled then. Surely the gradcon would be in Aichi, possibly the Nagoya Dome, so I'd guess that finding a venue during the summer should be OK.

 

To be fair, details are yet to be given so maybe this would be a long graduation period. Like if both Jurina plus her agency and AKB (or just SKE?) management are up to it, she can still center a single (or two, both AKB and SKE) plus a grad concert in a venue they may deem feasible.

 

tbh I expected this with everything that happened with Jurina in the past 2 years. but a part of me is still surprised that it did happen... in some ways I found that Jurina's situation was similar to Haruppi except that Jurina didn't completely stop activities and stop appearing. But just like Haruppi said (after her hiatus) that she had mental health issues (depression I will guess) I think the same happens to Jurina, or something similar, except she keep coming back and leaving and so on. and seeing that she wasn't in SKE and AKB singles... also, when I watched the RH and she just appeared for her solo, but for no other song. I felt like, just like Haruppi (and like Techi for another example) maybe staying as idol is doing more bad than good, and that she would need to quit the idol career in order to have a real rest and recover from all the issues that she has... Sometimes being a popular idol bring stress that is more difficult to handle for some girls than others. I just hope now Jurina can truly recover and continue her career as solo in good health.

As for the graduation concert, yes she definitely deserves one. But what I'm wondering, after seeing that she just performed her solo song and nothing else in RH, I wonder did she also perform little/no song in SKE concert recently? I have no idea but if she performs so little then maybe there is something that prevents her from performing a lot, in this case I wonder if she could have a graduation concert. I remember Paruru declined having a graduation concert back then. I guess that the reason was she had asthma issues and maybe she thought she can't perform too long for a graduation concert (or maybe she just didn't want one for no reason, I'm just making a guess). Haruppi didn't have a graduation stage at all if I remember? Techi also didn't have graduation events. I think when there's health issues, the chances for having a graduation concert/event are lower even if you're very popular... but we'll see... ._.

 

Where does this diagnosis come from?

 

With this, no more SKE 1st gens. It's going by group seniority too: AKB -> SKE -> ? (NO, PLEASE, NOT THE PERV QUEEN)

Either way, hiatuses and amateur schizophrenia diagnoses aside, I'll remember prime Jurina coz that was, current Jurina, well, godspeed to her.

 

Centering another SKE single and having a graduation concert with other SKEs (similar to the treatment Rena had) are a blessing. Jurina's no Sasshi to probably get not only those but also a center position in an AKB single

Is the perv queen you're talking about Mirurun or Akarin?

 

I highly doubt it but I agree she does deserve it. Even the 4 times SSK winner Sasshi didn't get the 48G gradcon, just HKT plus some AKB senbatsu members (and Sasshi actually started her career as AKB member). I think the best she can get is an AKB single center (SKE single center is a given and an obvious choice). I hope Rena will attend the gradcon and the last theater performance.

 

Why, it has to be Miru, ofc.

Also, surfing the net through precarious google translate, I found that Nikkan Sports published that SKE's transfer to a new company and the change of staff left Jurina with an unfamiliar environment and no people she was cozy with, so that pushed her into grad. Seems pretty mundane, if you ask me, she was going so rebelious and off the beaten path lately, I figured she'd come out with a wilder reason.

She also said she wants to produce an Idol group (lezz be honest here girl, you'll never beat Sashihara, =LOVE recently contributed more in sales to Sony than Nogizaka did btw)

Actually what I doubted was a 48G gradcon. I know she 100% will get the graduation concert since she has contributed a lot and "graduating" (not pulling a Techi), but it will be an SKE concert (perhaps with some AKB members just like Sasshi's).

 

So... the end of everything officially started.

I've never seen an SKE48 without Matsui Jurina. As someone who's remaining in the group, I can't say I don't have feelings of unease.
But, because I've seen from a close distance and followed the effort, expectations, and pressure that she carried more than anyone, the thing I want for her happiness. Still, only 22, Matsui Jurina's life has immeasurable possibilities.
But the thing I feel the most is gratitude. Thank you, really. That's what I think. Unmistakably, without her leading the group, there wouldn't be the me today. For me, liking SKE48 is almost the same thing as liking Matsui Jurina.

Just came by to see some people's comments

And finally most of the older members are gone, rise for newer gens!

 

I am just kind of shocked she's graduating. I mean, definitely understandable because of her health these last few years, but in my mind she's still has years left to be an idol I assumed she would continue to be.

I hope J does well after graduation!
