    Yep, it's March 16-17, and May 5-6. Basically, NO WAY MAN's going to be her last single that she will have handshake event.

    I am crossing finger for resale.

    Well, at least I hope she gets a graduation stage and it’s not just a normal Team K one.

    She’s centered enough songs to make a whole stage. It would be a nice farewell to have her perform them one last time.

    Naachan and Mako went to interview with EX Taishu, which will be published on Feb 15. After that, they went to dinner (Yakiniku) together. [1] [2]

    After that, Mako went to ANN. She mentioned that in Team K, she told Komiharu before hand. Mii-chan already know from way back (roughly the same time as she told Juri). Tomu wasn't supposed to know, but when she talked to Shinobu at Japan Record Award (and was thoroughly investigated on her plan), Tomu overheard her. She also told everyone at 14th Gen Party (Nov 21) that her graduation is near, and she told Naachan during the 13th aniversary stage.

    I think Trinu meant she doesn't get just a normal Team K graduation stage (like Shimada Haruka, Tano Yuka and Fujita Nana recently have) but something more special. All girls that aren't fired or suspended get a graduation stage as management kind of owes that to the fans as well, but it'd be nice to have something bigger for Mako

    Apparently in Instalive Mako said that she won't have graduation concert, and she "might not" be participating in the next single.

    I missed the Instalive but found this fact mentioned on Matome site.

    I will leave it up to you guy for interpretation. [Note: I cannot find any Japanese source that she won't have graduation concert when it was posted here except for some very cryptic handshake report (which I assume is actually about the graduation concert). This seems to be the first time the news was broken to Japanese fans]

    last sunday was my last handshake with mako

    what i noticed is mako gained girlfans ALOT and they crying while waiting in line , couple of korean fans mostly MJ fan, i think MJ is more popular than namako right now lol

    my guess is after mako, juri will grad, judging by mobame seem like both of them has find a "new dream"

    and some fan speculating that mako and juri new dream is same, because the timing they found a new dream almost identical

    but i don't think mako will go for korean debut though, the reason is sunmusic, transfer agency is not easy, unless sunmusic targeting korean market i don't think she will go to korea

    mako loves korea because juri , she is not that crazy about korea

    she said at last handshake, she will go to korea though, maybe a fanmeet or just sightseeing

    She wrote a long self reflection on her Pressblog. Here are some short snippets.

    "Seriously, I have to lose weight by this day!"

    "In the morning and the afternoon, just eat regular vegetables
    It seems like something like that and I could be continued for a long time"

    "But although I myself was definitely thinner than in the past
    It is far too far for the ideal body"

    "Of course, each person has a constitution,
    Things born with you are completely different"

    "Besides, it still remains unchanged ☺ ︎
    Because I am my body, I have to face each other
    I guess this is probably not over for a lifetime
    I am on my best trying to face it with a strong feeling"

    [as someone who has been overweight his whole life, I can sympathize]
    But there is a turn in her thoughts at this point.

    "Face forward positively, one by one
    First of all, I am OK within myself so I will settle it
    I can feel confident in myself
    I like to like myself
    I think I want to become a strong woman."

    "I'm not the only ones who suffer like this
    I wish I could be a little courage for someone"

    And there is a nice ending.
    "Hey, I've talked too long ..."
    and she says she will return to these topics in the future. [my version of google]

    I don't have enough time to translate the whole thing now, so I will just correct this important part.

    (Continuing from allergy is an formidable for even for an idol)
    But, that remains unchanged.
    Because it's our body, if we don't face it,
    Nothing would change in the entire life
    So I am now in the process of trying to face myself ...

    Especially for occupation that people can see you,
    Even if you don't like it, people will land their eyes on you.
    Even if you don't like it, people whose name and face you don't know,
    will judge you by your appearance.

    (Skip)

    Facing myself going forward, one by one,
    First, you have to truly believe that you are good.
    To have confidence in yourself.
    To live by loving yourself
    To start with thinking that you want to be a strong women.

    (Skip)

    I think that a lot of people have secret thought that you can't tell anyone.

    But instead of telling, why not make it sharing? Telling each other.

    So like that, people will know that they aren't the only one with such worries. Your word might become someone courage.

    I believe so.


    [Rough translation on phone, sorry for any mistakes]

    Do you really believe it's coincidence?

    On the other hand, it seems that today's new single dance lesson. Pretty much confirmed what she mentioned in IG Live that she won't be participating in this new single.

    I just wish she would tell us already what she is going to do. Would surely do good for my state of mind.

    I think michan will get a graduation song... she is the last original member . And i think there will be a grad concert.

    I think mako will pursue a career in fashion.
