Producer Akimoto Yasushi commented, “Congratulations on becoming unofficial members. You have now become a part of SKE48’s 5th generation, so combine your power and do your best.” Meanwhile, SKE48’s manager Hiroshi Yuasa firmly stated, “The real difficult part starts now. I want them to have self-awareness and move forward.”

The 16 ladies will continue with lessons, and after their progress gets observed, will move on to becoming ‘official’ 5th generation members of SKE48.
