Tashima Meru (Meru) / 2nd Generation

The end is near.

Today was the day of my last live event. Only the graduation performance is left. Ah, I sang this song as if I was the last to sing it Did it arrive?

I have too many memories. Our summer is here! You can go wild, jump to keep up with the cold, run upstairs with a dash, move to the next place by bus at the end of the performance, or get on the elevator crammed. I feel lonely when I wonder if there isn't one.

You've seen a lot of scenery together with everyone. It was fun ~.

Three days from tomorrow with a lot of gratitude in my heart. Run through to the graduation performance

Nice to meet you ✌️

Interview in Entame Next. Part of it covers her descent from center to not being in the the 9th single [Bagutte Iijan], and why she didn't quit.



"It was no wonder that her shocking development that her center-experienced person was selected out gave up her path as an idol. Yes, I was wondering if it was Meru Tashima who would graduate first among the four who named her first.

"Well, I've thought" Let's give up ... "many times. At that time, Professor Yasushi Akimoto said," Are you rushing to see the results in front of you? Life is like a marathon. If you look at it in the long run and run straight, you will surely see the future. "

But I think I couldn't do anything by myself. I was able to continue my activities as a member of HKT48 because of the support of all the fans. Anyway, I set a goal and always send it out, but the fans also run together toward that goal. That's why the sense of accomplishment when you reach your goal is tremendous! Let's get over it together and see the scenery beyond it. It was a day that I couldn't really replace anything.

I can still say, "Oh, I'm really glad I didn't give up at that time and didn't quit!", Isn't it? I think that's because I was able to graduate in a good way like this, but if I quit halfway through, I might have felt comfortable at that time, but I also said, "Why? I think I regretted that I quit, and if HKT48 appeared on TV, I would have had a very complicated feeling. I want to tell this to my juniors. Even if you decide to quit or give up, you should think carefully once. "

She says she has been thinking about graduation for the past few years.

"The first thing I was conscious of was when I saw off Sashiko-chan (Rino Sashihara) (April 2019). At that time, rather than thinking about graduating immediately, I made a solid path to graduate. I had to go. It wasn't until 2021 that I actually started thinking about graduation. I made a proper order and made a path. Just before and after the MV shooting of "SNS WOELD" So, I was officially told about the transfer to the office. So, at the time of the 10th anniversary performance in November, I was already on the stage thinking "This is the last anniversary performance." I didn't have it, but after all there was something that came up. I was able to make super memories in those two days, Ahahaha! ”The 10th anniversary performance will show all 100 songs over two days. Although it was a dynamic composition, the set list, which traces the history of 10 years with all the members, became a memorable memory for the members who had decided to graduate."

"Meru Tashima (22), a second-generation student who continued to play an active role at the forefront of the group, such as acting as the center for HKT48's 1st single, 　gave a graduation performance at the " West Japan City Bank HKT48 Theater" in Fukuoka City on the 14th. Mio Tomonaga (23), a graduate of the same period, appeared at her finale, revived "Merumio" who colored the early days of her group, and added flowers to the final chapter of her ally's idol life.

In the final speech, she thanked the staff and her family for their support, and also expressed her thoughts to her senior, Rino Sashihara, saying, "I wouldn't be here without Sashiko-chan."
