"Former SKE48 talent Miki Yakata (28) appeared on the 11th in an online lecture "Looking forward, step by step.-Let's know the cancer of the AYA generation". Yakata, who underwent total left mastectomy and lymph node resection for breast cancer in April 2018, is currently receiving hormone therapy and visits the hospital once every three months. In the lecture, she talked about his experience in cancer treatment. Recently, she has been active as a voice actor, which was her dream, and stated her enthusiasm, "I wish I could become an opportunity for various people to get to know anime culture." Unlike the idol era, romance is also lifted. "At first, I thought I couldn't have a romance because I was ill, but there are times when I want to have a romance," she said. "I'm saying that there are people I like. It sells so much that I'm enthusiastic about it. I'll do my best," she said with a laugh." https://www.sanspo.com/geino/news/20210211/akb21021116470002-n1.html
Always glad to see an update on her, and for it to be positive - nice to see her getting work in the field she really wanted, and becoming kind of an advocate for encouraging women to get regularly screened.

I am touched by their performance. Jurina suffered so much as ske and akb member and Mikiti suffered so much after graduation with cancer. Both were so emotional and almost cried but hold their tears. I almost cried while watching..
