Itano Tomomi’s Blog: みんなへ To everyone

jurinaoshi:

板野友美
AKB48卒業します。
Itano Tomomi will graduate AKB48.

いきなりで
驚かせてしまってすみません。
I am sorry for surprising with you with such a sudden announcement.



私は１期生として
７年２ヶ月AKBで過ごしてきました。
I spent 7 years and 2 months as the first generation of AKB.



ｾﾝﾀｰになることや
総監督やｷｬﾌﾟﾃﾝみたいに
みんなをまとめたりすることも
あんまりなかったけど
みんなの『AKB48』の中に
『板野友美』が刻まれ
てたら嬉しいです！
Although I was unable to stand at centre and unify everyone together like a captain or Soukantoku, but if in everybody’s 「AKB48」 I would be very happy if  「Itano Tomomi」 had been engraved within it. 


昨年AKBの夢だった
東京ﾄﾞｰﾑの夢を叶え
Last year the concert at Tokyo dome, which had been the dream for AKB, came true

敦子が卒業して
And Atsuko Graduated


AKBの事、自分の未来
真剣に考えました。
And I thought of AKB, and my future very seriously.

そして
AKB48を卒業すること
が私の出した決断です。
And to graduate from AKB48 was the decision I arrived at. 

AKBで活動してきた７年の間に
辛くてやめたい、
逃げ出したいと思い
卒業を考えた事も
たくさんありました。
In my 7 years as AKB I would have painful times when I would want to run away and escape, and I have thought of graduation many times.

でもその『卒業』には
どこか迷いがありました
But in that 「graduation」there would be some hesitation somewhere.



でも、今回の決断にもう迷いはないです。
However, this time, I have no worries and hesitations. 

正直、不安もたくさんあります。
でも、今一歩踏み出さなきゃ絶対後悔すると思って
出した答えです。
In all honesty, there are some things that I am worried about. But, if I do not step out now, I know I will regret it, and this is the answer I have given. 

幼い頃から
なにをするにも飽きっぽい
私がこのAKBを７年間も続けてこれたのは
本当にAKB48が
大好きだったから。
Since I was little, I had the tendency to lose interest in anything that I did, and the fact that I have been able to carry on for 7 years is because I really love AKB48. 


そして
ﾒﾝﾊﾞｰ、
秋元先生率いるｽﾀｯﾌ、
ﾌｧﾝのみなさん、
And to the members, the Staff and Akimoto Sensei, and to the Fans, 

AKBに関わるすべての方に
感謝します。
わがままだった14歳の私を
ここまで育ててくれて
ありがとうございます！
And all those who are connected to AKB48, I really appreciate all you have done. Thank you for raising the selfish and childish 14 year old to what I am now.



では、AKB48としていられる
残り少ない日々を
大切に過ごします。
I will spend my limited days as AKB48 valuably. 



友の青春のすべてはAKB48でした
AKB48 had been all of Tomo’s childhood.   

Tomo.

Because relevant for Kumi’s case.
I woke up this  morning and the first thing I did was reading this post from my phone, and my day suddenly got better somehow.
First, read this, please, ‘cause this is the post she refers to.

(Corre・ω・ction)

It’s Rena.(・ω・)


In the post I wrote yesterday about Kumi I expressed in a way that could lead to misunderstandings so let me correct myself.

I wrote that Kumi would’ve left the entertainment business, but I forgot to add the word “temporarily”.
I reread the post, and felt like I could cause a misunderstanding.
I’m really sorry.

During tomorrow’s hand-shake event, Kumi will have again something to say to everyone.



Right now our theatre is under construction, but I really hope I’ll be able to stand on the stage of our new theatre together with Kumi.



(Re・ω・na)

Now let me say what I think.
Judging by how she wrote yesterday’s post, I think Rena didn’t made any mistake while writing, but that she just didn’t properly read Kumi’s post and missed the word “temporarily”. Or maybe that, like I myself did, thought that the “temporarily” referred only to the previous times she thought about the graduation. I don’t know about the translations of Kumi’s post available, but anyway, what she says in that particular part is “It’s about one year now that I’m thinking about temporarily graduating from the 48 Groups”.
So…I think Rena might’ve corrected herself after talking with Kumi.
But maybe I’m just randomly speculating in order to see some ray of hope of seeing Kumi around once again.

I had to share this because for some reason it was painful to read Eriko’s apology…

lol actually i won’t just limit this to usa48 members

lets use this tinychat room for the stream

yankeesoul48:

never mind being a piece of confetti at the olympics

being a petal at acchans grad is where its at

Acchan's parade was canceled due to safety reasons →

mochichan00:

Oh come on~ I doubt there will be over 500k people there tho….

But since there were over 200k people applied for the theater show + casual/random people on the street who want to see the event since it’s a big deal, it might lead to around 250k - 300k people maybe?

More than 220,000 people applied for Maeda Atsuko's Graduation →

Once again I realized today how much love and support I have

This is really late

I always do nothing but act tough, but I’m really just a fool

Today I really had to face the real me that’s in my heart, which made me lose my bearings
But
I was also my happiest

The real me is a small small, very small and weak person

Aah
Tamori-san and the staff of Music Station

The fans who always watch over me

The members

Thank you all so much (;__;)

But

I wanted to properly sing the songs to you all… (T.T)

I’m really sorry

I’ll definitely be able to do it at the Dome


But maybe that’s just impossible for me… (;_;) lol




No

Starting tomorrow

I’ll look forward again

I’ll look toward the Dome

I’ll look toward my last theater performance

I’ll look toward my graduation

And I will walk

Goodnight everyone

To be honest, I feel really confused, but since Rika-chan positively decided this, I’m going to properly accept it.
