[Concert] AKB48グループ春コンin さいたまスーパーアリーナ～ 思い出は全部ここに捨てていけ！～ SKE48単独コンサート | AKB48 Group Spring Concert @ SSA - SKE48 Solo Concert

Being the first formed sister group of AKB48, SKE48 also started the sister group's solo concerts at Saitama Super Arena first on the 4th of April. This concert is also the first one where the new teams formed during the big reformation, performed for the first time in a concert.
 
New teams performed which means the new transferred members and also concurrency members stood on stage for the first time as a SKE member as well~

Sae, Milky, Boss and Suzuran for Team S, Nana and Minarun for Team KII, and Suuchan and Marika for Team E~ All of them were able to perform one team song in their new teams and participate in unit songs~ It is really interesting and exciting to see them performing as SKE members because some of them for example, Milky, Suzuran, Nana, and Suuchan are some members that I never imagine to be performing SKE songs or as a SKE member, but I can't wait to see the performance when this concert is released!!! Hope they had fun during the concert~

Now looking at the setlist, I'm pretty happy with it and it looks enjoyable~

• I love how they started the concert with a non-stop singles songs performances~ So that means not stopping for 14 songs in a row since all members are performing together. Really hardcore right there SKE... no wonder SKE girl's "amount of sweat are outstanding" (￣ω￣)
• The new team S centers are Jucchan and Uha as expected... since the old ace Manatsu graduated and Yuria transferring to AKB... I'm still so sad about this...!!! Uha is not bad but I'm just so used to Manatsu being there now... (ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ
• Yumechi being the KKS center for Yuudachi no mae~~~~ YAY!!!
• Ookami to pride with Yuria and Milky?? This is one that I wanna see~ But I wonder who will be in Yuria's position after she transfers to AKB... especially with Seifuku no me stage back on...
• OMG.... Darkness again~~ Them SKE girls just look too cool in them suits....!!!!! Darkness is seriously a damn cool song...! ( ´ ▽ ` )

For those that might not know this, but this concert is also Kizaki Yuria's last concert as a SKE48 member before she becomes an AKB48 member... She has always been there since nearly the beginning of SKE...being a regular senbatsu member ever since "Gomen ne SUMMER" and always part of the front girls with Jurina, Rena, Kuumin, Churi, Manatsu and so on...

When you mention and talk about SKE, you sure will think of wMatsui since they are like the "face" of SKE but you will also know the name "Kizaki Yuria" because she is such an important member for SKE and means THAT much to all of us... In the above image, the SKE girls all wrote a message to Yuria on that huge piece of *something like a banner* which is so touching.... And her signature Yuria peace sign, along with her smile, is surely something the SKE family will miss alot... (If you guys are all wondering why I put "Peace out (・∀・>)" at the end of my every post and where it came from, it is of course from Yuria since she is one of my oshimen...) But no matter what, us fans will support her in achieving her dream no matter where she goes!!

Before moving on to the setlist, I'll post a segment of Yuria's speech during the concert... She is such an amazing girl you cannot not love her...

"If I’m the person I am now, is because such a lot of people has been supporting SKE. I’ll end up being transferred but, bringing with me SKE’s spirit, I’ll work hard so that one day I’ll be able to say “I’m back”." - Kizaki Yuria (Translated by mahoushoujoari@tumblr)

[Concert] AKB48単独＆グループ 春コン in 国立競技場～思い出は全部ここに捨てていけ！～ | AKB48 Spring Concert @ National Olympic Stadium | Day 1

Credit: modelpress@mdpr.jp

Finally, the AKB48G were able to sing, dance and perform for tens of thousands of fans on the stage of National Olympic Stadium for their spring concert yesterday. Firstly, I want to congratulate the girls again for being the first ever girl group to hold a concert in the holy Olympic Stadium, and will probably be the last to perform on this stage as the stadium will be taken down to be rebuilt for the new 2020 Summer Olympics stadium later in the year.

As for the setlist, we were able to see some songs which don't get performed very often. And there were more team songs than unit songs, which I think it is because this will be the last concert for the girls in their current teams before the new teams are taken in place... (I'm still not over the big reformation...) Also, there weren't as much MCs as compared to the other concerts. There were only 4 MCs, but due to this, the girls were able to perform a total of 55 songs which I prefer more than MCs. Overall, the setlist is pretty well done by management~

During the encore of yesterday's concert, AKB48 performed the next single titled "Labrador Retriever" for the first time!!! Such a cute title~ I'm also happy and glad that Mayu got the center position that she deserved~ (｡･ω･｡) We were also able to see the whole performance as some channels were live broadcasting the performance~ To watch the performance, click on the image for a link to Dailymotion~↓↓↓

Yesterday's concert ended with no problem and was very successful, but that also means we are one step closer towards Yuko's graduation concert which will be tonight at the same venue of National Olympic Stadium... I reckon we will all be crying a river just like Takamina since Yuko is such an important member for AKB48 and it will be so different without her being in AKB48 anymore just like Acchan... But let us be with Yuko till the very last minute of her being an AKB48 member and make tonight a night Yuko will always remember because it will be the best graduation concert ever...!

*UPDATE* Yuko's graduation concert on the 30th of March was suspended due to bad weather. We will be informed when the graduation concert will take place later in the future.
*UPDATE 2* The date of Yuko's graduation of the 30th of March will be changed to the 8th of June, a day after the election and the venue of the concert will also change to Ajinomoto Stadium which is the same place where general election will take place.

~Happy Birthday Mayuyu ^O^~

On the 26th of March, 1994 in Saitama prefecture, a perfect little bundle of joy entered the world by the name of Watanabe Mayu. Who knew this little 赤ちゃん ...

Isn't she precious? *O*

Blowing kisses at the age of two and a half hehe ^__^

...Would blossom into a talented, successful, beautiful, intelligent lady she is today. 
If you follow my posts, you should know by now that Mayuyu is my Kami-oshi. She takes a special place in my heart that no other member can take away. Mayu participated in 成人式 (seijin shiki) which is a coming-of-age ceremony. Because the age '20' is a very important age in Japan, I want to show you guys a little snippet of her Journey to adulthood (through photos), and all her life achievements this amazing woman has achieved so far.
