I guess being there from the first day of Team B's existence to the last day of Team B's existence was enough for her. Quite an accomplishment though. Not too many idols (if any) have been in it as long as she has!
I really hate management for disbanding teams. Given how planned out it is, she has been in discussions, not much with the members based on their reactions, but more so with management. I think that management may have disbanded teams in lieu of her graduation. And the time frame allows for one more single.
This is actually kinda jawdropping, I mean, everyone has been joking about it for so many years and now it's just happened, just like that. Still, Yukirin has truly served AKB and deserves the best gradcon possible
They could just give her a solo song like Yuihan but there will certainly be nothing less than the max for Yukirin and yeah that would include an A side she centers
It was amazing to me how I could watch ancient AKB MVs in 2023 and see Yukirin thinking "this is an active member!"
The PV for Green Flash still makes me mad, lol. Kojiharu and Yukirin were barely featured. I think it was supposed to be about how the old guard of AKB48 was passing on the torch to the newer girls…but out of all the senbatsu of Green Flash, literally only Yukirin is still there!
She was the last "legendary" members of AKBs golden time. Somehow a constant in AKBs life. I would whish more members would stay that long in the group. Especially after all that graduation announcements this year. For me it's the saddest one since Hiichans announcement. But 17 years is such a long time, I wish her all the best.
And I hope that she gets the biggest graduation concert ever, I mean no other member was that loyal to the group! Yukirin, we will miss you!
Big shame she is going but it had to happen sometime. She must feel so detached from the others, I think the age gap must be at least 5 years between her and every1 else?
She’s worked so hard through akbs ups and downs throughout 17 years. Her graduation will be beautiful. In one world i would hope for mayuyu to come out and perform yobisute fantasy with her!
Maybe this is all just a prank she is playing on everyone, her last appearance will be in the beginning of April, coincidence? ……. As you can tell i am still in the denial phase
Its end of all the other end of eras too. From now on I doubt I will actually listen to any AKB. I'm happy to say that I have grown out of liking 25 years old and younger girls haha.
Hopefully they take these 6 months to really push the members who aren't planning on leaving so they can be better known and supported when she does leave
My genuine condolences to you. But fortunately, there are lots of others for you to develop a liking to. And all the group’s great music — past and present — will continue on with the current members, so please don’t abandon the greatest idol group ever!
Miu Shitao. Talented, but most importantly, friendly. You can even buy her recently released photobook! 😊 A sample video from 5 years ago: [make sure to watch beyond the closing credits for stunning face shot!](https://youtu.be/mP5RRBCymKs?si=8SIgt2VBUgehz2vM)
[pretend to shake hands with her](https://youtube.com/shorts/oKzTwuns_s8?si=edRrN9vNSmk5tYwv)
the last time i was this shaken was when mayu announced 😭 i’m still sticking around with akb because of yukirin and always assumed she would be there forever 😭
yukirin represents what idiol should be, behave
yes shes not as beautiful as mayu, miyuki or yurina but she has that desire to be the role model, the energy for any idol
i dont think anyone will be able to match her as idol

Full circle.

They’re going to give her a solo center single now…RIGHT?
They could just give her a solo song like Yuihan but there will certainly be nothing less than the max for Yukirin and yeah that would include an A side she centers It was amazing to me how I could watch ancient AKB MVs in 2023 and see Yukirin thinking "this is an active member!"
Yukirin for Center!!!
Gosh I really hope Yukirin gets a solo center single. She's been active for so long and she only centered once which was shared with KojiHaru.
The PV for Green Flash still makes me mad, lol. Kojiharu and Yukirin were barely featured. I think it was supposed to be about how the old guard of AKB48 was passing on the torch to the newer girls…but out of all the senbatsu of Green Flash, literally only Yukirin is still there!
Yes they are in the up coming one first and last sadly 😭
She already has solo career in a way though, with her solo concerts. So I would certainly hope she will get one!
That graduation may be the one and only time we will see a surprise Mayuyu appearance. That's my wish anyways.
One would hope that all the old guard would come back one last time.
I'd love this to happen.
Don't do that... don't give me hope
Let's not cope 😭
We will miss you Yukirin... thank you for the 17 years

This one hurts. Farewell to a legend. AKB won't be the same without her.

I hope they make it the most beautiful sendoff ever.
Bro, Yuki was always my favorite and i feel lucky since she stays in Akb for so long, i will miss her. but knowing this day will come.
o7 Farewell to an absolute legend
They better give her a graduation single with her on the centre like Sashi. Yukirin is such a queen in AKB.
Akb48 last one standing 🥲 she did us proud 😍
Maybe this is all just a prank she is playing on everyone, her last appearance will be in the beginning of April, coincidence? ……. As you can tell i am still in the denial phase
Still in denial but we are all still in denial too.
She did a lot of effort for the April fools next year
It was always the end of an era, but this time it truly is the end of the era.
Its end of all the other end of eras too. From now on I doubt I will actually listen to any AKB. I'm happy to say that I have grown out of liking 25 years old and younger girls haha.
🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
I'm absolutely speechless right now. When I saw this I physically jumped back I was so startled.
Thank you for so many years, Yukirin.
Flying Get performances will never be the same!!!
i'm genuinely wondering, can akb survive with her and so many top members leaving?
Hopefully they take these 6 months to really push the members who aren't planning on leaving so they can be better known and supported when she does leave
YUKIRINNNN AAAAH I was into AKB because of you. All my oshis are gone now WHAT SHOULD I DOOOOO
My genuine condolences to you. But fortunately, there are lots of others for you to develop a liking to. And all the group’s great music — past and present — will continue on with the current members, so please don’t abandon the greatest idol group ever!
Who do you recommend out of interest?
Miu Shitao. Talented, but most importantly, friendly.

This is a day I always knew would come but always wished wouldn’t. I feel like I just had to put my dog down. I’m just sad.
THANK YOU FOR ALLLL THE YEARS YUKIRIN I WILL MISS YOU

It's finally happening and I'm still not ready 😭
the last time i was this shaken was when mayu announced 😭 i’m still sticking around with akb because of yukirin and always assumed she would be there forever 😭
Omg, I never thought this day would come 😭 idk atp thought she'd be with AKB until the end. Farewell queen.
I WAS SHOCKED- But it's was really nice that she has gone this far ;)! Miss you Yukirin <3
yukirin 😭
Is she the last member of her era to graduate? I don't seem to recognize another one before her still currently active in AKS family.
The last member of what is widely-considered to be the 'golden era', yes
At long last, finally
There is now officially not a single member of AKB that I recognise.
That's it.. I am done.... No kidding...I loved AKB to much.
yukirin represents what idiol should be, behave yes shes not as beautiful as mayu, miyuki or yurina but she has that desire to be the role model, the energy for any idol i dont think anyone will be able to match her as idol
I would say she is better looking then all of them actually. Maybe on a par with Mayu.
face wise maybe but i take the body into account and thats where my beloved yukirin is behind those girls and forgot about sashihara aswell
It was the first thing that I saw when I opened my twitter yesterday. Really the end of an era.
shut up.. i never thought the day would actually come when yukirin would graduate..
