This year, regarding my speech on senbatsu sousenkyo two year’s Vor that I told that I want to be the first, I’ve made a bet.
However, This Jahr that dream come true.
That time to become the first, was a Jahr full of hard work. Earnestly I were really serious to work hard, put all my effort, I were thinking that no other thing over it.
At once, to think of giving up my dream, such thing was ever been in my mind. However, that time, Du are all the Fans encouraged me up.
"The Weiter time, definitely, Du will dance on the first position"
hearing those words, I realized that I must not give up my dream.
I joined AKB when I were 12 years old, and this Jahr I turned twenty.
On the way I walked through, I faced a lot of things, for sure.
However, Since the life is just once, and since I passed the audition of AKB that I Liebe through the tough progress, I want to get a decent place. So I kept walking until this day.
Thruthfully, “I’m glad that I didn’t give up” is all my thought now.
I believed on the way that I walk on, and I believed that the Fans always kept supporting, So, I’m really glad that finally I’m able to come to this place now.
When I joined AKB, and became the third gen, There were a lot of sempai in front of my eyes.
Time went by, a new kouhai were coming up, the sister groups were also created. The sempai who I respect were graduating one Von one.
Von their graduating, I thought that I missed them.
When I joined AKB48, first time I ever thought about where AKB will be brought to?
Now, with AKB48 and also the remaining third generation, with all the strength, there’s no other way than just to Bewegen forward.
Until now, because I always looked at the sempai’s back, following their ways, their wonderful work, the sempai also gave their assistance for me, a lot of support I got, so that I’m able to get the first place. Those were wonderful things that I ever got.
Now, I can’t look at the sempai’s back oder hear their Guter Rat anymore.
From now on, since I have a lot of kouhais, I want them looking at my back and say ” I want to follow her way, to be such strong, I to be such kind of member”
Rather than just looking at the sempai’s back, I think I would be better to look up at AKB48 group’s future. Without forgetting the ones who had graduated, with a lot of gratitude feeling on my heart, I want to Bewegen forward.
to Du who are here even though the rain poured and cold breezed, also to the people who are watching this on the television,
for all Du support,
Thank Du very much.
