On the 29th, AKB48 member Katayama Yoka (23 years old) held a graduation performance at the AKB48 Theater in Akihabara, Tokyo.
Yoka Katayama joined AKB48 along with Mayo Watanabe and Yuki Kashiwaki as a third-term student. In their graduation performances, Aso Watanabe and Tanabe joined Katayama Yoko's squad and sang the song "Pure Sentimentalism" with Katayama Yoka as the center. Dressed in a big red dress, Katayama Yoka performed the rapid rotation he was good at, making the venue boiling. Mayo Watanabe can't help but sigh that "singing 'pure emotion' in the current formation is both the first and the last time", and seems to be reluctant to graduate from Katayama Yoko in the same period.
In addition, Aika Tada, a member of HKT48, who was also a third-term student, came to the scene with flowers in her hand, and Haruka Nakagawa of JKT48 also sent a video greeting. Yuki Kashiwagi, who is also an NMB48, happened to have an NMB48 performance (Pacifico Yokohama) on this day, and although a video greeting had been sent in advance, after the NMB48 performance, Yuki Kashiwaki rushed to the scene wearing an NMB48 team uniform. At the end of the performance, the five people at the same time sang "Dandelion Determination" while shedding tears, and the fans on the scene shouted Katayama Yoko's name over and over again.
Recalling his life at AKB48, Yoka Katayama said that 7 and a half years, while sounding like a long time, passed before they knew it. "Every day I have had a wonderful time. The members and staff have always been by my side to support me, and there are so many fans who like me, and I am really happy to be here. "Katayama Yoka will continue to be active in the entertainment industry as a musical theater actor in the future." From now on, I have to work harder than I did at AKB48. Please continue to support me in the future until I stand on the stage of the Imperial Theater," Katayama Yoshika made up his mind, smiling and waving to the audience. (Compiler: Lan Xiaoyu)
