6/8 Yukirin News Roundup

AKB48 held their concert at Nissan, in front 70,000 fans. After the concert, was their 32nd Single Senbatsu Sousenkyo.

As part of the concert setlist, Yukirin performed Temodemo no Namida with Sae. Fans went crazy over this pairing, calling them Prince and Princess, as Sae was wearing a white tuxedo outfit~

As for the election…

Yukirin finished 4th with 96,905 votes!

In Summary… Thanks the fans, at events, fans told her that all the fans are really united. I once again feel the love from everyone today. Even though she is 3rd gen, with senpai (seniors) and kouhai (junior members), she doesn’t have the confidence to tell the younger generation members to come at her. So probably, I haven’t done a good job at supporting the junior members. AKB is very important to her. To stand on stage, to meet fans at handshake events, she feels very blessed. Yukirin hopes that in 5, 10, 20, 30 years, AKB will be a group that everyone loves, that is her goal. Personally, she also hopes that one day everyone will tell their child and grandchild that “there was an idol named Kashiwagi Yuki, I was a big fan of her”. That is my dream, to become someone like that. I will work hard this year to thank everyone, to surpass the thanks you gave me as return.
(Ok, that’s pretty much her speech)

Yukirin’s mom gave her the annual watermelon message of congrats.
