It's a little early, but at least it's not September like Ai-chan. I'm so glad I'll be able to see her in October before she goes. I have so much respect for Sayu.

the wota were right about this one.

No, it was just a good guess. Yokohama Arena is the next logical step up from the Budokan. Anyone could have made that same prediction (and I think we have a few times).

plus Eri influence, same place where Eri graduated

[iceymoon]

but they also "guessed" 11/26, which is a Wednesday and therefore pretty unusual for a grad concert (or concert in general). maybe they checked when YokoAri was booked or something lol.

Most likely the show starts at 18:00, meaning they'll probably get there around 15:00 or so. Most likely girls in middle school will be done with school for the day before having this. Considering how strict UFA are with school etc I doubt they make them miss unless absolutely necessary.

if memory serves me, rehearsals were heard quite early for Budoukan concerts i've been to. like 2pm? maybe even earlier. so school must have been missed those days, or at least ended early (assuming it wasn't a no-class day). YokoAri might require more rehearsal time, especially if they have to walk around the venue for parts.

omg i'm remembering how big this venue is. i'm so happy for them! this is going to be fun for 9/10/11ki since it's their first time.

I bet it's cheaper to book an arena on a weekday then it is on a weekend. ;D

I wont be able to book my plane ticket till Wednesday but I'm excited to finally have a date!

[Sohee]

Depending on the schedule they might be able to rehearse the day before?
But yeah or they might be missing of course, or just get out early. Who knows how these girls' schedules look. xD

Either way.

Yokohama Arena. So happy about this.
Now let there be a short 6ki reunion. Not holding my breath but but but ;~;

ABOUT Last Single

“This time we’ll have a triple A-side single! “TIKI BUN” is very cool, represents Morning Musume of today. I am very happy that Tsunku♂-san made my last single so cool. Besides, “Syabadaba Do” is my solo song! Despite there’s been almost no solo part in a single for eleven years, and yet he gave me all part of a single at last, it’s like a miracle! “Mikaeri Bijin” on the other hand, is a track that the nine members except me sing. Those three songs have a really different face, so I hope you’ll like them!”

With Only 100 Days To Go Before Graduation

“I’ve been in the group for more than 4000 days. Given such background, having 100 days left sounds very unfamiliar to me. I am of course very pleased to have my last at a huge hall like Yokohama Arena but, holding my last concert with these members means more, and my pleasure. Everyone please come to support us!”
