    That's so sad.. even with ggl translate 19121711_773600306133508_4017022979975151616_n.jpg https://www.instagram.com/p/BVcdfK4FPNK/?hl=en
    @James Torralba:
    Thank you so much for all the last general elections who supported us. As a result I never set up on that stage. This general election was the last chance for me to sing AKB's songs written by Professor Akimoto. There was something really painful outside the service for eight consecutive years. My efforts may not have been headed by the general election, but there is a way for each person to be rewarded. Junior members are also important in ranking in, but I wish I had a place to work hard without losing sight of them. I could not leave results with figures, but I would be happy if it was a memorable member. However, I am glad that I ran a candidacy this time too! You can share joy and regret at that place! Thanks to all the fans that I think so. Thank you. So do not say sorry. I love AKB48!

    she's always underrated, sigh. I really like her with the platinum blonde hair too, really makes her cute.

    I know she is a tough girl, but don't know why she doesn't have more votes over the years :(

    She ended with 8 years or kengai in her AKB career. She said she is just wanted to be part of of song by Aki-p. This was her last chance. Even thought she wasn't able to leave a mark in the rankings but she left with a bunch of good memories.

    Yep Shimada put up a good long fight, a battle hardened veteran member that is respected by myself. I won't forget the memories and contribution of her in the group over the years.

    I literally cried when I realized she didn't rank. :(:(:(:(:(:(
    I don't have any reason to follow AKB48 after she graduates. She's my one true bias. T_T

    Last Dec I went to AKB's handshake event in Osaka, but Shimada was absent due to sickness.
    Then she announced her graduation this year. I thought I lost the chance to see her again. But luckily this chance came.
    In the event, the MC mentioned that Yuria and Shimada actually asked for going overseas to say thank you to fans before their graduation.

    <Report on my last Handshake with Shimada @Hong Kong on 2017.07.08>
    As expected, Shimada's line was much shorter than Yui or Yuria (number of tickets sold was probably around 1:5).
    Originally I bought 2 handshake tickets only, but I bought 3 more at the end to keep the line as much as I can possibly do.
    Each ticket included the handshake and a signed A4-size poster (with the fan's name).

    There were plenty of time to talk, probably because the line was fairly short.
    My Japanese is not that good, but luckily the HK staff was able to make some simple translations.

    I wore AKB48 Tokyo Dome Concert's Team 4 T-shirt from 2012.
    And I hanged my phone on my neck, showing the 2-shot with Shimada in 2014 (when there was still no table in between).
    I also had a cap with Shimada's name (my friend designed it for me before).

    (Ticket 1)
    When I walked towards Shimada, she already took notice of the photo on my phone.
    She felt very surprised and pointed at it. Then she even took my phone and asked a Japanese staff to have a look.
    This was probably the moment when she had the highest tension.
    She said she looked fairly chunky, and I said, "No, kawaii as always".
    Then I said I supported her since kenkyuusei, and she thanked me a lot.
    On the poster, she also wrote a sentence for thanking me to attend the 2-shot event before.

    I said I listened to AKB48今夜は帰らない before.
    She reacted and said "A! Miorin ga? Paruru?"
    I said yes, and although I could not understand, I still kept listening to it.
    She said she was very impressed by that.

    (Ticket 2)
    I used a different name for poster signing as I would give it to a friend.
    And I told her that my friend needed to work and hence could not come.
    Shimada wrote on the poster and gave support to my friend on this job.

    Then I showed her my cap.
    She was quite surprised and happy to see her name.
    And she noticed the tennis ball in the design, and said "Tennis, love tennis".
    Her shocked reaction was even bigger and I told her that the cap was self-designed.

    Then I talked about the Osaka handshake event last year.
    She said she could not go due to influenza and apologized to me.
    I said it's ok and felt very glad for her to come to Hong Kong this time.

    (Ticket 3)
    As I already had a signed poster, so I said it's ok not to sign another poster with my name on it.
    I said it's ok for Shimada to write anything.
    But the Hong Kong staff said just write any name, and Shimada said how about nickname.
    So I gave her another name of mine, and this time she asked me to teach her how to pronounce it.

    Because the names were in English, I asked Shimada about her English level.
    She said a little bit.
    Then I said in English "Do you understand what I am saying?"
    She said in English "Yes".
    Anyway, I didn't intend to test her English level further, so we continued.

    At that time, she was drawing on the poster, adding two circles on her hair.
    She said those are "Cha Siu Bao" (BBQ pork bun).
    And that's the 3 members' hair style that night (a panda look).

    Then I asked her whether she tried mango pudding (which many AKB members like).
    She said no, and asked me whether it really tasted that good.
    I said yes, and told her that she must try.

    (Ticket 4)
    I said this was the last ticket (which was really the case at that time).
    Shimada directly wrote my name without asking me (although there was an extra "K" written").
    So she corrected it and signed another poster for me.

    This time I talked about my feeling about her these years.
    How good she is as an idol. How nice she is etc.
    She was very carefully listening to me when I said these.

    Lastly I congratulated her graduation and pretended to cry a bit.
    She opened her arms and showed a hugging motion.
    I also pretended to hug her (which I knew I could not do).

    The staff and Shimada were all so happy looking at these.
    But when I left, the security guard said he was so scared at that time. :lol:
    As the next fan was still getting ready for the handshake, I did the long distance hug with Shimada again, and she did the same.

    Then I said thank you again, and waved bye.

    (Ticket 5)
    Due to my friend's persuasion, I purchased an additional ticket at the end.

    When Shimada saw me, she was surprised and showed a little angry face.
    She said something else (like complaining that I lied) and I didn't understand.
    Anyway, I said I was just kidding, but this was the real last ticket.
    She still remembered my name although it was like 10 minutes after my last handshake.

    I talked about the large ramen in the recent episode of Tofu Pro Wrestling.
    I asked whether she actually finished it.
    She made a small laugh first, and then said she ate a lot but did not finish it.
    The ramen was delicious too.

    I said there were also many delicious food in Hong Kong.
    She mentioned Dandan Noodles. I said it tasted better in Taiwan.
    Then she mentioned quite a few kinds of food (she really did some research [hehe]).
    And I recommended her egg waffle ("gai dan zai") and she followed me saying it in Cantonese (which is fairly difficult to pronounce).
    The staff helped to translate and explained what it is, and Shimada had a face showing that she really wanted to try.

    Then I asked the staff to help me translate and said I wished her being blessed in her coming lifetime.
    And Shimada replied and wished me the same.

    We had a two hands high touched, then I left.
    When I left, she said "I Love you" in English.

    And this completed my day of handshake.

    <Some final feelings>
    Shimada was actually sick yesterday (although not as bad as Yuria).
    Her tension was really high when I used the first 2 tickets, probably because she didn't expect a long supporting fan in Hong Kong.
    And I do love her smile. It was so kind, warm and lovely.
    When I used the 4th ticket, and when I thought about it was the last time I saw her, I really had some moving mood.
    But I am so glad that at least I can say some words to her in person for her graduation.

    Ditto. Thanks for the great report and thanks for representing all her fans that couldn't be there.
