As I posted upthread, today I attended Okichan's PB signing event at Shibuya Tsutaya. There was seven 30-minute slots each with 70 signings. Presumably these were done in order of application as I applied on the first day of sales and I was allocated a ticket for the second slot. The signings took place up on the 8th floor of the store in a special event room. Okichan was behind a clear plastic screen wearing a white dress. She didn't speak very much to any of the customers, presumably she was saving her voice as she seemed to be in a happy mood with plenty of smiles (and I'm pleased to say that she looks very pretty close up). With me, she just spoke to confirm my name (I had to write it in Katakana as Romaji wasn't allowed) and then I said in Japanese that I'm an STU48 fan from England. I was then handed the signed book by a staff member standing next her and I waved goodbye to her. That was it, other than I could stay and watch a 'making' video of her PB. Here's my signed copy: And here's a photo of her from the store's official Twitter: https://twitter.com/SHIBUYATSUTAYA/status/1654412827527090176 EDIT: Comment video: if the video does not show watch the video here

PB Making Movie (I'm pretty sure this is the one I saw at her signing event in Tokyo): if the video does not show watch the video here
Okichan has posted a video on her channel for the first time in a few months, a 'behind' of the 10th single release event in Hiroshima: if the video does not show watch the video here
Official notice: https://sp.stu48.com/news/detail/16999 No final activity date has yet been decided. Her comments (via Google Translate):
That's actually sad, as she was one of the prettier STU48 members. But somehow I guessed it. I hoped, Fukuda Akari would be the next one to leave. I also guess Takao Sayaka, Osaki Serika, Kojima Aiko, Muneyuki Risa, Fukuda Akarai, Imamura Mitsuki, Ishida Minami, Hyodo Aoi, Mineyoshi Arisa & Nakamura Mai, all to leave next year. Let's see if I am right. To me Oki Yuka's or even Yumirin's announcement is the starting point, for other members to realize, that they could graduate too. STU48 remains a mystery to me. Starting with most members already being in their twenties, or one or two years apart, waiting an entire year to release the denut single & waiting another year to release their second single. When the group begun to rise, their original ace was already 24.
With the 10th single promotion I took the opportunity to get both a signed individual CD jacket and a cheki from her which have just arrived, and now she's announced graduation I'm very happy I did that:
