https://twitter.com/akb_trainee48/status/1655147960416735232 Kasumin's introduction, part 2 Showing her hobby of collecting "Goshuin" from temples and shrines! She has more than 120 of these collected! *notes: Goshuin are large stamps, handwritten by monks, that work as a kind of proof that you have visited a specific temple or shrine. Simple in concept, this document is full of symbolic, religious, and historical meanings. (source) https://www.tiktok.com/@akb48_official_tiktok/video/7230374413953289474

Happy 18th Birthday Kasumin! It's a bit sad to celebrate your happy day when you are sick and missed your big day, but hopefully she'll recover soon! I miss her almost daily showroom Azu tweeted for best wishes and sent some pics from their Disneyland trip: https://twitter.com/azuki_yagi0322/status/1669199818391166977 Azu is the only one who says she's healthy though.... Yumemin was reportedly getting well enough, while the rest of 18ki still in "unwell" condition. In the meantime, some old pics:
Clip of her birthday showroom: if the video does not show watch the video here Aichan was present when 18ki were doing rehearsal for POPFES. Kasumin already knew she can't join by that point, and was down and almost cried. Aichan consoles Kasumin, because she was unable to join POPFES last year, she knows the exact feeling. Yukitan was there too Kasumin was very thankful of their support and her genmates LINE messages, lifting her spirits during that period. full birthday showroom here www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x1TSS1VCTw Just watched OO48 and she was the only one left out, so double hit I hope her focus on social media and talk skills will be fruitful in her own way. But she seems to be past that and back to her usual smiles: from HADO with Yunachan:
Kasumin was sad because she didn't get chosen for the U-22 where half of her gen were chosen. if the video does not show watch the video here She recognizes that the current situation is favorable for her & KKS in general, also thankful for getting another KKS song in the new single, but she can't help but feeling "kuyashii" (frustrated) of being left behind. Perhaps getting eliminated early in OO48 is also a factor of getting that feel. I hope she can be more popular! I think in 18ki she's one of the best MC/speaker! At least she's starting to sell well on handshakes! 2nd place in 18ki behind Yunachan, with 1 sold out slot and another 1 almost sold out.
Kasumin putting pressure to the fans before 19ki comes. "I'll seriously cry if you oshihen!" if the video does not show watch the video here

Especially with some KKS being busy with senbatsu stuffs.
Kasumi is indeed learning many positions and becoming invaluable member (candidate) to AKB48. I had least expectation for her among the 18s. She has come a long way from her zenza girl performance and really impresses me now. I thought she looked too mature for a high school student but now this is my wallpaper
RIP my heart ( pass me) https://x.com/kasumin_akb48/status/1779830838240371170?s=46&t=2KxRQXvcVugy3WXUixRjTg
