Before Stage48 crashes for the rest of the day here's the gradcon details: Graduation Concert: September 26th and 27th at Nippon Gaishi Hall Graduation Performance: October 5 (12th Anniversary) Source: https://twitter.com/akb48memo/status/1225762050254589952
Wow didn't expect this (so soon) at all!!! Just watched the SKE senbatsu TDC concert and thought, she really looks tired. And bang she announced her departure of the group. Sad... I think her health didn't get better and she decided to leave. Wish her the best!!!

What saddens me is that jurina is not getting a Nagoya dome gradcon, but hopefully dasu will get one.
Thank you, Jurina for all of your hard work and long years you gave us! Good luck with finally healing. But, yeah: prolonging until October will be painful
https://twitter.com/s_egg/status/1225765035940564993 Q: When did you start thinking about graduation? Jurina: Probably when Masana graduated.
Big respect to her, I got into the train too late to really be a fan of hers but to me this feels like Michishige's graduation from MM. If only she had done it at the height of her Idol powers like Sayumi did. Oh well, stuff happens, farewell, Matsui, good luck forward.
Well...that's incredibly shocking...but also I guess it isn't? IDK. Jurina is such an OG. Major respect and while she's here for most of 2020, it will be one hard graduation to watch. She'll have a good career tho; she's still sooo young lol.
Truly the end of an era. Jurina's been in SKE too long to imagine a group without her. She was once my kami oshi, and even now she's still #2 to me so the announcement cut really deep. Would really like to attend her grad con, but I'm expecting tickets to be nigh on impossible to obtain
Oh, Jurina... You said you would be there for a long, long time... but your body got the better of you. You truly did your best, girl. You deserve to have a break.
I still remember a tall girl, tanned by the sun, athletic with a deep look and a charming smile of about 15 or 16 years at the SKE48 audition, left me stone when she said she was 11 years old. Now the important thing is to take it with calm for your career. PS:There will be no more kissing from Jurina.
A pity, that her peak in 48G (I assume around #1 SSK timeline) wasn't as glorious as it's meant to be. Well, might see wrestler Jurina now perhaps?
When I read Jurina announced graduation,it gave me an empty feeling. She is my SKE48 oshi and she has always been one of my favs in AKB48,how can I forget her as Center in Majisuka?. Or when she performed alongside Sayanee and Yuko in AKB. She is truly one of a kind idol,so generous to others. I´m already missing her. This year is coming hard so many graduations from aces/centers all of sudden, as people said,the end of an era. Hopefully she won´t dissapear!. Jurina,we will support you!.
I never posted in this thread, but I too wanted to share my feelings about Jurina's graduation. I've been following AKB since 2010, so I basically never knew it without Jurina. I also never knew AKB without its sister group SKE. Jurina was never an oshi of mine, but I did always like her and I'm really sad to see her leave. However, I hope she can properly rest now so that she can start this new chapter strong. I sincerely wish her all the best, she definitely deserves success. Jurina worked so hard all of these years and I'm very grateful for that. I feel nothing but respect for her. I'm looking forward to these last months before she leaves, I hope she gets to enjoy them.
I'm still wanting the Hollywood Jurina vs. Debbie Kong rematch (Make it happen Kenny for AEW Full Gear 2020 with Hollywood Jurina vs. Nyla Rose lol).
I wasn't a fan of Jurina when she first debuted but she grew on me afterwards. At this point, I expect all the older members that are left to graduate. I don't find it surprising, she already accomplished so much at such a young age. I wish her the best and I hope she continues to succeeds after graduation.
