Moments ago, on NHK’s Kouhaku Uta Gassen 2013 (Red White Song Contest), Japan’s highest rated year-end music extravaganza show, AKB48′s Yuko Oshima announced that she is graduating from the group, and that the Kouhaku performance will be her last as a member of the popular Japanese idol group.
The announcement came as a shocker even to most members of the AKB48 group — numerous members on-stage expressed their disbelief visibly on their face, although a few of the front-line members, such as AKB48 general manager Minami Takahashi and HKT48′s Rino Sashihara, appeared to have been in the loop on Oshima’s decision, as they began to tear up moments before Oshima dropped the bomb.
More details to come soon; breaking story.
